What is your favorite redfish and snook lure?

ShoNuffNoah · April 2017

I wanted to take a poll of everyones favorite redfish and snook lure? I am fishing NSB to Oak Hill, Mostly mangrove flats with some oyster beds.
I have been using some saltwater redfish assassins with decent success but looking to expand my arsenal.
Any feedback is appreciated

I've found most anything works if you put it in the right spot and present it correctly.. That usually plays a bigger role than color or brand of lure.. Usually..

I've been throwing the egret wedgetail mullet lately and its a great bait that puts off a real nice vibration.. And of course you can't go wrong with gulp which will work on virtually anything you encounter inshore.. Savage shrimp are also another good one to have in your arsenal.. As well as z man products, extremely durable.. I recently picked up some z man swimmerz and they have a killer tail kick on account of the softer material allowing more movement.. Lots of good baits out there and most of them work just fine..

For me it's bend back fly, shrimp fly. Or Zoom salty super fluke, or Doa shrimp. The fluke on un weighted 4/0 worm hook. When the hook tears off the head, I bite the end off and put it on a Jig. This way I get double use out of them. The only thing I have'nt caught with above, is a Black drum. Although I did get a small black on a brown bend back fly once. I almost never use plugs. Plugs are hard on fish, hands, nets, and cost way to much. If you break a good Snook off with a plug, all I think about is it starving to death slowly with mouth full of hooks. I use white, Smoken Shad, Golden Brem, and Rainbow Shad on the Fluke. Root bear, clear, clear gold flake on the Doa Shrimp.

Same here.

But when I can't find any, Gulp! Shrimp for reds and any good dog-walking topwater for Snook.

Another vote for Cals.

I'm no super star but Cals and Gold Spoon.

I turned away from gulp shrimp forever I never thought they would be worth the cost. Getting frustrated I finally tried them and I would have to say that gulp shrimp with a circle hook works great, the grand slam this past weekend and always in the corner of the mouth. After years and years of buying plastic after plastic, I could go out now with gulp shrimp and a Zara puppy and that's it.

Not always the most productive, but sometimes the most...
and always the most fun to fish:

Zoom Fluke.

When I was younger it was 52m11 and Johnny rattler in red head. Now I throw skitterwalks and 12 fathom 6" slamR jerk baits.

Live baits a pinfish on a knocker rig drifting behind the breakers. Snook lure red head any white jig DOA baitbuster. Reds Zara spook jr in trout color

mogantamers · May 2017

Doa shrimp 1/4 for me

the_stalker · May 2017

gulp crabs for reds and yellow Mavericks for Snook

The DOA CAL is pretty good, but it could be better, It has a good profile and casts like a bullet. However, the tail action on the lure is poor. The transition area between the main body and the tail end is too thick. You have to reel the lure pretty fast to get the side-to-side tail action needed. Reel the lure slowly next to the boat and you will see the tail doesn't move. When I used them, I trimmed off some of the transition area and the tail movement improved dramatically.

Zman minnowz, Vudu shrimp and Zara spooks are all I fish. If they aren't hitting those they ain't eating. (For fishing the backcountry anyway, passes and deeper water are a different story)
