"Lures of the Month" from ABQ Sportfishing and Bob "Lucky" Lechel:
ABQ's picks are the Mack's Lure Wally Pop tipped with a pumkin Gulp Nightcrawler for the walleye and the Zipper 4" Worm in Green Weenie for those larger more discriminating bass.
Lucky's choice: Lucky Craft Flat CB DR, Fall Craw pattern, ˝ oz, 2.5”: -One of my favorite cranks during the summer, especially at Navajo. Dives 6-8 ft and has a large deep rattle with # 4 quality hooks. Moderate vibration, but great “wandering” characteristic that really calls them in.
