jonnysmith Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 i was wondering what has been the most productive bait n lure for you,if u could only use 1 bait or lure 2 fish????...for me here in miami its been the silver (rattling) minnow (lookalike) that dives a few feet under water & the top water rubber frog in (green & brown), i have also done pretty good using a simple silver spoon too,ive hooked a few big bass on spoons..the minnow by far has been the most productive 4 me in general 2b honest, in fresh,brakish or salt water & with a big selection of different fish..i dont think u can go wrong with the blk. n silver rattling minnow... 1 Quote

Super User MCS Posted January 23, 2013 Super User Posted January 23, 2013 Grande bass rattlesnake in june bug or trophy hunter rigged weightless or a small bullet weight. All conditions, cold hot sunny rainy....etc. Wonder how it would do in the saltwater around here. Quote
CountBassula Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Black 5" Senko, Texas Rigged. Weightless. 1 Quote
volchuck Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 My fav all time and most productive has been a chartreuse Strike King foam frog (up til last yr primarily fishing big ponds small walk around lakes) last 2 years black finesse jig with small craw trailer, maybe 1/4 oz, no more than 1/2 (ponds and TN river lakes (Pickwick/Kentucky) Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 23, 2013 Super User Posted January 23, 2013 Around here there is nothing that beats creature baits IMO, either by theirselves or tied on a jig, almost a fish every time you cast. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted January 23, 2013 Super User Posted January 23, 2013 ...... almost a fish every time you cast. I need to fish with you 2 Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted January 23, 2013 Super User Posted January 23, 2013 Black 5" Senko, Texas Rigged. Weightless. I'm with you 110% here. Most productive under any conditions for me :-) Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 23, 2013 Super User Posted January 23, 2013 I need to fish with you Anytime the family is not with me you are more than welcome on my boat. 1 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted January 23, 2013 Super User Posted January 23, 2013 If we are talking what is the bait that prevents me from being skunked for a day then I would have to go with a fluke. They can be fished pretty much everywhere in the water column and flat out produce. Other than that, I change up so often I don't have a go to bait. This past fall I got into throwing crankbaits and this winter jigs and deep diving cranks have been the ticket. 1 Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted January 23, 2013 Super User Posted January 23, 2013 5" Senko or Fat Ika, take your pick! 1 Quote
gripnrip Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Senko and crankbait. By finding this forum I'm hoping to change that though! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 23, 2013 Super User Posted January 23, 2013 Productive? As in getting bites from quality fish and not dinks....most of the time, a jig. 2 Quote
fstr385 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Thats a tough one for me. I guess it would have to be a 5" watermelon/red senko or 10" pumkin green/pearl ribbontail t-rigged. Hard lure would be a wht/chart with a pair of gold and silver willow/indy blades Quote
Stork Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I've gotten good quantity and quality on a shallow diving Bomber Square A in a brown craw finish. Plastic worms when the sun is high or the fish are sluggish. Power worms. When they are hitting topwater I go with a Pop-R with baby bass finish. It's been lights out at times. The answer is probably situational depending on the time of day and conditions but if I had to choose just one, it'd be a square-billed shallow diving crankbait. Quote

Super User Teal Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 1/2 oz Jig. Green pumpkin/and a few strands of blue. Craw trailer in either Okeechobee craw or green pumkin. That bait has caught me fish in every season of the year and is almost always tied on or laying in the front deck. Im surprised more people didnt say a jig. Its my go to and my fall back. 1 Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 25, 2013 Super User Posted January 25, 2013 Jig and trailer or a senko, but it's not my most enjoyable way to fish. I personally would rather fish a hard jerkbait or top water popper even I catch less fish. The water dictates my choice of lures. 1 Quote
