Hey guys. Tomarrow I am getting my insurance money, from all the items that were stolen. I am going to go buy some lures. I already got a new baitcasting combo, and a tackle box. I also got a few lures. I am getting about 500 bucks. I am going to get a nice, maybe hundred dollar musky combo, but otherwise, lures. I have some ideas, but want some ideas on what other people use, and have luck with. I have 3 or 4 places to buy from: Gander Mountain, Sportsmans Warehouse, Tackle Outlet and Thorne Bros. I am fishing in water that is not clear, but now super dark. Anyone got some?

*** for soft plasticsget a little bit of everything he sells nuff said I put them up there with anything else i tried, buy like 10 packs of ewg gammy hooks in 3/0 4/0 5/0. Buy some jigs i like the evolutions jigs booyah jigs really like punisher jigs as well as sk jigs. Get spinner baits i like booyah and i like cavitron buzzbaits get white and charttruse with a mixture of willow and colorado blades. Get some crankbaits if you like them rapala dt are affordable and quality is second to none. Rattle traps are a top producer of mine i love rattilin raps try all sizes in silver blue silver gold chrome blue and silver as well as cotton cordell ones sk red eye and diamond shad. Are you still reading this.  Also try some lake fork tackle live magic shads in 5.5 inch with 7/0 lft swimbait hooks. Also try some shake2 jig heads and zoom finess worms trick worms, lizards, and toads did i mention more ***. Also rage  tail shad. Get some berkley 10" power worms in your favourite colors and some gycb kreatures. Also look for bargin stuff thats quality and get on the water and have fun sucks what happened wish i could help you out

No problem trying to help some one out!

Daiwa,

Chaddy is correct. Please contact *** and you will not be disappointed.

As for other baits, who knows?

What are you comfortable fishing?  Plastics?  Moving baits?  Topwaters? Bottom presentations?

As Catt has said in his past posts, you need baits to cover the top, middle and bottom of the water column.

So what to get?  Well, where and how do you fish?

Rivers?  Lakes?  Ponds?  Deep?  Shallow?  Grass and pads?  Lots of wood and cover?  Structure on the bottom?  Fast?  Slow?  Moving baits?  Wacky?  Drop Shot?  Split Shot?  Shaky Head?  Flipping and Pitching?  Texas?  Carolina?

And when do you do most of your fishing?  This will help you when you think of the water temperature; water clarity; current; rain; thunderstorms; snow and ice; winds; etc.

What makes fishing great is that one day a firetiger crankbait will kill them and the next day they won't touch it so you have to throw a silver Shad Rap and then the next day throw a jig and pig or a plastic.

I really wish I could help you by suggesting the magic baits but as you know each day fishing is totally different than the previous day fishing.

All I can add is to support what Catt suggests and get some topwaters, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, Chatterbaits and plastics of all kinds and colors, including the dreaded Senkos, tubes and as Roadwarrior will suggest, Ikas.

I will suggest weedless hooks and if you want to spoil yourself consider getting some tungston bullet weights for plastics and Carolina rigs.

Just start out getting what you are comfortable with and the Bait Monkey will be joining you soon enough.  ;D

P.S.  If you can wait for the Labor Day sales you can stretch your bucks.

I have a store near me who sells cheap. Got some Rapalas for 2 bucks each.

Here are some ideas:
