Something i want to add to what i said earlier, is that if the pond has any moss cover or thick growth, like the one i have been fishing lately, you might want to rig a watermelon/ black flake senko weedless and just work it a lot like a jerkbait over the top of moss and through pockets. It works GREAT for me!!!

Ya, i tried it, and it was terrible. All it is, is a run-around from one thing to another trying to get you to sign up for this and that and get you to spend m oney here and there. I didnt even finish it because i was tired of saying no to the same offers again and again. Plus you have to sign up for things or you dont get them and most of them do want money so.... >

Well all for except for one person this blade sounds as though it is terrible!!! :-?

In my opinion the muddier the water, the wider the wobble you want. Also in clearer water use cranks that look more like baitfish, crawdads, etc. In muddy water either use black/chartreuse back, very bright, or dark. Not much else i can add. Hope this helps.

I fish a small pond that is only about 8 ft deep. The only time that i have had success now in the summer is with a fairly large spinnerbait by mann's. It is white orange and chartreuse, with two colorado blades. Now though the fish are not hitting it as well so i am going to change up the colors and see what happens.

Well snagmaster... 1. I'm a;ways with them when they fish. 2. SE Missouri 3. Fished times from 4 pm to after dark 4. boat 5. Max: Not positive probably not deeper than 15-20 Average: Not sure at some points its very shallow, and in the middle it is pretty deep... So cant really tell you. 6. There are weeds nearly completely surrounding it and they are weeds that have underwater roots, but are above the water surface about a foot, and are very thick in most parts... difficult to cast into from what ive seen. 7. It is very old i am not sure exactly but it is old enough that it should have good bass in it.

Well, there is no way that i can fish it with a larger bait, or a spinner, and absoloutely no way to throw a crank, because a treble hook would be disasterous. So this is a real set back...

Thanks I appreciate all of the advice.

Try different lures, different retrieves, and different spots, like cover, points, and drop offs. But most importantly... Keep trying, dont give up!!!

Like hunt said... trailer hook.

Thanks guys i am sure all of this will help. In fact a chartreuse/ black back will be my next purchase, then probably the others. I am new to crank baits and just thought i would ask you guys. 8-)

I always fish a senko weightless because from what i have heard there is no other way. Apparently the slightest weight can alter the movement. Although i have heard something about putting a piece of a nail in the tail of it for added weight, but you would have to ask someone else about that...

Have you ever changed up the color patterns on the same type of lure, and if you have does it help?

Well these bass were all about... a pound, and apparently there have been a couple 4.5 pounders caught out of it but i have not seen it...

I was just wondering how do you fish a spoon. I mean do you use trailers or what? And how do you retrieve a spoon (what are your techniques)? O and something else... what type of vegetation, or cover should they be thrown into, if any?

Thanks that is what i was wanting to know.

I just purchased a couple of these but have yet to get a chance to try them out... So hopefully your right!!!

Thanks guys i heard it was a very good bait and i was just wondering about your opinions on it. Thanks again.

Thanks guys i appreciate the help

Now I am fairly new to fishing and was just wondering how you guys fish these spoons... With trailers, your styles of retrieve, etc. :-?

I was wondering what is your personal favorite colors of baby brush hogs, and for what clarity of water do you use them?

Just wondering what is you guys' favorite type of spoon? (And i dont mean to eat with either!!!) ;D

I direct tie 99% of the time!!!

Believe it or not i have had success in the hot part of the day on a large spinner bait with 2 large colorado blades. But my second choice would have to be a senko

I just fished a similair pond like this but i think it was worse as far as vegetation goes. I found that i had more success throwing senkos and baby bush hogs weedless and weightless than anything...
