Winter is in full effect for some across the nation. When it happens to me here in WV while fishing is slow I research and try to gain as much knowledge as I can. I also make a tackle list that I try to add to each year. I currently have four lures I'm about to either grab at Cabela's or order online.

My short list is this:

Rapala BX Waking Minnow (Shad or Blue Herring)

Storm Wiggle Wart (Shad or Crawfish)

Koppers Live Target Golden Shiner Lipless Crankbait

Spro Little John MD or Baby in Shad or Crawfish

What is on your short list? Anyone fish any of these with success?

Here is mine (but it might be a long list)

Strike Kong Lucky Shad

Berkley Flicker Shad

Bagley Balsa Shad

Spro Rock Crawler

*** Swim Bento

Gene Larew Rally Grub

And plenty more.....

My short list: Plastics

Zman Leech

 

Jackall Crosstail Shad

I'm definitely going to buy an Arashi Wake, probably in a few colors if it works well. 

Dep's Bullshooter Jr. 

Been catching about 80% of my freshwater fish on a Storm chug a bug and 1/4 oz roostertail, just replace when needed, getting a little low on 4x #4 trebles.   Stocked up pretty good on other items.

Yo-Zuri 3DS Popper.

 

Youzuri 3DB Square Bill.

 

Bagley Balsa Shad.

 

Bagley Rattling Killer B.

 

Bagley Knocker B.

My short list is VERY short:

 

Keitech Swing Impact FAT Bluegill Flash 4.8"

R2S S waver.

The monster size cranks from Lucky Craft.

I'm going to pick up some under spins. Likely swarming hornets and stick some Reaction Innovations little dippers on them. I'm pretty set on everything else. . . For now

R2S S waver.

I plan to try one of these out myself as well, I'll pick one up once I can scrounge up 15 bucks

Ya, I'm gonna pick up a few. Figure I'll like them, judging by some buddies success.

Just about anything from Megabass, I just have to force myself to buy something first

Vision 110's (finally dished out the money for 4 of them)

Spro RkCrawler 55's

R2S Goon

Jackall Aska

Seriously, my list is empty. Of all the additions I made last year, only the StrikeBack spinnerbait showed me something different that was a genuine improvement over existing lures of the same style.

I list is mostly empty

I need 2 spools of 12# flouro, one spool of 8#

A pack or two of hooks

Oh not tackle but a humminbird 899 di/si lol

Constantly restocking Pointers

i snagged some 100's for less than $6 at Dick'sSportingGoods

Just make sure you do the modification to the joint to make them swim better.

 

 

I'd like to add the Spro Rat to my list along with the Hudd Gill

My short list. I am down to 1 Deep Wee R and 1 Big  Jim. I will have to go to some flea markets and shop. 

I also want to pick up some Megabass wild headers. I thought they were coming state side according to Icast.

my list is not short.....
