A nice selection of lure’s ? @hvyhaul and great information as well!! I have a few of those lure’s as well & thanks for sharing. ?????Something with orange was very strong this year.
This year I picked up a few BBQ Chicken SS spoons. They were absolutely killer, to the degree that I ran 4 of them at the same time.

They never stopped working all season.
SS Greasy Chicken was very strong.

SS Orange Crush, for some reason LC loved this spoon.

This is the Michigan Stinger Red Chicken Puke, mine aren't as yellow as this and it also worked well.

I fished a few others as well, but the above lures went on the line a lot.
Confusion, but the Pink Anti Freeze version was a great "wake up the Walleye" if things died down after a while.

Hardly ever put a body bait on, and if I did, it usually came off pretty quickly.
If I had the Fish Hawk in the water, 2.3 mph at the probe, otherwise it was sound, feel and GPS speed which I am not completely confident with.
Excellent@Elmerfudd… Lots of good advice already given but your non-success running spoons may be speed. What speeds have you tried trolling spoons? I vary the GPS speed between 2.5-3.1 mph but most days run in the 2.8 range. I run mostly Silver Streak Mini and a few Michigan Stinger spoons all with copper back over the silver back with great success in the Central Basin. On occasion I also use the smaller JR Streak (junior) spoons if the fishing is slow which is very seldom these days. Colours in Nascar, mixed veggies, blueberry muffin, pink panties, greasy chicken, purple greasy chicken, BBQ chicken, Kevorkian, red huckleberry, watermelon, Walmart, Tequila sunrise, confusion just to name a few but all work excellent depending on the day. Hope that's of some help. ?
Excellent information @Wave Runner!! ? and a great variety of spoons!! I never started using junior spoons till last year,but anglers such as yourself and @Extra Virgin,@Dmanwithnoname etc., turned me onto the junior,(mini),size spoons,and I had great success on them last year & I thank you all for sharing such a great tip!! ?????@Elmerfudd… Lots of good advice already given but your non-success running spoons may be speed.

It sure does for sure @Wave Runner & thanks!! Would you like to see more photo’s like that? ?????Looking out the window with all the blowing snow here that bottom photo of you sitting in your Lund with a beautiful lake behind you sure looks inviting my friend. ???
“Mmmm” @Extra Virgin the “Confused Ho” in the Jr size,eh!! I don’t believe that I have that one,(I will check my Jr size spoons) & it sounds like a winner & thanks ?!! my good friend ?? for another great “tip!!”?????I spoke with the guys at Angling Outfitters in Woodstock and it sounds like they won't be ordering in the Jr's for this spring. I know Steve at Lambeth rod and tackle has quite a good selection of all three sizes in stock right now..... Except my go to pink spoon "Confused Ho" in the Jr size (hint hint Steve!) "CJ special" is close but it ain't no ho ?
