Lures for x-mas 2024

Schaefer reply :

Well, im trying to make a list of some baits for my GF to get me for x-mas, but I cant seem to zero it down to what I need/want. :-/ So, im in need of some suggestions:P. What are some baits you guys use that are a MUST have in your tackle box?? :-? OR if you have some good suggestions for someone who mostly fishes from shore.

Thx, Schaefer

LC topwater- Sammy or G-Splash

RatLtrap

Rapala cranks- Dt-3-Dt 10

Jigs

Jig Trailers (Twin tails, hula grubs)

Rob G. reply :

Unless your g/f is an avid fisherperson herself, do not let her buy you lures unless you show her explicitly what you want. You will end up with some lures that either look really pretty, or the dumbo working at the sporting goods store talked her into. You pretty much are gonna have to take her by the hand and show her. No offense intended, but this is usually how it works.

Schaefer reply :

I have alot of trust in her , and I know if she is indoubt she well ask me.

One question, can you fish rat-l-traps from shore without getting snagged 24/7?

rondef reply :

I have been using rat-l-traps for the last month without too many problems. I have lost 2 of them but that come with the territory where I fish when you are trying to catch the lunkers.

Manns -1 Crankbaits

Rapala SSR7 (bluegill)

Swim Senkos

Shad X-Rap

Cory N reply :

Lures that I'm asking for that I think would work well from shore:

1/4 cavitron chart./white....have to see why it gets so many thumbs up

Mann's waker- ghost minnow and/or matte tiger....looks like a good entry to wakebaits in both size and cost

Pre mentioned swim senkos

Bassn Blvd reply :

2 rapalas (one black over gold and other silver over gold), rattle trap( blk over chrome), and worms. WORMS, WORMS, WORMS. Perhaps some flukes too.

mpharris1989 reply :

haha i asked my girlfriend to get me a "rapala dt-4 'dives to 4 feet' crankbait in fire tiger color" for a cheap stocking gift and she just laughed since i made it sound so technical.....

...she ended up going to bass pro, with that memorized, and told the worker, and she said he gave her the wierdest look, since she said it like she actually knew what she was doing

fourbizz reply :

I only asked for one bait. She got me this one.

Dan: reply :

I just asked for gift cards, that way I can make sure I get the things I wanted. It makes it easier for me and the gift giver.

Mattlures reply :

I agree with Hookemdown.

Bizz Mickey sure makes a pretty bait!

fourbizz reply :

he sure does matt, i've got an addiction to his hardbaits that just won't stop.

Actually, the X is used because it stands for the Greek letter Chi ([ch967] = ch) which is the first letter in Christos meaning Christ. Many Christian symbols use the X or a modified version of it.

Now back to the original thread

FishTank reply :

I have been wanting one of those Lucky Craft Pointers with real fish skin. Hopefully, Santa (wife) will deliver . Ho, Ho, Ho.

Yup, the way to go.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

I was having the same trouble narrowing it down for a list, but then figured my wife, mom, dad, sisters, and brother would mess it up by getting the wrong bait anyway, so I just asked for Gander Mountain Gift Cards. I got a pile of 'em coming to satisfy the ol bait monkey.

If this turns into a religious "discussion" I will delete the quoted post AND mine, but here is a brief history on the origin of X-mas:

RW, thanks for pointing that out to me. I've never seen that before.

My apologies

Schaefer reply :

I think I might go for:

Lucky Craft Sammy (if the shop around here has them)

Some Rat-l-traps (or versions of it)

Spinnerbaits (booyah/strikeking)

Shallow diving cranks (been looking at the shallow bomber cranks)

Ill probably add some to the list and let her decide the limit .

Sounds good to me.

If your looking for shallow running cranks, Mann's 1 minus series is hard to beat.

Schaefer reply :

Ill have to check those out

.dsaavedra. reply :

any rapala lures are good and will work.

some specific lures are

jointed shad rap

original floater

any DT's

some must haves for me are:

lunker city ozmo

yum dingers

river2sea v-joint min wake

FivePoundBluegill reply :

Just ask for a gift card because most non fishermen/woman will end up getting you the wrong baits.

I tried that, she asked how much. 250... akward pause.... the "Are you crazy" look.... then walked away.

I gave my gf a list:

-Huddleston ROF 5 or 12 in Trout. Any questions ask 4biz

-Norman DD22 in Shad - Any question ask 4biz

-M.S. Slammer 9 in. Dark Trout. Any questions ask 4biz

-Eakins Jigs any size and color (Except for ones you think are "PRETTY") Any questions ask 4biz

It helps having a friend that knows stuff.

Bankbeater reply :

Gift cards from Cabelas and BPS.

SBM-RL reply :

Do not underestimate the shopping ability of women. My ex girlfriend last christmas was absolutly amazing we set our limit at $300 I told her to just get me all fishing lures and she got me like 7 luckycrafts, a bunch of bagelys, dt's ,Tons of fat ikas ,creatures and senkos, some T-1s, hula poppers, jitterbugs, A big 4 star tube kit, gama worm hooks in 3/0 and 4/0, a bunch of terminater,stone, and strike king jigs, 1000 yard spools of yo zuri hybrid, a few diawa cranks etc. Ill admit it wasnt just luck id been training her all summer on fishing stuff but dont be scared to ask for confusing stuff some girls can come through beleive me its a risk worth taking.

luckyinkentucky reply :

Gander Mountain or BPS gift card!

Seriously! You will end up with 'not-exactly-what-you-wanted' and she will feel bad if you take them back to exchange them. Some people think gift cards are not well thought out gifts. Me, on the other hand, see it as the exact opposite. You are being considerate enough to tell the person to get what they want instead of what you want them to have.

I'm the 'King of Christmas' with my Dad's side of the family, because I always give gift cards. It's better to give a well thought out gift card than to give them something like socks, or something they will never use or they already have 3 of.

I'm one of the fortunate ones to have a wife that knows what to look for in baits. She is an avid fisherman and learner herself, so I have nothing to worry about. Although, most women are the total opposite.
