    100% of 1 votes
    Soft-plastic swimbaits are all the rage among bass fishermen. The Northland Tackle Mimic Minnow is a midget version that's ideal for trout and panfish. It has a holographic finish and comes prerigged on a jighead. $2.40 for two; 800-786-3474; northlandtackle.com
    Price: $2-0 Retail

    I used these last season for walleye when the water was getting cold with a very slow presentation and they work great, the tail action was superb and they catch fish.
  • RAPALA X-RAP

    Exceptional color finishes in 12 flavors high-light this new suspending jerkbait from Rapala. The 4-inch, 7/16-ounce lure features a weight-transfer system for long casts and an aggressive darting action when twitched. $6; 612-933-7060; rapala.com
    Price: $6-0 Retail

    I really like that fact that they suspend, it makes the pause and twitch type of retrieve work really well.
  • RAPALA GLASS SHAD RAP
     
    100% of 4 votes
    Rapala has practically turned the Shad Rap into a live fish by
    adding a see-through body and an inner prismatic strip that
    reflects light in all directions and colors as the lure moves. The
    slightest twitch sends out rays of iridescence, even when the lure
    runs deep in low light. It's a smart innovation, and while other
    such highly reflective lures are pretty pricey, this is one you can
    afford to stock up on. $6; 952-933-7060; www.rapala.com

    I own the perch and white ones and they seem to kill the walleye.
  • Benelli SuperNova

    THE LOWDOWN
    Benelli's 3½-inch Nova has a unique polymer-encased receiver that handles serious abuse. I have personally dunked mine, thrown it in the mud, and bounced it off riprap to no ill effect. The new SuperNova is the same tough gun with improvements. For example, it has a ComforTech stock with gel inserts that soak up kick. You can also switch recoil pads without tools, making it easy to shorten the stock when you're all bundled up in cold weather. The safety button and trigger guard are larger to accommodate gloved fingers. And as with the original Nova, the magazine cap doubles as a pin punch so you have the tools at hand for field stripping.

    I have had this gun for two waterfowl season and have yet to experiance any malfunctions. In 3.5 in. mags. the gun is easy to handle. I have put mine through some rough conditions and it comes out running like a top.
