I try to keep an assortment of 1/8, and 1/4oz bucktails in the tacklebox but yellow, black, white and orange are the go to colors, tipped with a leech most the time but crawlers work when I run out or don't have leeches. Bucktails with swimbaits haven't produced a whole lot of walleye for me, but it is one of my go to lures for pike.
