Someone gave me a tackle box with assorted gear in it recently and some of it appeared old.
The bottom two are a Hot N' Tot Thin Fin and a Short Wart. The top three I have no idea.
And I have no idea how effective any of these lures are so any advice would be great thanks.
Going to have a day to fish near Milan, Italy in early-mid May but I don't know the first thing about bass fishing in Italy. Was hoping someone could point me toward a local guide or fisherman who might be willing to guide? Might be at Lago Como at some point, could make it to Lago Maggiore as well.
I fish a lot of lipless cranks and in the 5/8 to 1 oz size and the hooks they come with are usually small and chromed so I switch them out for one size larger owner trebles. If a bass breathes on it, I usually have them.
Before I lost it I caught about 50 bass on the exact same lure as you without it looking that beat up. Can I ask what the primary forage of the bass is in your lakes? It looks like they don't spend a lot of time with crayfish in their mouths if they can scratch up a bait that bad on 9 fish. I see you also replace your trebles =).
Thanks for the pics, I might have to pick up all 3, these remind me of the Luckycraft lures similarly named that I'm not willing to pay for. My shopping cart groweth.
I will speed my retrieve up, I had been really slowing it down recently scared that they wouldn't chase. Regarding natural/clear colored cranks, I think I need to invest in a few today.
I hadn't considered running crayfish color cranks into the bottom, I'm going to give that a try.
Your dropshot advice is absolutey correct, on my last trip (President's day) it's the only thing that produced.
