| Never done a whole lot of twitching, just starting to get into it more. What are some of the better baits on the market for this presentation? Thanks in advance. |

| Big game twitch bait is awesome, a 8 inch jake is also really good. |

| My favorite is the Big Game. They have a really unique wobble on the rise and I have much better luck with the Big Game on the pause than alot of other baits. These baits also troll really well...

Location: Dixon, IL | 6" and 7.5" Grandma is great for me! Lot of nice up to 5 lbs bass on 6" Grandma twitched! I used 50 to 65 lbs Power Pro line. |

Location: Michigan | 8" and 10" Surface Twitch from Big Game. I also took a new plastic composite 7" Big Game for a test drive recently, had a musky boated within a half hour on it. Really nice baits. |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | You specifically said "twitch" and for that reason I'll leave out the baits that I consider slash baits or rip/pause baits and just stick to "twitch" baits. Talonz Little Claw, big game, 8" jakes, shallow raider, 6" Grandma all fall into the twitch bait category. |

Location: oswego, il | I like cranes, ss shads, pearson plugs, some muskie 911, water wolf fatboy and the hoosire hand made muskiebaits shad crankbait. If I want to run a little deeper, the cranky nitro is a great choice. |

| Grandma's, hands down. I don't think the Jake's have as nice of any action and they seem to rise faster. I like a bait that seems a little bit more neutrally bouyant in the water.
I also like to use DD's, but I wouldn't think of them as a twitch bait.

Location: Greenfield, WI | How could this discussion go this long without Slammer Crankbaits in 6", 8" & 10" being mentioned?
I was very happy with the old model wood baits performance with the exception of the bait rising like a "cork on steroids" at boatside.
The solid plastic baits have eliminated that problem.
Everybait is the same boyancy without dealing with every piece of wood being unique in its performance.

| Talonz Little Claw out twitches them all,followed by the Claw. Big Games are next. For a 6" size you can't go wrong with a Baby Shallow Raider. |
|
| |
|
Location: Chicago, IL | another nod for the slammers - 8" & 10" models
triple d's for deep twitchin
shallow invaders work well too |
|
| |
|
Location: Ohio | 6 and 8 inch Pearson Plug shallow minnows snappy action and hang time. |
|
| |
|
| Esox Minnow by RJ Lures 5" 7" 9" and 11". Great hang time w/ a lot of vibration. |

| Talonz for sure, but you have to finesse them a little. Great lure!
Big Games are good.
I used to use Cranes a lot for their vibration, but hit one rock and your lip is history.
Plastic ones.....I go with Grandmas. |

| second the recommendation on Jake's & Grammas,
i have used Slammers off & on too......all pretty similar action
but Slammers don't seem to get as deep as the other two
just my $0.02 |
