bass1980 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Just got back from the river and caught a 21 inch walleye with a red eye shad. If you work it low you can get walleyes too. It's not just for bass. Quote
jerzeeD Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 You can catch most fish species in the lake on Quote
TNBassin' Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I recommend academy's h20 xpress lipless cranks. They are very nice and reasonable compared to other brands. You just can't beat the red eye shad or the xcalibur xrk50s though. Quote
JCiurej34 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I love lipless cranks especially in the prespawn and in the fall. My favorites are the red eye shad and the rapala rippin rap which is pretty under rated. Quote
Super User deep Posted October 22, 2012 Super User Posted October 22, 2012 Caught a few "keeper" sized bass on a Spro Aruku Shad today. Quote
jerzeeD Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Usually I use live target golden shiners. The 1/2 oz. size has landed LM bass, walleye, Rainbow and Brown trout, Crappie, perch, pickerel.... Even caught a landlocked atlantic salmon on one! The most versatile bait I own. Quote
TNBassin' Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Does anyone use the storm thin fins? I've seen them at bps bit wasn't sure if they were good baits. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 23, 2012 Global Moderator Posted October 23, 2012 Does anyone use the storm thin fins? I've seen them at bps bit wasn't sure if they were good baits. I have some of the original thin fins and have had very good success with them. Don't know if the newer versions of them work as well or not. They are a little difficult to cast but it's not terrible if you use spinning gear. Quote
TNBassin' Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I may pick one up and see how it fares. I've got a ton of SK red eye shad in my box and those are big producers for me right now, so I'll have to force myself to tie on a thin fin. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted October 23, 2012 Super User Posted October 23, 2012 Thin Fins are light floaters , nothing like a lipless crankbait. I dont have one anymore because they are difficult to cast on baitcasting equipment. Quote

Cast it tight to a rocky shoreline, twitch it a couple of times and hang on! Tom 1 Quote

Twitch it just like you say. Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted October 23, 2012 Super User Posted October 23, 2012 I have some of those, but swear they are Bombers. Did Bomber originally make them? Quote

The local tackle store has some NIB they look old lol. Be glad to pick them up for u next time I'm down that way, Thursday. 1 Quote
fishinkeebs Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I am a fan of the SPRO aruku shads! They cast great and keep a good heads down balance on retrieve. I love ripping them during this time of year. The paint jobs hold up pretty good too. Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Love em! Use the plain ol rattle trap and works great. I like to throw em right in the pads through breaks and canals in the cover. Gets em when nothing else will. Quote
