[buzzbaiter]

Panther Martin - it really is the worlds greatest fish catcher. From pike to crappie to walleye to trout to bass to sunfish to pickerel to perch. It gets 'em all.

1/8 oz single blade buzzbait. It may not be the best fish catcher but nothing beats seeing a bass/pike or pickerel smash the hell out of it.

Surface popper. Best stillwater lure. Pretty much anything will grab it although removing 6 hooks from a pickerels mouth can be painful(for you not the fish).

1/8 oz spinnerbait double willow blade. Best cold/coolwater lure.

Zoom Horny Toad or any variation there of. Hookups are lousy but no denying bass love them.
