What types of lures are being used on RC when you find top water action?

feed them a 1/2 oz trap and most likely they will hit it about the 3rd crank.........also use spoon......tiny torpedo in clear works too......last week trap and spoon outproduced a topwater lure 10-1..........

showell

Clear torpedo always works for me. I have thrown the extact same one for over 15 years!

I like to use a model a crankbait, that gets down about 4 feet and though the fun of having them explode on topwater is gone you tend to get a little better fish and you can stop the retrieve and it will float back up and usually gets a strike. I learned this from Doyle Holman and he catches 1000's of fish on RC.

For a topwater, I like to use a spitting image

That is problay why your lure is Bent and Broken. Go buy a new one. LOL

"I have thrown the Exact Same one for 15 years"

I have been tossing the same old rattletrap at them for the last month or so....you should see how beat up it is.....it is going to have to break off for me to get rid of it..LOL


Back about a month ago, we and Bob Holmes were getting lots of hybrids on rattle traps...

I am gonna try my luck tomorrow. I have some chrome slabs I am gonna fling at them.

I have had great success using blue/white Tailhummers (5/8 oz.) and white or char. Humdingers (3/4 oz.). These lures sink pretty fast and tend to pick up larger fish. They are good for hybrids, too. Also an advantage is that you can cast them a long way and accurately.

Best lures I have ever used.

I did pretty good monday with a charteuse tail hummer.

BobC; I tore them A new one with my char/white and blue ghost minnow memorial day at Tawak.

B.B.- Tried to call you, went to voicemail. Give me a buz 936-348-8968.

Calling ya as soon as wife gets off the phone.Yooooouuuuuuuu know how that is bla bla blabla silenceblablabla bla.

How do you guys work a spoon? I like to let it sink and flutter through a group of baitfish bustin the surface, if I see that. But I'm not sure the best ways to work it otherwise.
