Anyone use stick baits

My biggest king last year came on a neon green bomber on a 4 color at the end of May.  If I'm not mistaken, the Spring LOC winner last year was also on a bomber, ran on 6 colors of lead.

Bombers are a very underrated lure. I've caught everything from bass to kings on them and the orange and gold one is a favorite for browns.

I also have used diving plugs like Sooonbill rebels , Lindy shadlings  , and Rapala tail dancers on big boards . They work well to get down to the 20 to 30 ft depths . Got many nice kings on them till Memorial day , and the lake stratifies and Thermocline sets up . Mid morning on is when they seem to work best .

What time of year was it ?

We boated a pile of kings last may off the bar with bayrats xld’s on 5color stealthcore. Deployed it on a whim and it was on fire. Will be running it again this year. And the sticks held up great.

Bay rats, regular and jointed rapala in the spring, shallow early on if the water is clear.  If the water is too scummy I run out to the edge and skim the bottom off riggers with spoons for lakers, they fight real well in the spring.   Itching to go fishing!

We love Bandits for walleye on Erie but replace the hooks and split ring for Salmon we have had problems with both rings and hooks
