Christian M Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 #1- 5" Senko, Texas Rigged, Weightless #2- 3/8 oz black Spinnerbait, #6 gold Indiana, #2 Colorado blade These are my top producers as far as numbers. If we're talking about fishing for Lunkers, Ill take a Craw colored jig w/a watermelon red beaver tail trailer. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 8, 2013 Super User Posted February 8, 2013 Wacky rigged Senkos!! Quote
RAMBLER Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Zoom trick worm, watermelon red, T-rig weightless Quote
OutKast Actual Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Some sort of Senko type bait or a Zoom Fluke has been my (2) most productive in most types of waters & weather conditions. My all time favorite lure to use though is a Spinner Bait...i just enjoy the spinner bait bite better than all others. As far as baits (live); crawdads & "Grampuss" (Hellgramite). Quote
tubeman Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Gitzit Spider Jig brown crawl with chartreuse tail, 1/8 ounce jig head. Quote
Crappiebasser Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 If productive means numbers caught it a c rigged 4" Zoom watermelon lizard. If productive means quality fish it's a 1/2oz mop jig. Quote
McAlpine Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 1/4oz terminator T-1 in white/silver. However Rapala/terminator have stopped producing a 1/4oz. Stupidity! That size with their blades can be worked at just the right speed. Now I have to find a new spinnerbait manufacturer. Bummer for me, plus they lost a dedicated customer. Awesome bait if you can find any. Quote
11justin22 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 A trig baby brush hog for me with a jig not far behind. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I have three that I always throw because of their productivity for me. Hard to choose ahead of time because conditions always vary, but these three baits will be with me on every fishing trip because of the numbers of bass they've caught me: Zoom Baby Brush Hog - Blackberry Most colors work well, but in my home waters the blackberry color is excellent. I try to keep five bags in reserve. Terminator Green/White Spinnerbait - Anyone can catch a fish with a green and white spinnerbait used properly. Wal-Mart had these on clearance one year and I bought about a dozen. Lucky Craft RC 1.5 - Blue Bream color - Best crankbait of all time. Down to my last one. They are getting hard to find. In a year, I suspect that this will be replaced by the KVD 1.5... Quote
Big Bassman Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 For me it will vary each year depending on where and when I am fishing. Last year it was a spinner bait, and some years it is the jig&pig or worm, but most years it is probably a crank. During the course of a season I will use many different baits, again depending on time of year and body of water. Always searching for the one bait that will give me the best results. Sometimes I am looking for numbers of good fish, and sometimes I am looking for big fish, that to will make a difference. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted February 9, 2013 Super User Posted February 9, 2013 Either a squarebill/lipless crank, jig or shakey head is something I will always depend on. Quote
jonnysmith Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 i was over at everglades national park this thrusday on the fresh water side. i put a bunch of lure in the water and not 1 hit.then i went to a sliver spoon 3in long & in my 2nd cast i got a snook,then thruout the day i got a few bass,cat fish, 2 trouts.

BassmanDan Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 A trickworm, either green pumpkin or black. If I am not throwing it my partner is outfishing me with one so I don't have a lot of choices. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 5" Senko weightless, watermelon pepper or smoke pearl blue. Quote
Amarley Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I've had a lot of luck with Reaction Innovation Skinny Dippers. I got put on to them on a trip to Okeechobee and haven't put them down since. They are a great post-spawn into fall lure and you can fish any depth. I like to texas rig them either weightless or with a weighted belly 4/0 hook. Rigged this way, they are completely weedless and I can honestly say I've only lost 1 or two over the two seasons I've fished them. You can pitch/swim them on a jig, do a true texas rig with a bullet weight, even put them on an umbrella rig. Very versatile and inexpensive way to catch a ton of bass. I also like crankbaits. The Strike King squarebills are tough to beat. For deeper cranks, I prefer the Bomber Fat Free shad. I bought some of the deep diver square bill fat free shad over the winter and can't wait to try them out. Quote
