yeah i read an article called "give night bass the jitters" all about jitterbug fishin at night. def. one of the best times to fish a topwater.

yeah those things kick some i was gonna suggest any rapala in bluegill pattern (particularly the DT series....theyre bluegill pattern is amazing...best pattern on a crankbait.) also, salmo does photo finishes on their lures which means that they print a photo onto the bait, so theyre bluegill looks pretty realistic too.

does anyone know who exactly came up w/ the first soft plastic stickbait? was it GY himself? or did he "steal" it from someone else? i'd like to know. i cant afford GYCB lures. i just cant. so therefore, i like to buy the otherstuff. imo they work just as well, and alot of times you can get more baits for a lower price. i say its all about confidence and money. use what you like, and what you can afford. and face it...ALL SOFT PLASTICS GET TORN UP!!!!! its a part of life. the ONLY softplastic bait i have found that doesnt get torn up after several fish is the strike king 3x. thast because they are so strechy that they dont rip, they just...strech.

great post raul...tahts what i think fishins all about

i somehow got a pack (when i was very little before i fished i used to collect soft plastic worms to play with...dont ask...although its kinda handy now cuz i have so many of them ) but i dont remember where i got it from. my guess is it was walmart.

ive got the confidence....maybe i just need to use them more. theres not many lures that i fish that i dont have confidence in. if i find my self fishing a lure w/o any confidence, i will quickly change, i can just tell that i think its pointless to fish that lure, and i will put on somethin i like.

but see...i do fish watermelon...cuz i hear such good things about them. i know that thay produce, i just cant get them too!

OOO!!! good story to prove that: i ordered a strike king catalog some time back. well they sent me a pack of 3x iguanas and a letter that said that they were out of catalogs. i was like ok whatever. i remember reading the warning on the back, but soon forgot about it :. i put a iguana in a compartment w/ a few other worms. next time i took out the tackle the iguana had big impressions from where the other worms were touching it. yeah they arent kidding w/ that label. the other worms are find, its the 3x that get deformed.

sounds like a wacky rig might put some fish in the boat there for ya

berkeley power hawgs are good ones...its a creature kind of bait w/ lots of apendages also ill just use a 4" curly tail grub. both of those are multipurpose trailers...but i use them for bottom fishin. i dont have very good luck w/ jigs. i try to fish them alot, but i only caught 3 fish on them.

should be fine as long as you seal whatever they are in up. but dont store different colors w/ each other because the WILL bleed. ive had it happen and it sucks. ruins a whole bunch of plastics.

my dad snagged this one w/ a weedless spoon while fishin a farm pond. it was swimmin in the water when he snagged it...(made me take it off the hook tho! thing bit me too :'() when i go bluegill fishin down at my pond, there are always massive (i mean massive) amounts of really big bullfrog tadpoles (golfball sized). sometimes if the fish arent biting, ill toy w/ then and snag them. i took my blowgun down there once to get a few...worked too!

NATURAL SHAD ALL THE WAY!!!!! that is my confidence color. for some reason the watermelons never seem to produce for me. i think what it is is that they match the water color and are hard for the fishies to see.....anyone know why the watermelon colors never produce, whn i can switch to shad or red and catch lots of fish?

if it holds up then it should be killer!!!!! that is so innovative! ill bet it imitates surface crawlin bugs real well...how big is it?

was the prop on the trebbel or was it infront of it? coulda been a heddon torpedo.

ooook thanks now i get it! so about how much should i thread on there for a 3/0 hook?

mmmmmmmm those are some nice thick filets!!!!

thanks a bunch ronnie...thats exactly what i'll do. it makes perfect sense and i wouldnt have even thought of that. i understand the concept, but im not totally sure on how to do this.....normally you would insert the hookpoint in the head of the worm, well this time to i just stick it in however far back i want?

also my numba one fav. senko style bait! def. gotta get the 3x version though. i like lighter colors, like shad or white....i find that the watermelon color blends in w/ the water and dont get as many strikes. i have good luck w/ the red shad colors too. these things are indestructible!!! i rig them wacky rig....they are just so wiggly that fish cant resist!!!!

hmmm so the popping lip is separated from the actual bait???? thats strange. you said its also a hardbait, not soft? where did you see this? r u sure it wasnt some lure that some private company that no bodies ever heard of made it?

i know that kinami is made by GY's son. it says yamamoto enterprises on the top. i never really took the time to figure out the unit price but the main reason i get them is because they are much more common around here. only one store sells GYCB, but i can think of three off the top my head that sell kinami.

they way i cooked it was i seasoned up the filets real good (too many ingredients to list) wrapped them all up in the same tin foil "bag" and put it on the grill for maybe 10 min. that way they are cooking in their own juices and its crazy delicious. i dotn like fried fish. bass meat is white meat.....just looks like plain fish...nothin special. its pretty flaky delicious too!!!! ;D

wats that little circly thing infront of the head and behind the line tie in point?

imo, they are over rated. sure theyre nice...but they are expensive! if you have money, and confidence, then go ahead and use the GYCB, i however have the confidence, but not the money, so i buy the cheaper stuff like kinami and tiki stick. same great action, only half the price! one senko-type plastic that i do buy that is kinda high priced is the strike king 3x zeros. those are amazing. they are so strechy and soft and wiggly and durable. i love waky rigging, and when i do that heres what i've found: kinami last for a couple fish, tiki last for a few more, and 3x zeros last forever! they seriously never get torn up.

my thoughts exactly! matt fly, thats what i think too!
