Super User Munkin Posted August 18, 2010 Super User Posted August 18, 2010 Sebile Magic Swimmer > this thing looks so good in the water but I haven't even had a follower in 2 years. Like others said this year has been slow and only finesse baits have worked this summer. Allen Quote
Super User Raul Posted August 18, 2010 Super User Posted August 18, 2010 I would not apply the term "favorite" to a lure that doesn 't work, lures that I like ( not favorites because that 's a term the lure has to earn ) I have several that fall in the category: does not work, however to be honest, I haven 't given them the opportunity to show their potential. One lure that doesn 't work for me are buzzbaits, fortunately I only have a couple of those and really, it doesn 't take my sleep away. Quote
ABLE2DISABLE1 Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 The only lure that doesn't work for me is a empty hook, I tried to dead stick -it and still nothing, but as soon as I put a plastic bait on it, game on.I've caught bass on Sexy Swimmers and a french fry in tequila color, and a blue and chartreuse Dt10 Swimmer I've been throwing in 2-6ft of water and the fry as well.Dt's been in open water at school-in fish.And yes I said School-in Fish, crazy and unheard of. Good luck Quote

Good luck Funny i've literally caught blue gills before just dead sticking a standard live bait hook. I think its because the hook is gold but idk. Quote
The one that got away Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Anything with the word "jig" in it. I like using jigs, but I swear me and jigs just don't mix. I've caught one fish on a jig. One of these days I need to try a different lake and toss a jig around and see what happens. Me too. I think I caught a fish on a jig sometime in the 1990's. Granted, I haven't tried them too often since then, because I get nothing and would rather fish something that works for me and I have confidence in. I have been trying to develop a better all-around game this year, so I have been trying again. Still nothing. Probably going to stick more with what I know and what works for me. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted August 20, 2010 Super User Posted August 20, 2010 They aren't favortites by any means but Rapala X-rap, Spro BBZ Shad, flukes, and rage tail thumper (had one bite and it tore the tail off) Quote
