Question about a lure

FatPat · **Posted:** Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:55 pm

A few years back I was using this certain lure called the Rocket , was wondering what company made this and if it's still available??

Used this lure a few times with sweet results, really calls the fish in and lots of flash etc.

Any help would be appreciated

cheers,
FatPat

Yes my all time favourite lure

Bought these 2 from Skevy's I beleave they are marketed by Strike King now. These are about 3.5 inches long I have another pair about 2inches long that I picked up at Canadian Tire.

Fry Flier thats the one

I've seen imitation ones but the weight of the lure was not the same, they seemed lighter then the ones I had. But thats the lure though....Thanks!!

Mike thanks for the help, not the lures but now you gave me a new site to browse on

When the champs etc. would not work for me this Rocket lure did the trick, has a nice lazy flutter action to it.

thanks again guys!!

Had some for years - bought the first time on the bay but no luck what so ever. Have to give them another go I guess.

Rocket. and sidewinder............ i met an old timer on the bay 7 years back and thats the only two lures he carried out on the ice. the rocket, and the sidewinder.......... they are my go to lures as well now, even though i carry more out on the ice with me, they seem to produce the big pigs.......... perch, walleye. pike. what i like about them is they seem to firighten off the smaller perch so when you do catch fish its usually a larger size in the speciese. dont talke my word for it,,,,,,, just pay attention to your results and see for yourself ............ i cought 6 eyes on big bay yesterday.......... 3 on a champs. and 3 on the sidewinder and the biggest all came on the sidewinder, the rocket didnt seem to produce yesterday but that wont keep me from using it . happy fishing ill be out there sunday evening

I believe the rocket is made by lucky strike .
Most CTC stores have them.
They have worked well over the years.
Good Luck Guys !!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

They are also one of my favorite ice fishing lures as well. I just picked up a couple more from Carra's.

Ummmmmm..... what spoon are ya talkn aboot Fry Flier :wink:

Grizzly it's ironic you mentioned 7 years back because it's been about that or a little more since I've used one on the Bay. I purchased mine at a little tackle/bait shop from an Ol' timer too, forget the name of the place but if ya drive down hwy.2 just past that CAA it was across a conservation park (forgot the name of it) it was more of a parking lot to me though LOL.

The Ol' timer laughed when I bought the lure and pretended to Bless the Lure with a swipe of hand over it, says it will catch ya the big one now LOL.

Later that day I was using it near the Bay bridge area and caught a nice 10.5lb'er :lol:

At the time that was the biggest I got through the ice , but since then surpassed that one.

cheers,

Are you guy's tipping those with any 'Meat"

FatPat · **Posted:** Fri Dec 28, 2007 4:55 pm

For me always Fishtician, and if ya experiment with the way it goes on the hook you'll get many different flutters etc.

Anyway I'm talking too much now LOL :wink:

.......... a jig without meat is a piece of metal dancing in the water....... they will come they will look but unless the bite is really on yer never gonna feel a tap........... one of my favorite tricks is to use a stinger hook with just a piece of minnow on it. the lure lures, the taste is what they will hit on even a shy fish cant resist that little morsal put before them ive cought many 14 pound eyes on that lil #12 stinger dangeling below that big flasher of a lure, the up side also is you can make a dozen minnows last a week if you do it right lol
