| I just came out of the basement. Though my next fishing trip is weeks away, I'm already sorting through my boxes trying to avoid "kitchen sink syndrome".
While trying to consolidate everything into one big Lakewood box, I noticed that the smallest things that I had stowed away were a couple of 6" Reef Hawgs and some 5" Slammer deep divers.
Am I missing something by going with a "go big or leave it home" mentality?
What's the smallest offering that the rest of you are packing for your fall trips?

| I am with you on the selection you described. There was a stomach contents survey years ago for muskies mounted by the area taxidermists. The average size of the prey found that was measurable was slightly more than 6", if that means anything. [:sun:] |

| Although I fish mostly rivers and creeks that have pure bred muskys in it and one lake with tigers, I seem to have more success with smaller lures. Have tried trolling and throwing 9" Grandmas with no action at all. All the fish that I have seen have been on smaller lures, Baby Depthreaiders, Swim Wizzs, and lures that are no longer than 7" or so. Also slimmer profiles and tight wiggles seem to produce the most follows including a fat 40" tiger that was landed Friday by my fishing buddy on a fire tiger Shad Rap. Not a monster by most standards but a good fish for this area. Two fish have hit jointed Swim Wizzs trolled deep but came off on the way in to the boat. Most of our action have been on trolled Shad Raps. Speed seems to be the key for the most part . Any ideas on how to increase success or other lures to try???
