big pike fishing lures Lazy you cant beat the thump of a spinner or the flash of a spoon The 5 must-have lures for

The Ark Its a great move from Daiwa and one that really fills a gap in off-the-shelf reels

3" Minnow - Gizzard Shad & Ghost Shad The first must have soft plastic lure is the 3" Minnow on a ned head, Damiki rig, or other vertical presentation heads like the image below

Ideal for baiting up nightcrawlers and minnows for walleye and panfish, and for rigging crabs, shrimp and blood worms for surf and bay fishing

End note: I have to say that the Orvis Mirage LT also American made, and very much a bad-ass reel that would rate favorably against these reels is also worth considering, but it costs $429, and barely misses the price cut
