plastics on the rainy?

have not fished plastics much on the river, what do you guys that fish them use the most? paddle tails twisters or what? And what colors seem to do the best? I have mostly used frozen shiners or minnows

If we are just fishing the Minnesota side we usually bring live bait. If we are doing both on the lake or the river it’s 100% b fish n products. Not the most durable things but they flat out catch fish. One nice thing about the river vs a lake is it requires way less effort to work the bait, the current pretty much does everything for you.

are you talking about a moxxy not sure on the spelling!!! i have a bunch of this stuff just dont try it enough do you cast them or jig them

We pretty much exclusively use plastics. Some years we get a few bags of frozen shiners but most years is 100 percent plastics.
Moxies, pulser, eye candy, kietech is just a handful i use. I throw paddle tails and twist tails. If not I’m throwing blades and lip less. Last year I lost my last large size lip less clacking rap, that one caught more fish then any others.

As for colors. I have 3 big tubs of plastics in my boat and fly through colors. But I always go to orange, chartreuse, fire cracker, white, pearl, black and so on. Some days are different then others and I keep alot of plastics in my boat.
Some days we are throwing big ole mega drafts even. And some days are a 3 inch twister tail.
