[string]

Hey guys and gals, new member here.  Longtime fisherman, mainly for panfish and cats, but just getting started in bass fishing because sons are obsessed with bassin'. Anyway, need suggestions on lures.  Keep in mind, i'm just starting out.  Any suggestions on types of lures, colors, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome, string.

As for other soft plastics, I like Zoom Brush Hogs a lot (once again AB has them as Bush Bugs), and a lot of people love Rage Tail baits (I have tried the Space Monkey and Toad and like them both - but the word is all of their products are great).

I always use a weightless t-rig with 3/0-5/0 offset hooks for my soft plastics depending on what bait and size I am using. I do this mainly for the rigs weedless qualities, and having no weight also gives the senkos that great fall that bass love

For top water frogs, I know a lot of people love the Spro Bronzeye frogs, but I have yet to try them

For other top waters - the Arbogast Jitterbug and Hula Popper are both good baits and are pretty popular.

I'm not a crank bait guy so I'll leave that for someone else.

Good luck!

You can not go wrong with 5" senkos. Also, some worms with a curly tail (Berkley Power worm 7"") with a 3/0 hook and a 1/16 oz . Also, 3/8oz spinnerbait in chartreuse is a good bet for catching fish.

What kind've waters will you be fishing?  Rivers?  Ponds.  Large impoundments?  There is a huge choice of baits appropriate for covering the water column from top to bottom and I'd want to know more before answering your question.

copy that above me, but all you really need is a white crankbait, baby brush hog, and a frog, preferably by spro.   ;D

Nice to see someone from this area on here. Black/blue flake or junebug colored Zoom trickworms work well for South MS.

Welcome!

[Vinny Chase]

And so it begins...Try anything that has the brand name ZOOM on it, they all work!

Trick worms, ole monsters, ultra-vibe, etc.
