What do you recommend for Lake Mead?

I would probably use the same thing I use at Lake powell. Spinner baits for bass in white, white/chartreuse, and chartreuse. In plastics try a texas rigged worm (I prefer pumkinseed color), jig a grub chartreuse and white are both great colors. Cranks, try something that resembles other fish such as perch colors or similar.

Where do you folks purchase your lures? Online or locally?

Thanks. I got some rigs from BPS on line. The $32 rig is HUGE, didn't this it was that big. The description did say 7-1/2" baits and the 12/0 hook on the trailer bait.

Looks like a smaller rig will be the way to go.
May have to raffle the big rigs at the NSC meeting.

Hello iamtheesmf,

It will work 2oz weight is ok I have used 6 inch teasers and a 8 inch trailer. If you want down size the teasers and uses them for back up trailer baits.

Remember the trout that NDOW release are between 9 and 11 inches long.

Remember In Nevada you can only have two baits with hooks!!!!! Good Luck!!!

What size line should I use. The setup I have now is 7' med/heavy with a 2/0 baitcaster. It's the Bill Dance Catfish rig from BPS that I normally string with 50# braid.

Your set up should work I have a line counter 27 with 65 lb braid and a 7'6 rod. Other set up is 7 ft cat fish rod med heavy with 30 lb mono. I have had no problems with either. Now get out there and try it and let us know your results.
