What are your top 5 producing crankbaits on the Winnebago system( 'Bago, Poygan, Butte des Morts, Winneconie, Wolf River). I say shad raps, reef runners, thundersticks, hot-n-tots, and nils masters. Colors would be shad, pearl, purple, firetiger, and pearch.
# 1 Thunderstick Jrs
# 2 Shad Raps
# 3 Tail Dancers
# 4 Countdown Rapalas
# 5 Deep Diving Salmo Minnows
Colors vary, but usually blue to natural minnow colors work well for me. Some days brown is the hot color. You never know for sure but thats fishing !

All time favorites: Shad Rap / Walley Divers.
Last year the Thundersticks produced more fish for me.
This year I am am going to try working the Reefrunners a bit more, and the new Renosky's.
Colors: gold/black, silver/black, natural perch, tenn. shad, and last year the reds where really good. Baits with orange bellies did well on some days.
My partner and I tend to 'wash' alot of lures on a day on the Winnebago system.
