Everyone has their opinion, which is why i hate asking what is "best" lol because everyone has their "best" lure. I love to see what other fisherman use as their go-to lures. its really cool to see everyone mentioning a little bit different lure, and they all work. It proves that a lot of lures work for these fun fighting fish.

thanks for all the info you guys have provided so far! makes a great read for a beginner fisherman who wants to have some fun with these fish.
