Weagle
Suick, 9", unweighted
Topraider, it's black
Wabull
Violent Strike Mag Willow Spinnerbait
Various Creatures
This will change year to year by a bait or two. 'Bout a C Spot. |

Location: Perryville, MO | Well I suppose there's no terrible surprise as I've put together a bit of a composite. Lots of baits so I may have made a mistake or two (as I did this in a short amount of time).
1. Dawgs 31 (pounders - 5, regs - 12, mag -14)
2. Suicks 27 (9" & 10" were mentioned, most weighted, many not specified)
3. Cowgirls 26 (5 were super models)
4. Topraiders 19
5. Weagle 15
6. Phantom 11
7. Double10 9 (not specified)
8. Jakes 8 (mostly 10")
Curly Sue 8
9. Depthraider 7
10.Gerry's Girl 6
Pacemaker 6
Believer 6 (different sizes mentioned)
Shallow Invader 6
11.Mepps Inline 5
Chopper 5
Slammer Twitchbait 5
Hellhound 5
11. 3-4 lists
Hawgteaser, Dream Catcher, Creeper (generic), Triple D, Shumway Flasher, Red October Tubes, One-eyed Willy, Shallowraider, Crane cranks (different models), Wades Wobbler, Grandma (different sizes).
Again this may be a bit rough in terms of numbers. Several people, of course, mentioned suckers as well.

The Cowgirl thread got me thinking...just like it was said, most of us use the same "go to" or confidence baits 90% of the time. Tackle boxes full nonetheless, we throw the same bait again and again. Time of year, conditions, body of water, surely come into play. But still we turn to our confidence bait. What five baits could you not live without? All your tackle gets burned up in a fire and you only have $100 dollars to replace baits (God forbid that to ever happen to any one of us). What are you buying?
Fire perch Weagle (old one 4.8 ounce)
Tan Perch Talonz Little Claw Twitch version
Ace Scooter in Green Frog/green tail
Crane 206 white belly perch
double #8 Shumway Flasher Black and Gold

Great thread, thanks to everyone who posted. As a rookie this info will save me a lot of money.
just remember that a the majority lure's triggering ability is done by the Indian, not the arrow. So you still need to buy everything and see what YOU can make a lazy fish bite on! In the right hands, a manta, say for example, is deadly...in average hands it's very mediocre...same goes for lots of jerks and cranks! |

Location: Perryville, MO | I absolutely appreciate longNtoothy's advice. I'm still a rookie to ski's, but definitely can relate from other fishing experiences. With a texas rig or caolina rig I can trigger bass to bite just about anywhere, but my partner would go fishless. His cranks and my cranks are never the same make, though we've fished together alot of years. May look exactly the same, same profile, same color, same depth range, but he gets action from lures I just can't and vice versa. Confidence and the intracacies of working a particular bait for sure (it can't just be luck...it's happened just way too many times for there not to be a more substantial explanation).
That said, I think the list will help me as well as other rookies to narrow the search for lures that work for the particular way each individual fishes them. Still, no doubt I'm gonna be "muskie stupid" for a while like everyone else until the learning curve levels off a bit. Guess that's just part of the process. I'll enjoy the ride and pray my wife doesn't divorce me thru the process. |
