Storm Wild-eyes and the smallest bulldawgs put more 10+pounders in my boat then anything else last year.

1) Northam Spinnerbait (Perch) - Burn it on a 7.1:1 baitcaster. Add a twitch at the beginning and another about half way back. Finds the aggressive fish.
2) Williams Wabler (copper & silver, hammered finish) - A nice steady retrieve, nothing fancy. Awesome on colder, cloudy days. Casts a mile on mh spinning gear.
3) Bomber Long A (fire tiger) - A simple stop and go. I like a 7' med spinning rod, but casting gear works too.

Early and late season I like black double bladed buzzbaits for bigger fish. For numbers I like #50 Williams Wobblers in either the red/white or frog pattern, if the fishing is slow #40 work well or trolling a typical walleye spinner rig with live bait or gulp does well too.
Mid-summer, I like frogs in the weeds. If you're on the right spot, you will get more than just snot rockets in weeds in the summer.
On some bodies of water, especially up north, metallic Wobblers are king.
I can't wait for topwater pike!!
Tight lines,

White buzz bait... double pump gets me consistent numbers.
BUT...
Caught more big boys on little skitter pops than any other lure.
