Curly Tail is often used as a generic term for a whole class of soft-plastic
grubs with curled tails, but it’s actually a trademark of Mister Twister,
the company that made the first ones more than 30 years ago. Combined with a
plain or painted round-head jig, as shown here, these are the best fishing
lures of all time. They are cheap, easy to use, and work very well (in
various sizes) for just about anything that swims in freshwater or inshore
saltwater. As just one example, m | m****x 发帖数: 2506 | 2 11.Storm WildEye Swimbait
Just a few years ago in these pages I predicted the then-new WildEye
swimbaits would be one of the hottest lures to come along in ages. So they
have become, now fished widely in different sizes for everything from stream
trout to saltwater stripers. This 3-inch, bluegill-color version is a good
beginner’s largemouth bass lure because so much of the action is built in.

These spinners are also moderately heavy in proportion to their overall size
. This combined with the spinning-blade angle allows them to run relatively
deep—which is often where you need to be when trout fishing. A 1/16-ounce,
silver-bladed version with a spotted yellow body is my go-to choice for
picking trout from the pockets of steeply tumbling mountain creeks. As with
most trout spinners, fish upstream.

Hopkins Shorty
The densely compact Hopkins Shorty, technically not a spoon, casts like a
bullet, but that same density makes it more widely used in freshwater as a
jigging lure for deep bass. Drop an S-1, silver-finish, ½-ounce Hopkins
straight down in 20 to 40 feet of water when both bass and baitfish are
hanging low. Jig the lure by abruptly raising and lowering your rod tip, and
know that many bass will hit the lure as it drops. hopkinslures.com

Light, buoyant balsa wood is the basis for this classic, fat-bodied
crankbait, giving the plug an extremely lively action underwater. The
original design is still available, and this 7/16-ounce shad pattern remains
a hot ticket for bass everywhere. Try it in the cool, prespawn waters of
early spring to wake up largemouths along the outside edges of emerging
weedbeds. bagleybait.com
