[QUOTE="MiPikeGuy, post: 337247, member: 12227"] Agreed. I catch fish all spring/summer/fall on various styles of Rapala cranks. Varying retrieve is a great start, same with bouncing off structure. We've had days where smallies would hit right after a twitch or two using a Rapala X-rap. Other days we'd have to twitch it hard 2-3x and wait 8-9 seconds, then when we'd go to twitch again the fish would be there or hit it right as it started to move. I like throwing an x-rap around trees and bouncing it off the limbs, pulls lunkers out like no other. Also, are you "matching the hatch"? so to speak. Using colors of natural forage in the area at the right times of year? I catch the majority of my fish on more natural patterns, with Clown/Firetiger/Hot Tiger being the most radical fish-catching colors for me. [/QUOTE]
