Hardwares in winter...

I got an early gift of each. Madflash storm hot n' tots. wally diver pack of 3. and rapala clackin raps. Are these versatile lures? I've caught pike on hot n' tots before but haven't tried CC Wally Divers yet. Are they any good? How bout in winters?

You may want to confer this with Rain-Bow, I know he has been catching trout on some hot n' tot looking cranks in his photos. The Raps and Hot n' Tots will work for bass too.

yep saw that. thanks. I won't be targeting trout though. i would like to see if the wally divers will work on pike.

Thought you were talking in general. Good luck with those pike.

Lipless crank baits aka(rapala clanckin rap) can catch almost every species in fresh water lakes I have personally caught Muskie,Pike, lm and sm bass and walleye on lipless cranks. I havnt used the clackin rap before but the bait style is as versitile a lure as you can find.

The Rapala clackin' Rap looks very simliar to a lure I throw first when I'm in a new body of water. Mine is blue and silver and it's caught everything. Then again, pike eat anything h34r:
