What sizes are you guys using out there for the stocked ponds?

I.m using a 1.5" for a little more casting wieght. I've got a gold one but want to get a chrome for thse sunny days. Wierd lure, but effective.

That's a great bait for the Trout I also like the copper color as far as size I usualy like the smallest ones they make.

about how big is the treble hook on that one? 1/6th oz. rite?

I used to fish for trout a lot and as I recall I would go to a smaller trebble hook even on the smaller model. Another bait to try is the small Rebel Crickhopper in the green and orange the trout can not resist it. Be sure and change out the hooks on that bait as well because the ones that come with it are a little too big when going after trout.

Monte you mean the firetiger one? I thought it might be a good lure. But I didn't know if it was the right time of year to try it. I will pick one up when I go to the store. Thanks for sharing that one.

Your right it's the Fire Tiger.

Can you pick this lure up at a local Wal-mart?

Yes I believe so. I already bought one. But I think I bought mine at Gander Mountain. (I have been there and BPS, so can't remember for sure...it is a common lure to find, you should have no problems acquiring one)

Thanks kelkay. Looks like thats where I'm going in the morning.

I've seen those at academy..sometimes on sale for about a buck or two

this bait is at academy
i believe it is 1/12th oz. cant remember.... i unbox them and lose them. LOL

fishes great right out of the box. hook is great and sharp. although it never hurts to hit it with a file if you know what you are doing.

i normally keep gold and silver. nothing special/fancy.
i catch as many as anyone else...

size 502 is a good size. academy or bass pro. never seen any at dfw walmart

Good thing I didn't go to walmart this morning then....

never seen them at walmart either i got mine at bass pro

I picked up one of these at Academy but it has a popper on the front of it. Do you guys use the popper thats on it or take it off?
Thanks

never seen one with a popper....

sure you have the right rig?

Does this lure have a lip on there for a diver?

i dont think you have the right lure
this is the super duper

I used a gold Super Duper (1-1/4") at Fort Richardson Sunday morning. The fish (4-5 each cast) would chase and hit the bait, but I never hooked one. Should I change the hook? If so, what size?
Does this bait work best with or without a swivel? I was throwing it with a light action Ugly Stick and 6# line with a small (size 12) barrel snap swivel.

The crickhopper comes with a popper and it comes without one. I cannot remember the exact name. The original poster I thought meant the one that didn't have the popper. I didn't buy the popper one........sigh. Well when they reply we will know.

What is the proper or best way to rig/use the super duper lure and the crickethopper. This may be obvious to many, but my skills are somewhat lacking. THANKS!

tie it on with 6 or 4 pound line and flingit brotha

iffen that dont work use corn for bait. iffen that dont work stick hands in corn and eat promptly. least you get a meal outta it.
DISCLAIMER
if using worms dont eat those though
