Cgolf and Fishinkamp, I am totally going to get the grubs and tubes and take a look at some of the lures you guys suggested. Last night I got a pack of Powerbait black craws and a pack of Strike king KVD caffeine paddle tails in green pumpkin with red flake.... They smell like coffee?  Cgolf I like the nick name for the rig and will give that a shot! I don't have any Zman's yet and I assuming they melt in a tackle box? What would you suggest putting them in?

 

 

WRD, I am a shore fisherman currently. My fishing pole is a 6' 6'' medium action Shimano SRS serries with 8lb test line on a Shimano R4000 spinning reel with a 4.2:1 gear ratio.

 

Many say keep them in the bag they came in, but I don't want to put wet baits in a ziplock bag. What I have used is one of those Plano 3500 double sided boxes, brand new of course. I drilled a couple of holes above each compartment to allow the baits to dry. I also put some paper towel in the bottom of each compartment to absorb water. I will see if I can find a picture of the box.

Yeah that would be great! I will have to pick up a couple of them if I get some of them! 

You have a pretty good selection. I live in Indiana so I guess we deal with similar waters minus the pike and Muskie that I'm sure you guys have in Minnesota. Fish those senkos weightless whether it's wacky or t rigged. Use bullet weights when t rigging the curly tail worms. In Indiana I haven't much of anything about deep diving cranks working in the reservoirs near me.
