Spoons and Other Lures

[cfindlay]

OK, So I have the equipment I think I need to target some of the lakes fish. I was wondering what is everyones preference on spoons and which manufacutres would you suggest. I've mainly used Michigan's in the past. When trolling stick baits do you just use rapalas or another brand?

Rapala , thunder sticks , smithwicks , bay rat are good stocks mostly in spring. Finger lakes spoons , northern king , dreamweaver , moonshiner

Good sticks * . Get a spin doctor and fly too for summer

Do stick baits only catch browns orwill kings bite them 2

[Big Dave]

Oh Kings will hit them, but most of them arn't made to take to many king hits.

If you are going for trout and salmon buy a few spoons and flasher/fly combos now. And stock up on some stick baits over the winter. Those are mostly used in the early spring.

This is my sophomore season and I'm still learning . Last year I went with strictly a few spin docs / fly and maybe 5 spoons. I caught some fish on the spin doc/ fly.

This season I watched the classifieds here and got some great scores on lots of gear that would have cost me much more to accumulate over time .

All of that gear has helped me catch fish this season .

My suggestion is to get a little gear to get started and keep an eye out for package deals. Seems season end ( or any time , really , there is always plenty for sale to stock up quickly

Good luck
