Just wondering what everyones favorite color rap is for oneida eyes and perch. I usually stick with blue and silver or firetiger, #3,#5. Anyone have any luck on the green or blue glow tiger. I also run a very small hasp on my spoons and raps for quick change. Anyone feel this would make fish think twice.

Black and silver, and glow perch - more natural than fire tiger. Heard there is a new lure out there that is similar to jigging rap, but glows like crazy. Think they are called mooneyes? Guy at bartells sells them.

it's a secret

I heard the moonshines arent a bad option either, havent tried them yet though. Have had zero luck on the jigging shad rap though, unsure why. In any case i bought a few new color raps im going to give a go over the wknd.

The Glow color in 7cm.
Of course it works best with, you guessed it, a perch eye.

I say any of the smallest sizes in raps.. I like gold but like anything resembling perch patterns best. I like rigging a few combos and switching until I find which lure works best.. usually the perch one works best.

worked great last year me and my dad picked 10 more each this year gonna break them out this week

shimanoman45 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 10:51 PM »

I ordered 2 dozen this yr, the normal colors, and a few of the green and blue glow, and some hot steel. The hot steel did well for me last year, blue and silver is my go to though. All size 3 and 5. I know bigger will work but i want the perch to grab it if they arrive as well.

2 weeks ago I had a rod with a #2 and a rod with a #3, got 6 keeper eyes and 4 jumbos for a mornings effort, before this crazy bite started.. guess what took what?

SNAGGER · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 11:27 PM »

waldos ate the 2's and the perch swam by the 2 to go up 2 more feet for the 3. go figure.

SNAGGER · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 11:30 PM »

every color has its purpose, cloudy days, sunny days, the time of day, color of the water, how much snow is on the ice ect... figuring out the rhythm or puzzle is what its all about, got to own them all...

Chowdaire · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 08, 2014, 03:33 AM »

I've had the same thing with the perch. Target them with the #2 and they won't look at it. But drop the #5 down and they shoot up off the bottom and slam it.

Depends on their mood but don't always assume the smaller sizes are going to be better.

DrGreene · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 08, 2014, 08:58 AM »

No matter what color I use they bite a hell of a lot better with a SMALL buckeye head not the big ones.I got my bigger fish on a rainbow rap

pimplepounder · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 08, 2014, 04:11 PM »

cadance is key too at times

Big-D · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 08, 2014, 05:56 PM »

Anyone try the sebile vibrato or the nils jigger/jigging shad? Just ordered a couple. They look good...
