trupp30 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I have a question for anyone who uses these or similiar type baits? What do you think is the best way to fish it? By this I mean with/with out a sinker? On a keel wieghted hook? All replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help you can offer. Quote
Aluma-Bass Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Flippn & pitchin with pegged weight is one of my fav ways Quote
msolorio Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 yea thats the only way ive fished em. theyre great baits and fish destroy these things! i love em. you can fish em any way you want, try em, think outside the box. theres no rule that says you have to fish any given bait a certain way. Quote
Vinny Chase Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Just bought a few packs before opener, and I am really impressed so far. I could see myself using this as my go to flip/pitch creature bait. Quote
Shad_Master Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I never fish with a weighted keel hook, but don't see why that wouldn't work. I throw them T-rigged with a 1/4 to 3/8 oz weight (depending on the wind). Haven't really started C-rigging yet, but think they may be an option for that. They are murdered in the brush piles now that Momma has abandoned the nest. Quote
Jake P Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I flip them t rigged. It is one of my go to baits. big Texan is my favorite color. Try them any way you think might work. You might discover something new. Quote
stkbassn Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I have some of the Pumpkin Ed jig heads that stand up...I don't have the Pit Boss but the Craw Fatty....would both be good on that jig head? Quote
Mike__D Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I love to fish them texas rigged with a bullet weight pitching to cover and into weeds. Orange Vampire is I preferred color. mike D Quote
youngbassman Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 This is a great bait. I fish them texas rigged what consist of a bobber stopper your weight i dont usually go any higher then a 3/8 unless i am punching which i use upwards of an ounce and then your hook i like a 3/0 to 4/0 ewg hook but when punching i use paycheck baits punch hook. This is my go to creature bait and i like green pumpkin just for simplicity. Hope this helps Quote
Super User webertime Posted May 29, 2012 Super User Posted May 29, 2012 This weekend I added using biffle hardheads and dragging them over gravel to the long list of ways to catch fish with them. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 29, 2012 Super User Posted May 29, 2012 They are fantastic baits and I use them for flippin and pitchin' to targets mostly. I rig them with a 1/4 ounce parasite head and a 4/0 EWG Gammy. Right now they are my favorite creature bait. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 29, 2012 Global Moderator Posted May 29, 2012 Really not a bad way to fish them. They've become my favorite heavy wood/weeds flipping bait. Great jig trailer, good on a c-rig, good on a shakeyhead, great bed bait. Just really a good all around bait. Quote
SausageFingers Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I actually like to throw them on the back of a swim jig. They're pretty versatile. Quote
