A bait you hate to use

[Red]

senkos for me!

[-nick-]

Mine is a spinnerbait too. I've caught ONE fish on a spinnerbait since I've been bass fishing (summer of 08), even though I always hear how well it catches bass.

[BriBass]

definitely a spinner bait

then shakey head/jigs

and rattle traps

[J Francho]

I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than fish a Carolina rig all day.

I would have to agree... that is more of a pain than it is worth it to me

[BassThumb]

Carolina Rigs are a bore, but I will still toss them because they catch fish for me.  I rig them with a white fluke and dead stick them once I feel the sinker contact the weedline.

[SoFlaBassAddict]

Jigs.  I've landed a couple of small fish swimming jigs around, but thats it.  I keep trying to use them, but I lose a lot of them down deep.  No confidence in a jig at all.  It kills me because I know they're supposed to be great baits, etc etc.  I just suck with a jig.  This will probably be another year where I swear to try using them more and just eventually say screw it.

Another vote for the Carolina rig. I keep rigging them up and throwing them when I think the conditions are right ~ problem is, they never are . . . .

senko

[Coonedawg]

senkos, tubes, and dropahot

[urban_angler28]

cant say i have one

[Revo_Carrot Stix]

Carolina Rig...

1. No confidence

2. Can't cast it

3. Rather work on other techniques when the bite shuts off

4. No fun shopping for sinkers and glass beads

[NorCalFishinguru]

I only bust out the senko when nothing else is producing because it is just not as much fun to fish as the other presentations. I also try to avoid tubes and flukes

[SDoolittle]

Topwaters! Spooks, poppers, frogs... I hate them all! My friends think I'm crazy, but I just can't stand fishing topwater.

Blasphemy ;D :

[90x]

anything that is not a soft plastic

except buzzbaits

[cjl 32994]

CRANKBAITS!!!!!

I hate them....

As a landlocked fisherman of small weedy ponds i can cast it reel twice and then im hung up.  I also dont like spinnerbaits, just not my thing :-?

[SirSnookalot]

As productive as they are I do not like any plastic worm, too boring for me, I'd rather watch the Sound Of Music with Julie Andrews.

All I use in Florida for bass are hard and soft jerkbaits, rebel poppers and spoons. I'll use a jig or crankbait just for a rare change of pace.

Topwater

[TommyBass]

Anyone have a bait they just hate to use even though it's a proven bass catching bait. I have to say mine is a spinner bait. It's a proven bait no arguements there, but I just can't fish one and be productive.

It really irritates me too that I hate fishing such a versitile bait. But I have no results hardly when using one and for that reason I rarely throw one.

Same here, only I have been productive with them.  My problem with spinnerbaits is I have a hard time believing that they are going to out produce on of my other, more comfortable options.  I usually fish one 2-3x per year and thats it.

[flippin and pitchin]

The Roland Martin helicopter bait and the Banjo Minnow.  I can't seem to get bit with these tremendous lures. I'd rather fish a Dancin' Eel than these baits.

[J-Man6927]

Crankbaits...until I master depth control with these things, it will be a battle.

[Fishes in trees]

I get bit often enough using tubes (internal weight, texas rigged) but I have issues sticking and landing fish with this lure.  Maybe 1 out of 8 on average, over the past couple of years.

[Fishing Rhino]

B---o M----w?  Don't you know just using those two words in that order can get you banned?  I thought the program blocked them.

Only one thing I hate to use, treble hooks.  Nasty things, especially with two or three of them dangling from a bait.

I'm with you on the weightless Senko, highly effective but when fishing deep water I'd rather fish crankbaits or weighted T-rigs where I can make 3 cast to every one that I make with a Senko. That said I'll throw it if I have to.
