Slapshot Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Started getting ready for the walleye season, and would like to get everyone's opinion on what brands and colors work for you. I fish anywhere from Buffalo down to Dunkirk. Thanks
mr 580 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Tony, here are some brands and sizes I’ve used. For colors I don’t know what you might already have in your box so pick colors you have confidence in or have worked for you before. Silver Streaks in 3 1/4 Mini or 2 1/4 Jr. , Warrior in 3 3/8 Flutter or 2 1/4 Little Warrior and Dream Weaver 3 5/8 Super Slim or 2 3/8 WD. For sticks I run Bomber Long A, Bandits, Bay Rats and Smithwicks. The Bomber Long A’s are “old school” - the black, silver, orange belly has caught eyes for years. This is a good time to support the local shops. When I buy lures I never buy just one of a color! With all the fish around many colors are working.
Slapshot Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Posted April 24, 2020 Thank you for the suggestions, can not seem to narrow it down to one color. What color Bay Rats work for, I do not have and would like to buy a few. Thanks Tony
bud Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 I never had much luck with the bay rats but perch bomber and fire tiger color worked well last rear remove front hook put bigger hook on rear for better action
mr 580 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Some Bay Rat colors that work for me are emerald shiner, purple secret, purple flash and in close to structure goby color. I use mostly long shallow and some short shallow rats.
milt Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 I like smithwicks in purple or,brownish or green colors. at night I like the greenish colors work best for me jeff
