Gulp minnow heads are what I use on spoons and jigging raps in the rare occasion I’m not using live minnow heads. Dont sleep on waxies for panfish though.
The past two years, I’ve tipped my spoons with Maki plastics. My two favorites have been the Minno Head and the Maki. I typically take the hook off the spoon so I can thread the plastic over the shank, then stick it back on the spoon. I’ve outfished my buddies on walleyes, perch, bass, whitefish…. until January when those fish get WAY pickier. Then it’s back to the real deal for me.
