The crankbait Lake Erie walleye trolling runs on — it dives 18 to 22 feet on its own and the dive curves are published.
A short buoyant stick bait that stands up off bottom on a light jighead — the highest-percentage smallmouth bait on the lakes.
A balanced swimming jig that darts in a circle on the lift and glides back — the most productive ice lure ever made.
A thin, high-action trolling spoon with genuinely long-lasting glow — the standard early-morning king spoon on Michigan and Ontario.
A suspending jerkbait that hangs motionless between twitches — the cold-water bait for walleye, smallmouth and browns.
The pier spoon. A heavy, wobbling casting spoon that has caught fall salmon and spring steelhead off Great Lakes breakwalls for sixty years.
A short-shank round jig with a bait-keeper barb designed to hold a whole minnow — the standard river and reef walleye jig.
A single-blade inline bucktail that has caught muskies for sixty years and still gets bit on St. Clair every summer.
A long, thin minnow-profile diver with a tight roll — the alternative when Erie walleye stop eating fat crankbaits.
A narrow, fast-fluttering spoon built for higher trolling speeds — the steelhead and coho answer when kings are not the target.
A big rubber bait with four independently moving tails that can be fished fast, slow, or as a slow-sinking glide.
The tube is still the St. Clair smallmouth bait, and a 3.5-inch green pumpkin on an internal head is the whole answer most days.
A thin metal blade that vibrates hard on the lift and flutters on the drop — the cold-water bait for deep, inactive walleye.
The value flasher — a smaller, lighter rotator that pulls less than an 11-inch chip and still drives a fly hard.
A rotating flasher that emits a small electrical signal along with the flash — run ahead of a fly or a meat rig for kings.
