Best lures for still/calm water?

As ive only every fished rivers was wondering if there was a huge difference between different types on calm water as apposed to still water. i.e lakes

Most of your river lures will work just as well.

Surface lures and glide baits (or any lures with subtle actions affected by the flow of a river) will tend to work better on stillwaters.

Thats good news, No other spending needed. Also does size matter?

i had a little jack take my orange marker float the weekend followed it right in to the edge

If I had to pick 1 lure to walk around a stillwater with and still feel confident in catching it would be a storm jointed thunderstick in silver scale. If I could take four more they would be the same again in firetiger, another storm lure called a suspending thunderstick for when that fish follows but stops in the marging (twitch that puppy in front of it's face ;) ). A spring dawg in any colour which is a smaller version of a bulldawg and can be fished on the average lure set up and finally, for the surface, an ozark woodchopper in firetiger.

i dont bother with lures on still waters i only had a jack pike follow the lure but dident take it,
so i used dead bait on a night that i done with my m8 15 pike between us biggest 12lb smallest 6lb

for me the only lures are rattlin rapala's and storm kickin minnow(brilliant lure)

[mr_penetrator]

Two lures? you've missed out on a shed load of pike.

[commonhunter86]

i try plenty of lures they are the two that always stand out and catch alot better than the others i have

[mr_penetrator]

See your point, sorry blossom, didn't read like that. I do like a firetiger rattlin' rapala on a fast retrieve on the rivers
