I was just wondering what kind of suckers and type of presentation you guys prefer? I have been having good luck with taking a whole sucker and cutting off small pieces the size of a dime. Never tried the whole little suckers. Am going to try to experiment next time out with a strip on a plain trebel hook.

any sucker will do , the fresher the better , i like using tubes , but a treble with sucker meat and some small split shots will work also , spawn sacs are also awesome to use at green mountain

If fishing it on tubes dont make it longer then the tenticles of your tube and only about a half inch wide.

I prefer larger suckers. thicker skin, larger scales, seem to hold the jig better. Problem is i'm having a hard time finding them? Sportsmans here is loveland only had the very small ones last time I checked.

I buy 4-6 inch frozen suckers. I don't have any luck with the head or the tail so those are out. So you end up with a headless, tail less, frozen sucker that looks like a hotdog. Just chop it into 1/4-1/2 inch coins. Stick it on the hook through the scales and out the scales on the other side. Unless chomped on by a mac I have never lost bait. I got some BIG (and I mean big) tubes I want to try the next time I go out and I think I'll tip them with a whole small sucker. But I might mangle it a little beforehooking it on.

Golden Gate Ponds (kriley and slough) are full of suckers. Go up there, set up about 10 yards from the dam valve (the concrete round thingy) in about 8 FOW with a small yellow/shiny teardrop tipped with half a mealworm and catch them yourself. YOu get to go out and do a little ice fishing and it beats buying those old suckers at the store for $4.79 a package.

Sportsmans in Thornton always has the big ones, but I've gone to using the smaller 4-6" ones, easier to get the hook through the scales and as long as you get it hooked in a good cunk of skin it stays on pretty well, same piece caght a 28" pike and a 19" laker on monday, works for me.
