Yellow 5 of Diamonds.


Will catch just about any fish there is...I especially like rigging them in 8 ft long snells and crawler harness....double hook a minnow or power crawler....deadly combo on Northern Walleye....

Same rig will catch Pike, or Trout as well.

jig, catch any species, shallow or deep.

But many do not use.

More fish for us jig users though.

Not underrated, but its my go-to anywhere if nothing else is working. Never fails.

Has to be Rapala though, knock offs are rubbish!

Yep but in a different #. If you had to 100% survive on fish with one lure almost anywhere on earth the yellow twister tail gets my vote leaning for the double tail in big waters.

Blue Fox Vibrax spinner, in Chartreuse. Seems to be underrated here in AB.

The knock off definitely don't swim as true, don't last as long nor are they built with decent rings or hooks.

I am happier paying double the money for a lure that will work better and last longer.

Gold/Brass Len Thompson. Best used when the water is flat and the light is fading.
