What's Your Most Recent?

[JT Bagwell]

Every so often I come across a bait that is just awesome. In the spring it was when I got the Siebert Outdoors

Bloody Shad swim jig.

 

So what is your most recent bait that made you say Holy Cow this thing is crazy good like a fish magnet?

 

 

My most recent is definitely the Lucky Craft S.K.T. MR in MS American Shad. That thing is amazing I for sure

will be getting more of them.

 

 

[Snakehead Whisperer]

Not a hard bait, but this year I have been tearing it up on the KVD Dream Shots. Really great quality lure.

I make a most of my own crankbaits and topwaters, some of them have been pretty awesome. The most recent has been a walking bait design; I really love fishing these in the fall.

I bought this topwater bait 2 years ago but didn't fish it much. This Fall I decided to give it a go and have been pleasantly surprised. It's a Marty Burns prop bait and it's out of this world!

[QUAKEnSHAKE]

Kinami Palm trees/ Fat Ikas most used lure by far now. Can use it many different areas and it catches fish form top to bottom. Plus it casts great too thing soars.

[MacP]

Storm Gobys/Sculpins are amazing in the rivers.  I've already caught loads of fish on Zooms Z-drop worms (they stole them from Jackall, Crosstail shad?)

Rage Tail 8" ReCon Worm SK #135 Falcon Lake Color.

Rage Tail Lobster SK #135 Falcon Lake Color

I thought the Lobster was awesome as a jig trailer & it is but I resently started throwing it weightless Texas rigged...it's death in a bag!

[McKinneyLonghorn]

I had never really used soft plastics until about two months ago. The first ones I tried were 4-inch Senkos in watermelon with red and black flake. After a two fish performance my first time out, I hauled in 17 over my next two trips to the small community pond I fish. That was enough to make me say "holy cow, these things really work." Since then the fishing has slowed down and I haven't approached those catch numbers, but my initial impression was enough to make me a believer.

Mine is the R2S Whopper Plopper 130. I've been throwing this bait a ton lately, haven't gotten all that many bites but every one I do get is a nice one. They hit this thing with such force as well, it makes for amazing top water fishing. 

[Bankbeater]

I take a 6" senko cut it in half, and then trim up the end a little to lose the taper.  I don't catch a lot of hawgs on it, but the bass about a pound or so can't leave it alone.

[webertime]

Jackall Boil Trigger. Think of a love child made by a jointed rapala and pop-r. Casts well and really pops and gurgles awesome. Sounds just like the blurp slurp big smallies make when the take a Topwater.

[GoneFishi'n]

Mine is a MorganCustomLures 10" Gizzard Shad. 3oz shy of 7lbs.

[Shane J]

I have to go with Rage Tail Lobster, as well. It's pure bulk and action, and it works for many ways I like to fish, all while getting the attention of the biggest bass in the lake. Falcon is probably my favorite all around color, but Gr Pumpkin/Purple Gold is awful tough to beat, too.

[SPEEDBEAD.]

Deps 250 Slide Swimmer

 

It is absolutley seductive looking in the water.

[Primus]

This year in terms of baits that I hadn't previously fished I would pick the River to Sea S Waver as the top newcomer for my rotation. I look forward to expanding my selection of S style swimbaits but of the ones I have tried this has by far been my most productive.

Rage Tail Space Monkey, on a 5/16oz Evo Shake2 jighead. It bass crack.

[JT Bagwell]

I need to get on board with the swim bait guys but so far I just haven't.

 

My buddy Mike Bucca makes some and I am thinking about getting a couple

of them to try out. I can't remember the name though.

 

Our fishing season is quickly coming to an end here in Northern Illinois so it

might be something I pick up to get my fix in the off season.

[olegs]

Rage Tail Craw on 3/16 oz. T rig. Last weekend I had success with it when Senko and worms almost did not work. 

[Fishes in trees]

The go to bait for me this summer was a home made jika rig (roughly 1/2 oz) and a creature bait.

Yup - The Lobster has been a real game changer for me too.

 

Of course the Scrounger / Fluke combo is a coming on very strong as well.

The bait you are referring to is the Bull Shad. I really want one! He doesn't live far from me at all.

They sure look awesome don't they.

[Primus]

I like the 5" & 6"  fast sink version ( I don't believe it's listed on his website ) and I have Dwain from Baitwerks paint it in a Golden Shiner pattern, it's been a very productive bait for me. I usually have Dwain order it from Mike and then he paints it. Patience is needed as it usually take a couple of months to get it.

[Grizzn N Bassin]

as alwasy they senkos waky rigged.

 

this year double bladed buzzbaits . most productive color was black blades and black skirt. with a red head

[SPEEDBEAD.]

Almost forgot about this one....almost.
