My answer is all of them. This summer I counted all of mine and I've got 32 and I'm sure that number will go up before season opens. Wish they were made thru wire. I've got about half of mine converted over to thru wire.

Greetings,

Bobbie Baits are among my "go to" baits. It seems that I almost always have several in the boat no matter when/where I am fishing. I have some "match the hatch" color schemes when fishing clear water. I also have several "shock" color schemes to help fish find the bait in dark/cloudy water. I have floating models when fishing above weeds/cover. I also have weighted models when pounding rock humps/reefs.

I will note that both of my 50+ inchers were caught on the same floating eight inch Bobbie Bait in Jailbird color schemes (black and yellow stripes). This lure is now retired and is proudly displayed with a replica mount of my personal best.

Good fishing and tight lines!!

Perch. That being said, perch is usually my favorite color in hard baits no matter what they are and wherever I'm fishing.

I will politely disagree... If that lure for whatever reason got lost, it would be a hard thing to take. When I finally broke the 50" mark, I retired the lure with the replica and I love seeing it and replaying the battle... I have since gotten a bigger one, and that lure is now retired as well. no replica of that fish, but seeing the lure brings back very very good memories...

Interesting take.

I'm going to try to start a poll to see what others think of this.

I'm with ya. Retired a few over the years. Biggest pike, and 2 muskies now. Of course my biggest was caught on some old bagley that they don't make!
