Super User bigbill Posted April 5, 2012 Super User Posted April 5, 2012 The first year me and my sons got into bass fishing one spring after trout fishing only for many years it wasn't until the weeds grew that tried to stop us till we regrouped and did some research into the weedless baits. Our success continued even when the weeds were out of control. My point is never let the weeds stop us from fishing and send us home a beaten fisherman, fisherwoman. We can beat the weeds with the right stuff. My favorite weedless lures are; 1. Mister twister top prop (slow reel, reel / pause, pause presentations) 2. mepps timber doodle (just drop it into the weed pockets and let it do its thing as it falls, let it dance baby dance) 3. Plastic grub on a jig head (2" or 3" in size and yellow, white, milktruese or chartruese in color) 4. Spinnerbaits (fished fast enough so the blade slaps the topwater) 5. weedless winged spoons Do you have any i didn't list??? 1 Quote

Super User smalljaw67 Posted April 5, 2012 Super User Posted April 5, 2012 Heddon Moss Boss, it is a fantastic bait!! After that it is a Scum Frog, gotta love them! Quote
Dave P Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Frogs and money hounds. I got a lot of hits on money hounds the one time I've used them, but haven't hooked up good yet but I see the potential for sure. Quote

Super User Hooligan Posted April 6, 2012 Super User Posted April 6, 2012 Tough to say, I hate fishing topwater, probably my least desirable way to fish. If I must, I'll be throwing a Rage Toad, Shad, or a Gunts Frog. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted April 7, 2012 Super User Posted April 7, 2012 I've mostly fished a 10 inch worm weedless (and weightless), but plan on trying several other baits this year. Junebug seems to be my favorite color. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 7, 2012 Super User Posted April 7, 2012 My best success is a weedless rigged fluke, any brand, I buy zooms for freshwater because Walmart is open 24 hours and the tackle stores don't open until 9. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted April 7, 2012 Author Super User Posted April 7, 2012 Only one worm fished topwater. I purchased some floating worms but never tried them yet. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted April 7, 2012 Super User Posted April 7, 2012 My best success is a weedless rigged fluke, any brand, I buy zooms for freshwater because Walmart is open 24 hours and the tackle stores don't open until 9. Flukes I've got, but hadn't considered fishing them on top. Same thing for tubes. What little I have fished tubes has been on the bottom. No idea why either wouldn't work on the top. Thanks for the suggestions! Quote
Nodda4me Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Tough to say, I hate fishing topwater, probably my least desirable way to fish. If I must, I'll be throwing a Rage Toad, Shad, or a Gunts Frog. I absolutely LOVE topwater. It's such a rush when they hit the lure, it's awesome. I catch all my fish on Rapala Shallow Shad Rap's. Shad color. Obviously it's not weedless, but I love it. I've been trying Zoom Super Flukes, having no luck at all using texas rig, weightless on #4 hook... It's rated 4.9 of 5 stars with 235 reviews. I haven't had one bite. I've tried the Pearl White, Watermelon Seed, and Arkansas Shiner. Mostly Watermelon. Quote
VolFan Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Flukes and/or Space Monkeys. The SM over grass'll change your life. Quote
bwell Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I have never done well with the rage fogs(with hook ups), but thats just because I couldnt get them to run right side up. I purchased some keel weighted hooks and will be trying them again this year... Spro frog, and fluke are both great in grass. Drop the fluke into a whole in the grass and hold on! Quote
