I'm a fan of the Half-Wave Spoon for big northerns on the edge of cabbage beds. Also like the Williams Wobbler for walleyes in current.
Lure Shout-Out
Essentially "shout-out" a tried and true bait a little off the beaten path... Gives ideas for the upcoming season 
Fin-Tech Title SHot Spoon - Good for northerns in heavy cover, bought a few more at the Figure 8 booth at the boat show for $3

In the early season when the walleye and bass are up in the shallows, a shallow suspending bait like an X-Rap or Husky Jerk is tough to beat. Long pauses are key, but you have to be patient.
If you're fishing a spot you know there are fish, a well placed wacky rigged senko is pretty much a guarantee. Again, the pauses of letting it sit there or slowly sink is key. Run it weightless when it's calm or with a tiny bit of weight if it's windy so you can detect bites.
These things even catch walleye more often than not...

I've also caught (bigger) perch and gators on them too.Backroad Benny said:In the early season when the walleye and bass are up in the shallows, a shallow suspending bait like an X-Rap or Husky Jerk is tough to beat. Long pauses are key, but you have to be patient.

How would you rate their ability to shed weeds compared to the Johnson Silver Minnow?BlueBomber666 said:Essentially "shout-out" a tried and true bait a little off the beaten path... Gives ideas for the upcoming season

Going old school to the days when I was a kid and had the luxury of fishing with the Eaton's angling club, or the Inkster club.
There was hard core guy by the name of 'Ted Sokolowski' that made his own metal dies to cut spoons from Brass.
They were known as LIL JOE spoons.
I only have a few left as ... well part of a collection.
Unfortunately I don't have any of the more popular colors left (Red, and Whites).
This guy was pretty innovative with the color patterns for the time.
I once tried to find out where the dies went, but they disappeared when he passed away.
They were great on Walleyes, and Pike would try to smack these things really hard.
Unique action on the drop and on the retrieve.

It worked 20 years ago.
Don't know if I'd use it again.
But it did produce.
