Never really used em whats a good size i have a bunch of the shad type ones that just sit there. Big ones? Or does it just matter on the fish?

Think it depends on the bite. Sometimes downsizing works sometimes they are agressive and want the quick drop. I mainly have used w7

I prefer the smaller ones. #5 with just a minnow head.

I prefer the jigging raps that are shaped like a buckshot spoon.

That made me chuckle, and the golden shiner ones don't work at all...

I agree with Roaster. I caught an 8 lber last year on closing day on a uv jigging rap. This year just before the hard water season started I bought probably 10 different raps online. I have used a couple without even a looker on my screen. I have caught all fish this season on the same lure. A Buck shot.

Buckshot rattle spoon and macho minnows are the ticket for me this year... live forage minnow is working as well

Ive done the complete opposite of yous been getting them on raps and even more aggressive baits with no minnows while I haven't got a single fish on buck shots yet this year

W9. We've tried spoons, pimples, everything else you can hook a minnow to and had more success with aggressive jigging on a w9 rapala not tipped with anything.

Interesting... I've read a few articles in magazines lately about upsizing instead of down sizing when the bite is slow, and jig those big lures very aggressively. Lures such as jigging raps (w7,w9) loud rattle baits (clackin raps, rippin raps, etc...) Very seldom do they tip these baits with anything. If anything, just the head of a minnow. They also suggest setting up a dead stick 2 feet away, so if they don't hit your big aggressive lure, they will hit the dead stick beside it after you have called them in. I do use rattle baits sometimes, and have actually had a perch nail a big clackin rap. Definitely worth a shot if nothing else is working.

Ive been doing pretty well on the smallest perch puppet minnow. Even for big fish!
