Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Crankbaits

Lures, hardbaits, what ever you call them.

The attraction is hard to resist.
I can spend an hour looking at dozens and dozens, imagining an application where I might use a certain one to catch a fish.
A friend of mine has had some luck trolling deep diving lures in places where I would normally troll at 2 to 5 feet deep in mountain lakes for Rainbows and Browns.
After talking to him, I had to have a new deep diving plug, so I stopped by the local fishing store.

After much thought, I picked up this one.

Does anybody know what a “Slash bait” is ?
IS there any reason I can’t troll this thing at 1.5 to 2 MPH ?

Old reliable is a jointed Repala, J-5, 7, 9 or 11 in Silver (shown) or trout colors.

So what do you use, what do you catch with it, and if it’s on sale, can you resist buying another one, even though your tackle box is full of them ?
