| in rank order of productivity over the last couple years:
1) bucktail
2) sucker
3) hellhound
t4) bulldawg
t4) wabull
t4) weagle
t7) tube
t7) spinnerbait
t7) triple-d
10) suick
looking at my results the biggest pattern i noticed year-to-year is that i tend to catch fish on the lures i was "into" at the time. it's obvious that at times the cart is in front of the horse. this helped me identify a goal of using what works (for time and conditions) more instead of using what catches my fancy in the tacklebox.

Current Top Ten:
-bomber long a mag (shad flash)
-medium bulldawg (black/orange)
-straight depthraider (perch)
-10" Jake (tennessee shad)
-violent strike spinnerbait
-mepps mariboooo (brass/black)
-XX (white/chart)
-topraider (black)
-weagle (black)
-9" weighted suick
Funny, that above list hasnt changed much in the last few years, and I feel like with those lures I can catch a muskie pretty much anywhere.
Past Top Ten that have dropped off:
-8" HR Shaker (still a great bait, but I've learned gliders have less times and places than people think)
-6" HR Shaker (see above)
-Magnum Bulldawg (I'm older, and have less desire to throw the big plastic, when I can do just as well with smaller offerings)
-Jackpot (still a great lure, but I can do MORE with a weagle)
Possible Rotation Changers:
-Curley Sue (if the action is what I hope it will be, and the Formula X performs as promised, the bulldawg could move to second string)
-Baby Weagle (I havent had a chance to throw the baby yet [hint hint HINT Mr. Breyer] and I'm not sure who this one pushes out of the rotation, but I think it might find a seat at the table)
-The Rumbler (if it can run at the slow speeds I like to run topraiders, i think its destined for greatness)
After 6 years, and this question coming up every 6 mos, I still dig on this thread.

I'm not willing to put myself into the "older" category, but the reg-size dogs flat out do produce! Think about it....still "swims" out to 11 or 12 inches, that in reality a pretty big bait. I will not be selling any of my reg size dogs, let's put it that way....
