	I think my must haves are not lures at all but extra spools. I have to have a couple spare spools of line for my reels. That gives me 4, 6, 8 and 10lb test to pick from. I'm pretty high on Gamma line. Good stuff. Oh, and a tie fast tool. Yea I know I sound like a broken record. Just try it, the gryp knot is second to none. 6 wraps with 4 and 6.........5 wraps with 8 and 10............3 wraps with 60 and 80

	Wow nice to hear of someone else who likes lighter line. I haven't gone above 10# test in years and was wondering myself if this would be enough for Q.

	Another vote for the Yo- Zuri crystal minnow.I like the 5 1/4 suspending or sinking .I have caught nice walleyes,northerns and small mouths with them and they are strong well made lures with very good hooks that can take a beating.

Hey Frozen Toes welcome aboard as Old Salt would say, I have always been a little nervous about throwing the blaze orange stuff in clear water. But with the broke back floater it just might work pretty well. Do you twitch it or just reel? I'm almost afraid to ask, but is there a story you care to share as to your posting name?
