Odd that no one mentioned the good ol' polar bear jig. A 1/2 oz. or bigger head with white whitetail deer hair for a body.(4 to 6 inch tail) You can add a stinger hook in the tail. Jigged or trolled.

Ok...I'm gonna throw it out there.

I love this thread as I try to go for lakers when I fish BUT I fish maybe twice a year but i'm working toward changing that in a big way immediately.

My problem is I hear these names of these lures but don't know what they look like....yes...go to town guys...flame away! LOL

If it's not an inconvenience, if you posted a pic somehow, I would be most grateful!!

Laker lures in order of preference (and i have probably caught well over a thousand, many many many 30 plus pounds

1) Rhys Davis herring teaser heads with herring. Inject extra herring oil into herring. Run downriggers at bottom of wear you see baitfish

2) Large #4 LT Five of Diamonds. Run it at least 15 feet behind downrigger ball at top of where you are seeing baitfish. Tie a piece of shoelace to eye of the hook and soak it in herring oil

3) Downrigger ball > 8 feet > big salmon flasher > 10 feet > 3/4 Kamlooper orange and black with shoelace fish in center of baitfish

4) Do drifts over targests jigging buzz bombs at the samer depth where you see the fish

Troll at 5.5 but lots of turns so speed is up and down

Probably I catch 60 percent with first rigs. i use the others if i cant get herring or on multi day trips after herring gets too funky. Use big herring and big hooks. Lakers are piggies.

Friend in Ontario swears by bottom bouncing. The trick is it stirs up mud and acts as an attractor.

When I do that in the BC ocean chuck... I fight BC till I loose and replace the cable and ball.

For jigging white tube jig 4-5" with a stinger.

Trolling....

Williams Wabler and whitefish.

Lucky Strike Half Wave

Manistee Silver or Yellow with red dots

Realistically any flashy spoon should do the trick???

Don't know why guys are laughing out load at touching bottom with downrigger balls. Quality downriggers like Scotty have a brake that if snagged will allow line out.
I don't like to drag bottom but some fishing needs you to be close to bottom. Depending on your bottom I wouldn't suggest it but its not a big deal on rock or gravel..... Really .... Common practice on the coast.
