What Lure Is Your Specialty?

[Ratherbfishing]

"Specialty" might be pushing things a bit as doubtless there are lots of people who could fish circles around me with either set up, but my two largest bass (6 lb 3 oz's and 7 lb 4 oz's) have both been on Rapala Glass Shad Raps. The bait I tend to catch a lot of bass on (with a fair number of good-sized fish too) is a texas-rigged ChiggerCraw. If there are hungry bass in the area, I can usually coax some to bite this.

Bought a bunch of jigs last month! Going to try to learn how to fish them. Y'all seem to be doing so well with them.

For now, it's shakey head, Jeff Kriet Squirrel Tailed worm......always have one tied on.....sometimes I just fish that one rod combo all day.

Second would be Space Monkey on Moaner Stroker keel hook.......that's always on another rod.

Specialty, lizards. I cant deny, I love a topwater bite and will work the lizard as fast as I can sometimes to get a fish to hit the surface with the lizard. They work better below surface, but wheres the eyegasm in that?

[wnybassman]

Some have said that I drag a mean tube. lol

Over my tournament "career" I have won more $$ on a tube than all other baits combined.

Oddly, the last few years I have not used a tube as much as I used to.

Can't say I got any go-to specialty. I have 20+ rods rigged with 20+ different lures and pull out the ones I think will work best for the given weather, water, and season. I can flip and hawg tie bass out of inches of mud and dropshot em' down deep if need be and everything in-between. Heck I've done both of those things on the same lake on the same day.

Frogs

[trueblue1970]

Soft plastics, jigs and really been doing well with chatter baits

[Hooligan]

What's my specialty? Probably my most versatile tactic is a spinnerbait followed by a jig. I can do nearly everything with those two baits. Both have won a tremendous number of tournaments and a pretty fair sum of money annually.

Any time, any place, any conditions, any depth: tube.

[dumfish]

Black and Blue chatter bait , when things get tuff in spring and fall. 1/8 oz. to 1/2 oz. wacky and flick shake worms. Summer soft plastics: space monkey, chigger craws.

[jignfule]

JIG

[livetofish28]

Shaky Head or spinnerbaits

[countryfried]

square bills

[I.rar]

fluke jr and 4" roboworm straight tail. if i cant get bit with those, i go home.

[kickerfish1]

All bottom contact baits both larger and finesse as well as weightless soft plastics. I don't do as well as a power fisherman minus spinnerbaits.

It seemed like this season - I was using the perfect baits and techniques to land mostly average fish.

Didn't really matter what it was.

Same tactics produced much better quality in previous seasons.

My best one this year was texas rigged soft plastics. I seemed to catch more fish on a 10" motor oil colored worm and a Zoom speed craw in blueberry. The speed craw caught my biggest which was a 5lb + this spring.

[NILBasser]

Shakey Head or a jig/pacacraw

[SudburyBasser]

I don't know if I would use the word specialty but if push came to shove I'd either throw a soft plastic or crankbait, depending on where I am.

[Curved]

fluke jr and 4" roboworm straight tail. if i cant get bit with those, i go home.

This on a dropshot, except it was a twitchtail instead of a fluke.

[fishking247]

texas rigged worms or grubs on a leadhead
