Lake Trout Lures, Which ones to buy

Hey again ya'll, I am in need of filling my ice fishing tackle bax, and am wondering which lures I need/should buy for lake trout.

Thanks

Berkley white tube kills the lake trout

i have amazing success with swammers, winter and summer
colour combination is up to ypu

on a good day almost any paddletail grub will produce

Nils-Master-Baby-Shad-Jigging-Lures , Williams Ice Jig- half & half Nu-Wrinkle 2 inch in length sometimes I add stinger line with peral 1 inch above hook . I peg the pearl with a tooth pick

Edit pearl

I have never used Swammers, how big should I go with, and how do I rig them.

What size tube, I have never used them before, how do I rig them.

google it, there are plenty of youtubes on this.

Berkley White Tube and the Pearl Simcoe Swammer on a 1/2 oz football jig…killer when presented the right way.

I did catch a whitey last year on a bad bays tipped with an artificial minnow.

Can't go wrong with those 3 thats for sure.

Good luck!!

Cheers

Thanks a lot Slingshot. I will pick some up and try them out.

Good idea alconakevin, I forget how useful google is sometimes.

Hey hillbilly,

I met Will out on the ice a couple years back,, he was using a flasher and a swammer, first time I ever seen one used,,,WOW!!! I just got a flasher for xmas (still wrapped as we speak) and there is no way I would go on the ice without the two put together,, amazing chasing fun show!!! makes the williams seem boring,,, j/k

My three go to laker lures last year were:
1 - swimbait
2 - lipless crank
3 - tubes

I have always preferred smaller baits, 2 3/4" - 4", with tubes on the smaller side and swimbaits in the 3.5-4" range. My biggest issue with big baits is that you miss a higher percentage of the hits, because there is that much more space between the hook and the bottom of your bait on the chase.

White is obviously a good colour, but last year we did some serious experimenting and found some of the more unorthodox colours and swimbaits (not always swammers) to produce better. This year, a friend put together some of the most productive colours and teamed up with bass magnet to make some really top notch custom baits I can't wait to get my hands on (picking them up on wednesday).

Lou, your gonna love that flasher! Let me know if you have any questions or make it down to simcoe this year.

Lipless crank…..I will be trying these this year. I do hear they are killer….

Here is a cool video…..pretty much sums it up. Even though it targets the Walleyes….these all work on Simcoe…..my personal opinion of course!

Enjoy!
