bassin is addicting Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I throw soft plastics or jigs/plastic trailers about 90% of the time. The biggest exception, is spinnerbaits. X2 biggest reason is i fish from the bank and get hung up too much...plus it's a confidence thing with plastics Quote
Super User Micro Posted June 23, 2010 Super User Posted June 23, 2010 If I didn't own any hardbaits, I think I'd catch as many fish as a I do now. Hardbaits for me are interesting. But I don't think there isn't a soft substiture for any hardbait I have. Quote
NorCalFishinguru Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Of course. The main lake i fish is so choked with weeds that you cant even rip a lipless crank through the weeds without getting fouled up. Quote
zerofivenismo Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Yep. 90% soft plastics & jigs to 10% hardbaits. Ask me a year ago, it would be the exact opposite. Just stepping outside of my comfort zone to learn something new each year. Quote
B A S S E R Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 The lake I usually fish has lots of weeds and lily pads so I'm pretty much forced to fish weedless baits. I am also almost always fishing from shore which limits my choices. I would say 90% of my fishing is done with soft plastics and the other 10% coming from spinnerbaits and rattletraps. Quote
Hot n Tot Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I usually use spinnerbaits for locators, but after finding some fish, I usually slow down and start working soft plastics. If I don't catch anything on spinnerbaits, I typically go to plastics anyway after an hour or so, and start worming areas that I think the fish should be. I seldom use crankbaits and jerkbaits this time of year. I know I'm probably missing out on alot of fish. Quote
