ABLE2DISABLE1 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Here you go, Heddon and storm baits. Quote
b.Lee Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I think under rated baits tend to be the ones which are not expensive to each persons perception. I would assume most avid anglers in general (this could be a huge assortment) buy quality baits thinking the cheap ones won't produce. I think any bait can and will catch anything. Quote
jbtcardfan Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Luhr Jensen's Bass Oreno. We have one of the large ones, 5/8 oz., in the frog pattern that, if there's any topwater bite at all, works consistently. It's amazing how such a simple lure can attract big fish. Quote
jbtcardfan Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Oh, I and I agree 100% with everybody who cited the Creme Scoundrel pre-rig. Walmart's ALWAYS got some on the shelf, they never seem to run out. Quote

Big Mike in Fl Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 as Chris just said, The Johnny Rattler...that bait was a consistant for me this year, even with a less than ideal topwater season, this bait produced...and not just dinks, I was catching 4 and 5lbers on these, while at the same time I was getting dinks and 1lbers on skinny dippers and senkos. There is something magical about that little lure! Quote
ABLE2DISABLE1 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Frog pattern in the J-Rattler is one nasty bait,vicious strikes. Quote
kikstand454 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 ive caught some of the boggest fish of my life on a beetle spin. in fact my p.b. lmb! underrated is the hildebrandt snagless sally. if youre not throwing this in tidal water.... why are you there? Quote
Chris Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 The lure I liked was the baby Johnny Rattler in a Jim Pfeffer Florida shiner pattern. Ugly as sin bait that looked like it should be for peacock bass but man it caught fish. Luhr Jensen bought the company and they made some cut backs shame too. Quote
Chaz Hickcox Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 ROOSTERTAIL - These will catch anything anywhere and it's always hidden in my tackle box somewhere. Quote

shootermcbob Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I don't know about underrated everywhere, but around here I am the only person I have seen for the last couple years throwing a jitterbug. I catch fish on it almost every day i go fishing, usually 2-4 fish. I have not seen another angler throwing a jitterbug. I have even had a few comment on my throwing it as they go trolling by; things like, " wow, I haven't seen anyone use a jitterbug for along time" I just smile and wave. Quote
ABLE2DISABLE1 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 My first jitterbug W/Red never forget it Snagless Sally still owne a few. Quote
heavy M Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I agree 100% with the beetle spin being an underrated lure. I have caught many nice bass with one. I often get laughed at when my buddies see my throwing one. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted November 22, 2009 Super User Posted November 22, 2009 One would have to be Chatterbaits. Seriously, how often do you hear about them..? How many guys do you know that use them regularly..? I've caught more than a few fish on them.. Iaconelli fishes chatterbaits more than anyone I have ever seen. Quote
JWallin Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Rooster tails Jitterbug Tiny torpedo I have a variety of colors for each. One of favorites to fish with. Quote
VAfishin4me Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 wow! great responses. I am still looking up some of the lures I had never heard of or used before (about 80%) ;D thanks for sharing Quote
catchnm Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 H&H spinners. Great spinnerbaits with a twin hook. 3" Sassy Shads rigged on an1/4 or 1/8 oz. jighead, superb. Mann's Augertail worm. Gene Larew HooDaddys, and Big Bite Baits Kreit Kreatures. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted November 23, 2009 Super User Posted November 23, 2009 A 3" curly tailed grub on a simple 1/8 oz. jig head. Will catch anything that swims, yet it's been awhile since I've heard anyone talk about using them! Quote
Blue Streak Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 A 3" curly tailed grub on a simple 1/8 oz. jig head. Will catch anything that swims, yet it's been awhile since I've heard anyone talk about using them! If I had to fish to eat this would be the bait I would choose. They catch just about anything on days when other baits won't work at all. I guess it is just not a challenging bait to use and has never been popular. Quote
Primus Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 BlueStreak I think it's about the latest greatest syndrome, I'm sometimes guilty as charged. I haven't thrown a single tail grub at all the last few years, though they have always been a productive bait in the past. Next year I'm going to back to my roots a bit and fish more of the old school lures. Quote
