  1. Black/Blue Swim Jig - matching Rage Menace Keitech 3.8” Swing Impact-1/4 oz jig head Senko Black/Blue flake Black/Blue Rage Space Monkey-Rage rigged Strike King The Deal Baby Z Too-1/8 oz Ned head
  2. The Space Monkey and a keel weighted hook are deadly. The way it flutters on the fall, it gets crushed.
  3. Rage Tail Space Monkey, Texas rigged with a keel weighted hook. Catches fish for me anywhere. It's so versatile.
  4. Spot-on for me as well @Catt. Plain green pumpkin doesn't work well for me. Use green pumpkin with blue or green pumpkin with purple and they both produce.
  5. If you were limited to five soft plastic baits to fish for smallmouth and largemouth bass year-round, what five would you choose? I would choose: Yamamoto 5" Senko Strike King Caffeine Shad Strike King Rage Tail Menace Strike King Rage Tail Space Monkey Strike King Rage Tail Craw
  6. Swim jig with a Rage Tail Menace Football jig with a Zoom Super Chunk Zoom Super Fluke on an EWG Wacky rigged senko
  7. Use both interchangeably with no difference in hook up percentage. Love these hooks for wacky rigs.
  8. My Grandpa and Bill Dance inspired me to fish. No one will ever top either of them in my world. As I've gotten older, others have inspired me at different times for different reasons. KVD, Gerald Swindle, Greg Hackney and Jacob Wheeler.
  9. Welcome to the Bass Resource community!
  10. 5" Yamamoto Senko, Rage Tail Space Monkey Keitech Swing Impact Fat 3.8" Rage Tail Menace Yamamoto Fat Ika BPS River Bug Rage Tail Craw
  11. I have Merrells as well and really like them.
  12. 5" Senko Rage Tail Space Monkey Fat Ika Keitech Swing Impact Fat Rage Tail Craw 6'6" MHF Spinning 7' MHF Baitcasting
  13. Rage Tail Space Monkey on a keel weighted hook.
  14. Bass Pro Toyota Strike King
  15. The latter, imo. The biggest factors are technique and confidence. Black with blue flake is the same thing for me @Catt Every once in a while, I've seen color matter. In one private body of water I fish, the color does seem to matter. That color, cinnamon purple.
  16. I was given a cinnamon purple to try on a pond with a sandy bottom as it blends in. Tried it and it has been successful for me in those waters ever since. Watermelon/Red has always served me well for the same reason in grassy waters.
  17. I carry three colors and granted I fish mostly clear to stained waters. I carry black with blue (confidence color), Watermelon with Red flake (throw it in grassy waters) and cinnamon with purple flake (sandy bottom).
  18. In no particular order: Keitech Swing Impact Fat 3.8" Yamamoto 5" Senko Yamamoto Fat Ika Rage Tail Space Monkey Rage Tail Menace Rage Tail Craw BPS River Bug Zoom Salty Pro Chunk Zoom Trick Worm
  19. Baitcast: Daiwa Fuego Spinning: Daiwa Fuego
  20. Have sworn by it since I started fishing with my grandpa as a kid. He swore by it and it has never let me down.
  21. If you're on a budget, I know plenty of people that have fished the Abu Garcia Black Max hard, are happy and get a few seasons out of them. They're about $50 bucks. As others have said fixing it just might not be worth it.
  22. I keep track of air temp, skies, time of day, water clarity, lure used and approximate fish size on an Excel spreadsheet. It really has helped throughout the years.
  23. My Grandfather's love of the outdoors and fishing inspired me in my youth, along with spending every Saturday morning watching Bill Dance. Spent a few years away from fishing and my son being born re-ignited the passion. The quality time we spend together doing something that we love and are passionate about is priceless. Great thread @MacJig!
  24. In cold water I use a Seibert's Swim Jig or a SK Bitsy Bug with a Rage Tail Menace or a Zoom Chunk.
