Bob8899 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I'm trying to locate a minnow shaped lure like the Rattlin Rogue or Magnum Rapala Floater that weighs 1/2 - 3/4 oz. so it will cast well in the wind. The floating rapala magnum in the 4 3/8" length that weighs 9/16 oz would be ideal but none seem to be available. Don't want a suspending lure but a floater one the dives down to about 4-6'. If anyone knows of other lures that would fall in this category it would be appreciated. Quote
Bob8899 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 I finally tracked down a crankbait that most likely will provide what I want. The Bandit walleye series which is about 6" long including bill; weighs ~0.6 oz. Floating and dives (trolling down to about 12' according to the package"). Have not fished it yet so don't know how deep it will dive an a long cast. Bill is about the size of a Bandit 200. I want the bait for a heavy floater diver that will cast well into the wind for fishing smallies on shield lakes in the spring. Something different to fish on waters that are hit a lot by traditional crankbaits. Quote
