I'm getting into crankbait fishing and i need to know when to use a lipless crank rather than a regular crank.
What time of the year is the best, what kind of conditions, where to fish, how to fish. Everything i need to know.
Soft Plastic: Yum and Berkley
Hard Baits: Rapala
Jigs: Outkast
Spinners: Booyah
Frogs: Livetarget but for the price Booyah
Line: Power Pro
Rod: Fenwick
Reels: Pflueger but i am getting a lew's
Dean Rojas throws frogs everywhere not just in lily pads but under laydowns and in open water pretty much anywhere. I notice you have better hooks up fishing a frog in open water.
And yes there are lily pads in the midwest.
i would use a small weight on the juice worm because the havoc line take forever to sink. Maybe a 1/16 or a 1/8 depending on how fast you want it to sink.
I would also try a spinnerbait and fish it along the weed edge. If there is a weed edge where you fish. Throw a fluke or a jig near and around the fallen trees and let it sink to the bottom and maybe work the fluke as a spook on top. You might lose some jigs but it is just an idea. Hope this helps
Dinger all the way, i prefer the action if rigged right the head and tail move back and forth on a weightless Texas. It is way more durable i have caught 30 in pike on a dinger and i could still use it. While the senko would tear after 1 dink. I mean really why would you pay more for something you can only caught 1-2 fish on? It is a better bang for your buck.
Senko are good don't get me wrong but it is to expensive. If you get more out of a pack and if was less expensive i would buy them more. But for now i'm sticking with my good old dingers.
One last tip, don't use to big of a bait, because you don't want it to over power the blade. So maybe play around with different sizes and types of bait.
I have a 7' 4" MH Abu Garcia Vendetta it a cheap rod, only about 79.99. If money is not an option i would get a better frog rod like the powell Frog & Toad rod.
You can fish it in all water clarities. In clear water it can act like a perch, many time in clear water bluegills have a tint of chartreuse in their fin. In stained the fish can see it which is keys. So maybe thats why.
