I have to say, the curly tail is my favorite lure for everything, and there are so many ways to use it, jigs, trailers, on a bare hook, the opportunitys are endless, now all you have to do is make a 50 best flys ever and i would hope the number 0ne would be the Clowser minnow.

to me the best plug ever made was called a ( scrambled egg).it was a good bass and jack fish plug.the company that made it went out of business and wouldn't sell the patent to it.would love to see it back on the market again.people that still own one wont sell theres or fish with them for fear of losing them forever!

The curly tail works great for our monster smallmouth we have on the columbia river. For Chinook Salmon It's The K-16 Kwikfish wrapped with sardine and the best lure for Steelhead is a lil corkie and yarn...

FISHING TIP RE:ZARA SPOOK for Striped Bass/Blue Fish.
Old timer gave me this awesome tip, drill a BB size hole about 1/4" or a bit more behind the eyes directly along the spine. Put a tsp of mineral oil or cod liver oil and seal with silicone.(just enough for it to float with the head bobbing upward) In the surf this extra weight will scream the lure an extra 30 yrds (more if you use braided line)and the stripers smash em. They're also cost effective $5, so if you lose em it doesn't sting as much!

Actually, the Daredevle spoon rotates 360 degrees instead of the "wobble" effect as the Cleo, or the Darting action of the Kast Master, so a steady retrieve is a better presentation for this lure!

Like DakotaMan said, I cannot believe the Bass-O-Reno wasn't even mentioned. The Bass-O-Reno goes back decades and was what I used to call the "cheater lure". If fish aren't hitting on anything, put the Bass-O-Reno on, I believe I have ALL these lures in at least one of my too many tackleboxes. Lures are greatest at catching fishermen in the bait stores. They caught me every time along with all the fishing magazines. Come to think of it, I didn't see strip-ons shown either. ahhh kids

Old timer gave me this awesome tip, drill a BB size hole about 1/4" or a bit more behind the eyes directly along the spine. Put a tsp of mineral oil or cod liver oil and seal with silicone.(just enough for it to float with the head bobbing upward) In the surf this extra weight will scream the lure an extra 30 yrds (more if you use braided line)and the stripers smash em.

these are all great lures it's a good list for new fishermen to start with. The little hints and tips is what makes this a super list. It's a good place to start to help teach kids how to fish. pass the love of the sport on, while enjoying our old favorites.

to me the best plug ever made was called a ( scrambled egg).it was a good bass and jack fish plug.the company that made it went out of business and wouldn't sell the patent to it.would love to see it back on the market again.people that still own one wont sell theres or fish with them for fear of losing them forever!

The curly tail works great for our monster smallmouth we have on the columbia river. For Chinook Salmon It's The K-16 Kwikfish wrapped with sardine and the best lure for Steelhead is a lil corkie and yarn...

Actually, the Daredevle spoon rotates 360 degrees instead of the "wobble" effect as the Cleo, or the Darting action of the Kast Master, so a steady retrieve is a better presentation for this lure!

Like DakotaMan said, I cannot believe the Bass-O-Reno wasn't even mentioned. The Bass-O-Reno goes back decades and was what I used to call the "cheater lure". If fish aren't hitting on anything, put the Bass-O-Reno on, I believe I have ALL these lures in at least one of my too many tackleboxes. Lures are greatest at catching fishermen in the bait stores. They caught me every time along with all the fishing magazines. Come to think of it, I didn't see strip-ons shown either. ahhh kids

Additional Info

Whether you target bass or walleyes, trout or stripers and more, these are lures that actually work. Some selections are lures your granddad fished. Others are so new you might not have seen them yet. In all cases, though, you'll find a lure that catches fish, specified right down to size and color, along with just what to do when you're on the water.

Picking the perfect lure for a given situation is hard work, so I'll confess to a dirty trick. Before returning to a marina dock or my truck, I take the day's hot lures off my rods and put them away. To the same rods, I then attach lures that didn't work. That means the prying eyes of other anglers in the parking lot will be led astray, and I'll keep a secret to myself just a little longer.

Not this time, though. The lures on these slides are, indeed, the ones I use myself-a core collection distilled through 50 years on the water. They'll work for you, too.
