I judge every lure and every presentation by how big fish react to it. I hope that doesn't make me some sort of snob. The bigger fish are just more of a challenge is all I guess.

As per Chiefs post earlier in this thread..........you are quite likely to have faster action and catch more "eater" size walleyes in 15' from July onward. Personally, I find the big boys are quite a bit deeper for the most part.

So do cranks with rattles catch lots of fish? Yup.........but how many really big ones? The same with firetiger vs. natural. In my book (and I could be wrong) if you want to catch lots of mediums throw a smallish rattling firetiger crankbait. Want the big boys? Throw a big quiet perch or a trout. But like I said, I could be wrong.....and in fact there will be times my choice is the wrong choice given the conditions.

I will add one caveat.........I love firetiger for big northerns [smiley=thumbup.gif]
