My "go to" on lakes/rivers that have walleye and bass is the simple worm harness ...3 way rig  (3 way swivels). May need some weights over one ounce trolling deeper water . At Quinte we have caught eyes, bass ,channel cats . perch & huge drum on those things !   When we went for pike , I liked using the J-11 & J-13 Raps . They were great on the shallow bays near the weed beds . They would run about 5 feet deep unless some weight was added , and the occasional bass would take them .

I've fished it years ago we used to use small spinner rigs called little Joe's topped with a worm or if trolling a twister tail on it and a small splitshot 18" above it.works good in flowing water if shore fishing also.also black and silver Wally divers cast and retrieve or slow trolled 1.2-1.4

#5 mepps black fury. Works everywhere I have ever fished it. If you wanna improve it, take the treble hook off and replace it with a single hook, then Texas rig a black twister tail on it to make it weedless. 

Also a white big O. 

Those are my go to lures

Oh oh oh!  I just had to chime in.  When you get swivels, make sure to spend a little extra and get BALLBEARING swivels.  Especially since Mepps spinners are on the must-have list. 

This will stop the frustration of line twist like nothing else!

...ok, now I'm happy.

All you need Lucky Strike victor spoon $2.99 for 2 with a worm and a couple split shots will catch everything

X2 a Victor spinner & worm will catch everything. 2 in a package Plus won't brake the bank:D sometime i'll put a stinger on it.

 I fished Love Sick near the dam and caught Walleye with a plain old Jig & worm.

Fishing vest with lots of pockets, to put most  of these item, so you just grab your vest  and go. check kijiji for deals.

For lures- Spoon and jigheads of different weight and grubs of different size and colors are my best lures.  some crankbait are also useful , some floats and some that dives.
