  1. senile1's post in Wipers and white bass was marked as the answer   
    I fish for whites and wipers on occasion, especially when I take family out on the boat.  There is nothing like putting a kid on a group of feeding whites when almost every cast brings in a fish.
     
     
    I use Southern Pro Triple Tip white with chartreuse tail grubs for both crappie and whites.  I have also had some big days with bucktail jigs.  I don't use these as much as spoons but I probably should.
     
    Wizard Custom Tackle 1/8th oz spoons in silver and/or white are deadly when you find white bass.  They have other colors that work as well but these two are my workhorses.  These will also catch wipers but bigger spoons are better to draw in larger fish.
     
    I have loaded the boat a few times with 2 and 3 lb whites using Wizard Custom Tackle 1/2 and 3/4 oz double-header spoons in white color.  This is typically a late spring, summer, and early fall bait but works especially well for me when whites are feeding aggressively in the upper 10 to 15 feet of the water column.  These will also catch bigger wipers.
     
    Trolling the deepest running Shad Rap can also locate and catch fish.  Bigger wipers will go for this as well.
     
    For large hybrids gathered on the bottom, my brother-in-law in Arkansas uses a spoon similar in color and shape to the War Eagle shown below in sizes up to 1 1/2 oz jigged above them.  When they bite he has caught larger fish in the 5 to 14 lb range with these.  I don't see any War Eagles this large online, but he gave me a custom spoon that looks similar to this in 1 1/2 oz but I have yet to use it.  BassPro makes a RealImage Jigging Spoon that looks like it might work in this situation also.
