Blade baits for me. Used properly they are highly effective, and I had a few sit for years with no idea how to use them.
Honestly, I’ve never caught a fish on a spinner bait, only on the in-line type.
Bucktails, bucktails, bucktails all sizes did I mention bucktails haha
Freshwater: swimbaits and drop-shotSaltwater: tube 'n worm
Whopper PlopperI've thrown one for musky until my arms have just about fallen off. Caught smallmouth on it but have never even had a follow from the intended species that I know of.The other is Northeast Troller spoons. I can't buy a bump most of the time on them.
X2 but for pike. Largemouth destroy them readily.
