#1. 1oz. Rat-L-Trap Chrome with a Blue back. It's been very productive for me.

#2. 5/8 0z. Rat-L-Trap in the same Chrome with a Blue back color BUT! in the floater model. I go to this lure when the fish are smaller or, I'm getting short strikes and not hooking up. I stop my retrive after a missed hit, and it rises to the surface like a stuned bait fish. I've caught many a fish as it floats back to the top. I have alot of trouble finding these!

#3. A chrome or white topwater bait. Cordell pencile poppers work for me. Whether you land the fish or not, It's always a thirll to start and/or end the day with the crash of a topwater strike!
