Hello Fishermen and Lady Anglers; I' m primarily a salt water fisherman with a sprinkling of fresh water bass fishing thrown in for good measure. I've been at it in the Tampa Bay area for more than 60 years ( boy seeing that in print makes me feel ancient ) and I'm still learning. I already posted a query on this forum about Hard Bodied Bass lures and would like to thank all those who replied. I'm still gathering info on the most popular Bass lures and when I compile all the answers I'll post here with the results. Thanks for having me on board. Capt. Jim P

Thanks for the welcome and the info about the Rattle Trap. I have used the Rattle Trap in saltwater and at times it's dynamite for Speckled Trout. I have caught some of my biggest Trout ever on it. I think it is interesting how many of the old standard lures work equally well in fresh and salt water. Just a curiosity question, What do you do for a living and how often do you get out fishing ?

I'm a saltwater fisherman from Tampa Florida but I do venture out for Freshwater Bass from time to time, and I need some input concerning Hard bodied Bass lures. I use plastic worms when Bass fishing but would like to know what are the favorite Hard Bodied Bass lures in your neck of the woods? Please be specific, Brand names, sizes and colors. Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance Capt. Jim P
