This question gets asked yearly and I always look forward to the replies.
I suppose fishing with a pro would be great. If I had to pick one I guess I'd go with Jake Whitaker because he's semi-local.
The folks I want to fish with include:
1. @A-Jay I want to go catch Small mouth at the mythical Lake Menderchunk.
2. @Catt ... Toledo Bend at night using Rebel Ringworms!
3. @WRB.. Clear Lake and watching a big bass guy!
4. @Dwight Hottle... To learn the jerkbait and catch some Smallmouth.
5. @Teal... To fish the Swamps of allover Eastern North Carolina!
The above folks have freely shared so much information with this site it's unreal. They are great fisherman but more than that they are good people.
For me I have to be intrigued by the look of the bait to consider trying it. I can count on one hand the "new" baits I have tried on the last several years.
I have fed the bait monkey many times in life and will again.
These are the questions I ask myself when considering some new.
1. Will this work any better than what I'm doing?
2. Will I give it an honest go?
3. Will it fish the way I want to fish?
4. Is there a real possibility that it will end up in the tackle room like many before.
5. Will I enjoy fishing this?
If I do try something new and it works for me then I will buy a metric ton.
No particular order:
1. Zoom magnum finesse: Black or Redbug.
2. Zoom Big Dead Ringer: Black or Red Shad.
3. Zoom 4" Dead Ringer(on a shakeyhead): Watermelon, Cherry Seed, and Black.
4. Zoom finesse worm: White Ice? During the Shad spawn.
5. Rebel Ringworm: a few colors.
