GoTakeANap Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 What are some off the wall baits that everyone does very well with? Would like to mix up my fishing with something a little different and that actually catches fish. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 10, 2012 Super User Posted August 10, 2012 Swim jigs. I recently "discovered" a combination new to me: 3/8 oz NorthStar Swim Jig (Sexy Shad)/ Rage Tail Eeliminator (Blue Glimmer). Quote
via Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 you could always try using some hard body swimbaits like the 6in bbz. i was watching bill siementel catching some big ones casting as close as he can to the wall. Quote
Megastink Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 My buddy tosses a 1/2 oz Flipping jig tipped with a 10" Powerworm. I've seen him land some friggin' hogs with it. I've also seen him lose a jig or two to pike (Southeastern Pa). I've seen other guys tip buzz baits and spinnerbaits with Senkos, but that's a little less weird and more "Wow, you really think that thing is magical"... Personally, I'm pretty old fashioned. To me, tossing a 10" worm is a little ridiculous, but they work. I also have a tough time tossing a swim bait much bigger than 5" (it's a confidence thing). Try a swim jig tipped with a split ring swivel and a size 0 or 1 Indiana blade. No other trailer. It can be great on pressured or suspended fish! Quote

An old guy I used to fish with alot tipped his spinnerbaits with live nightcrawlers. Worked for him. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 10, 2012 Global Moderator Posted August 10, 2012 I fish bigger swimbaits like a 6" weedless Hudd in lakes that don't have many big fish, like a 17" fish is a kicker fish. It's amazing how many more solid keeper sized fish I catch on swimbaits than I do all the guys that are finesse fishing. Whenever I'm on a good bite before a tournament I'll share the info of the fish I caught in practice and when someone asks what I caught them on I always reply the same "a bubblegum colored carolina rigged buzzbait by the dam."

ClackerBuzz Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 "the electric chicken". a white/chartreuse swimjig with a 4" pink swimbait w/ yellow belly. i can't tell you how many fish i've caught on it in spring and fall when they didn't want the vibration/flash of a spinnerbait. i figured if trout like neon pink or green why not try it on bass. it worked awesome but i could not duplicate the success with pink senkos Quote
guitarkid Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 some pro guy won a tournament on an "extreme tubo rig" -gk Quote

That is one of my favorite baits! I have caught tons of fish on big worms and some under 10". Quote
