Everyone mentions Renosky lures; if you guys dont mind what kinds are you running off of downriggers and divers? I visited their website and of course there are quite a few. I see that Cabelas doesn't carry them either. Any recommendations on where to get them? thanks.

I buy mine at Dicks or Gander mountain.
They are also refered to as polish pirates.
They are shallow divers, small lip, 1 piece stick baits.
Most people remove the front treble hook to get better swim action.
I do too, but I don't know if it really does any thing except make it easy to get them out of the net. You will rarely see a walleye with the front hook in it's mouth.
My best colors black back, blue center and pink bottom
or black back, purple center, pink bottom.

The guys at Brocton have been using rainbow color

I hear alot about the Clown Renosky. Any luck with them? I think it looks like smelt.

I don't own one, but I agree it probably does look like a smelt and I know walleye love smelt.
I mostly stick to worm harness's and only play with stick baits when fish are hard to come by and I get desperate or forget my crawlers or run out.

Sticks also work good when the silver bass or perch are pecking your night crawlers off faster than you can get em in the lake.

Were you able to get out over the weekend? Wind, Rain, Large waves and Whitecaps what a good weekend? Summer is dwindling down. This is one of the worst summers that I can remember.
