What’s your #1 all time bait for fish put in the boat? Mine goes back a ways, but I’m pretty sure its a gold (colored) weighted squirrelly burt
Re: Top producer
Double ten bucktails and Regular size medussas have caught more fish for us then anything else and most of the big ones I've been a part of.

I’ve got a crazy colored double 9 bucktail that has boated a bakers dozen. It’s pretty thrashed but will hopefully last a few more years

Re: Top producer
Not sure the top one, but double digits on a holo perch 10" suick, and a firetiger super shad rap... each on at least 3 different lakes too!

I have an old bucktail with a number 8 Colorado blade painted orange and black. At some point the clevis got bent on such a way that the blade clicks against one of the beads when retrieved, Muskies absolutely love it. I nicknamed it " Natalie " , the alternate name for the dollarville flooding.

Not sure on exact bait, but double 10 bucktails is my top producing bait type followed by bulldawg. I have a nickel/nickel cowgirl that has caught a lot of fish for me so I would guess that's my number 1 bait. I've used it so much one of the clevices broke so it's a single ten right now. Still gets action though!

Re: Top producer
Side to side topwater by far gets the most attention for me.
After that burning smaller single blade bucktails has produced far more for me than bigger blades on our pressured inland lakes.
Also rubber of all kinds

Re: Top producer
Seems like this thread is useless without photos! I'm feeling lazy right now so...
From a numbers perspective, I have a a 25+ year old Cobb minnowbait that has caught fish in every lake I fish in S. Michigan, St Clair and 3 Indiana lakes. It's had the through wire ripped out three times, it's had a number of 5+ fish days and easily has more than 150 fish on it, maybe over 200. If I could ever find another I wouldn't hesitate to spend $100 on it, problem is I've been looking for at least ten years and can't find one...

Never had a ton of luck with rubber. And now that my kids are constantly busy, having time to work on all this is proving dufficult...swanezy wrote:

Re: Top producer
I have a couple that have been good for me but the best one is a mag size little claw with some extra weight in it. I got it at the first lure swap I went to and had a fish on it the next day, it's been catching fish ever since. I tried to have Mike coustom weight a few more but they just don't run like this one does.
