Most successful lures
Just wondering what people have had the best success rate using. The lures I've had the most Luck with are Len Thompson #5 for rivers and lakes and two different rapala fat raps for lakes, a brite green for sunny days and a dark orange for shady days. And I don't mind the odd berkley tri worm here and there. Whats your favorites?

Yellow with red five of diamonds, white or black leech patterns, and wedding band in that order. I have caught more fish with those in species, location, technique, and size than most of my other tackle combined, ice and open water. The fact I almost always catch a fish with one of those makes them my favorites.
Less successful lures can be more fun to fish, eg my addiction to dry flies and new found clacking rap everything.

Red and white Len Thompson for me in the summer. This winter I have been nailing pike on a Rapala X-Rap slashbait, I drilled small holes in the plastic bill that comes out of the front and tied a little weight there to make his head sink, it looks like a feeding fish on the bottom. It's pretty cool watching the pike slowly sneak up from behind it then nail it all of a sudden.
Rattlin Raps are also a very good lure, more so in the summer I find but I have gotten a few on them in the winter.

Mepps Cyclops spoons are my go to on open water, tough to beat thier action.
Winter is a Hex Wobbler 5/8 oz jigging spoon is most productive for me in a pink faded pattern for pike and walleye. Smaller size in fire tiger for perch.

Not everyone knows what a Lenny spoon (Len Thompson spoon) is...
5 of diamonds seems to be popular, but the red and white has worked well for me also. Keep some of each in different sizes, as well as some with paint sanded off... gives a nice opaque effect.
Im thinking with an eye or two......

My go to is the rapala husky jerk in fire tiger or clown colours. Works good trolling or even better casting with a reel and stop style. If I can't catch pike or walleye on that then I know it's going to be a slow day with lots of trial and error

Lure Jensen T-50 and T-60 for char...wedding bands and 1" to 3" flatfish in different colours for rainbows, by far the flatfish has been the most productive.
T-50 in the picture, I couldn't find any in the stores in Edmonton....

8 to 10 inch vipers. Nothing like turning big blades for massive pike.

In open water my go to lure is 3/8 jighead tipped with a fresh minnow.
On the ice it has to be the 5 of Diamonds.

5 of Diamonds Len Thompson. I've probably caught at least one of every species of fish that I've caught on one. From grayling to perch, pike to rainbows.
