You could also try some top water lures, there are a lot of different kinds, for many different purposes but the must universal is the popper.

My Minimalist must have list... in no particular order. A floating rapala. Maybe a jointed one.

a crank bait or two... personally, I am a rebel fan... if you can find an old deep wee r, you are set...

a couple of panther martin spinners, a mepps comet, Aglia and Aglia long.

A buzzbait.

A Johnson silver minnow. A daredevel. (Not an imitation) a mepps Cyclops and a little CLEO.

A headon torpedo, a jitterbug, a hula popper and a plastic frog. A couple poppers and a deerhair popper

Plastic Worms, worm weights and worm hooks... (read an article on how to use them)

Then... go forth and multiply...

A deerhair popper? I know fly guys use them... would a spinning rod work for them?

Good Tips! :D

Thanks to all of you for the suggestions!  :mrgreen:

 

I stopped by the dollar store and picked up a few things, and also found more cool old stuff! beer opener spoon, budwiser bullet, 3 really old frogs, and maybe 20 mepps spinners! LOL
