The list for me is pretty big, but here's a few.
1) MI Stinger Spoons 3.25-5.50". Great trolling flutter spoon that works for any predatory species. The shape and thickness of the spoons give them an appealing movement at any speed from 1.0-5.0 mph which covers pretty much every predator in the Great Lakes. They also come in just about every color, pattern, and finish imaginable plus UV and or glow options.
2) Moonshine Spoons 3.50-6.00". One of my favorite spoons for Lake Trout that also works great for just about every species I've fished for with them. Every spoon this company makes incorporates unique glow patterns on the front and either a silver or double glow back. Works great when fishing in overcast conditions or deep water 70-200'+ down.
3) Flatfish Plugs. One of my most reliable plugs/Crankbaits in any size from 1-6". You can fish these at any speed but they have the best action when casted or trolled in the 0.5-2.0 mph range. Great Laker plug to B-B with especially using leadcore or copper. I've also caught Browns and Steelhead with it too. I'd imagine it would work great for Bass if they were suspended in open water or on the bottom in mid-depth water.
4) CP Swings. Just about any inline spinner is a go to for me when fishing for stream Trout and Bass, but this one takes the cake for producing the most fish for me over the years. As simple as it is, being a single willow blade above five golden beads, it out produces any other inline spinner I've used. My only complaints are that the wire body bends easily when it hits something and the hooks are a bit fragile (I usually change them), but they still hold up to big Trout and Steelhead for me.
5) Rebel Crawfish. An old classic for me, being the first crankbait I ever used. Works for everything from Bass and Trout to Sunfish and Perch. Fish seem to hit it regardless of size, I've even caught a 4" Smallie on a 3" lure! Can be fished as deep as you want by simply adjusting your retrieve rate.
