Oh, I'm going to give it a good college try this year with him. I'm not going anywhere yet!!

WOW, right on. If I head South, I'll definitely hook up with you! Thank you!

I'll also add a huge factor to the list above, locating the fish. My experience definitely coincides with the old saying that 90% of the fish are located in 10% of the water.

They have the same basic needs we do; comfort, shelter, and food. If you can find a location that has all three of these you'll be nearly guaranteed to find the fish. Though this gets especially difficult when the fish are relating to abstract or invisible structure like current flow or temperature gradients.

Makes sense. I was just at Bi-Mart after I posted that LED question and saw they had an electronic lure. I just started laughing when I saw it. It wasn't an LED lure, but some other type of electronics?

I did see the Bangtails (one word) though, and they look identical to the Rooster tail! Thanks again for the info.

Yeah that was probably an e-chip you saw. I think those are mostly geared towards salmon/steelhead but if they work they'll work for many more species of fish.


Hey no problem!

Well if we are talking about my favorite lure, it has to be the Buzz-bomb. its pretty close to a nordic jig.They have them in pink, orange(my favorite), white w/ fades. this lure has never let me down. if in doubt i always turn to it! just because u can use it in pretty much any way. trolling, casting it, jigigin it.

Here is the website to it. I guess it's an electro-magnet or something similar to give off a field around the lure to represent electric discharge of fish?!

They mention crystals, so it's probably a piezoelectric. From what I've read most "advanced" fish lack electroreception and so it's probably more a gimmick than anything. But that's not to say there couldn't be something to it. I've heard of downrigger cables "pulling" schools of kokanee, though that could also be explained by the downrigger cable's charge pulling or attracting the phyto and zoo plankton more than anything.

1. kastmaster (rainbow trout color) overall my fav lure, in any color
2. buzz bomb (orange color) any species of trout, kokanee, bass, you name it
3. panther martin (black on black) especially in rivers for browns in central or
4. krocodile (silver color) my all-purpose lure
5. bangtail (silver on white) local ponds, great action, great fish

now, i hear blue fox spinners are some favorites but have never tried one surprisingly, is it worth it to go buy a few and try em out?? or stick with panthers and bangtails

If you're in need of some new tackle I can definitely recommend the multi-packs Walmart sells. Last time I looked the price comes out at about 97 cents per spinner in the pack, where as the same ones sometimes are as expensive as $1.50 individually. And in my experience they work just as well as any other spinners, probably even have less line twist because the body is shaped more like a keel.
