bobbernumber3: "shouldertripper: "You can only choose one. Which one and why?" Me personally? Walleye, lake trout, and smallmouth. I guess the post was more to stimulate some discussion rather than elicit specific advice, but I'm sure I'll learn some things regardless. Seems we're tied at a score of 3-3 so far. |

shouldertripper: "bobbernumber3: "shouldertripper: "You can only choose one. Which one and why?" Walleye - jig and rubber body. Lake trout - trolling spoon. Smallmouth - dang invasive species Original floating is in my box, but rarely used. |

As for me, I've been thinking more about it, which gives you a glimpse into my fishing-addled brain. The original behind a three-way swivel and a 2-or-3 oz sinker in rivers...ooooohhh yeah. Husky Jerks don't work as well in that application. HJ's outperform originals behind downriggers on Lake of the Woods,though. I generally have more success on less-clear water, so HJ for me. Final answer. |

Edit: In stained water or current, HJ all the way. In clear water, original. LMB-original as a twitch bait SMB- HJ stop and go Pike are fine with either walleye-HJ by a nose. You can stop it right in front of them. Rainbow trout-HJ is very good |

Finnboy: "Original. Because it works." This is the correct answer Finnboy. |
