Alexey Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Is there a freshwater lure that has similar castability (distance) and catchability as SP and Mag Darter, but for fresh water (pike, pickerel, bass)? Something that has the kind of universal reputation that mandates every fisherman to have one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1234 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Sp and mag darter still work in the sweet water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexey Posted January 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 I was thinking of something similar in shape and action, but smaller than the smallest sp and darter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollincoal Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 If you want to try a mini darter that noticeably darts you might want to try a Castana.

jesgord Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Yo Zuri makes a freshwater crystal minnow in 3.5" and just under 4-3/8" There is also the Bomber B15A Long A which comes in at 4.5. There are also a bunch of smaller Rebel minnows. As for the mag darter, they do make a 4-1/8" version. How about a loaded 4" Redfin?

Mack26 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Look at the Ima Flit or a Lucky Craft Flash Minnow or Pointer are two of my favorites. If had a choice between the two, the Flit would get the nod. The gold flash and brown flash are deadly on bronze backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricDice Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 In freshwater free of vegetation, particularly moving water, x raps work well if you’re just looking for a swimming lure type offering. But in my experience, all swimming plugs are more easily clumped with grass & weeds compared to something like a jig & plastic or a weedless hook with worm. In a weedy lake, I would think more low & slow and weedless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldclam Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Last year I was throwing a 5in magdarter in a local lake. I was just testing out a new 9ft surf rod I built, well I caught 2 pickerel a largemouth and a crappie on it. On a mackerel pattern no less.

ThrowinPlugs Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 The small mag darters and SP I could see killing in freshwater, but I would never use them in weedy or grassy ponds. Deeper lakes, absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
