set_the_hook Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Im trying to lighten the boat load of plastics i carry. It seems creatures are my biggest (bait monkey)flaw. Im carrying Beavers, RageCraws, Smokkin Roosters, Space Monkeys, Lake Fork Creatures and a brushhog type bait. Im sure I can eliminate a few things here. How many different creature do most of you guys carry? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 9, 2011 Super User Posted January 9, 2011 All of them and looking for more! You NEED Bobby's MegaBug in several colors, too! : Quote
BassThumb Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Too many. Creatures are the easiest soft plastic to get carried away with because there's a huge selection of different styles. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 9, 2011 Super User Posted January 9, 2011 Two. Beavers, and Paca Craws. Both in a couple colors, and a couple sizes. One with alot of action, one more subtle..............works for me. Quote
Nibbles Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Three - Super Hogs, Beavers and Space Monkeys. Basically, one with subtle action, one that's slightly less subtle due to ribbed design and wider body, and one with lots of action and water displacement. Quote
backwater4 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Couple of colors of Beavers and the same with Brush Hogs, maybe 6 packs total. I just restock the boat after each trip. I hate sorting through to much tackle to find stuff. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Hogs, Space Monkeys, Chiggers, Beavers, Rooster, and my personal favorite...KREATURE (GYCB) Quote
Carrington Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I carry a few. Mostly yamamoto kreatures and some knock offs of it and then beaver style baits. Quote
MMan16 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Creature baits are definitely my weak spot. It seems to me no two creatures are the same. Hence the necessity to have them all. I prob have about 10+ creatures and a few diff colors of each. Quote
Super User bassfisherjk Posted January 9, 2011 Super User Posted January 9, 2011 I use only one and that's a Zoom Baby Brush Hog.I carry a couple of different colors,watermelon magic,pumpkin,and green pumpkin magic. Quote

jdw174 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I carry 3 colors of standard beaver-type baits and Brush hogs in a couple of colors.....that's it. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted January 9, 2011 Super User Posted January 9, 2011 I don't know, bud, it kinda sounds like you need all those baits. Just cut down on the number of each bait you carry, but never the number of different styles of baits. Quote
Loomis24 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 During the spring time I only carry 2 kinds. Brush hogs and of course you cannot forget about Lizards. Lizards on beds is a strike waiting to happen. Quote
SeanW Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 2 or 4. I dont really consider the Sweet Beaver a creature bait, but I saw it mentioned on the lists above. Same goes for the Paca Craw. So I carry Brush Hogs and Zipper Monkey Bugs. I have all that other "stuff", but the bottom line is, the oldies but goodies still catch big fish. Ive learned that I just dont need to anchor the boat down with 20 different creature baits, I wont throw em all anyway. Carry your confidence baits and fish em. I do have 2 colors of a custom bait in my boat at all times, but I wont talk about them. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted January 9, 2011 Super User Posted January 9, 2011 It's almost all I fish with.....Creature baits are by far my favorites.65% of my tackle is probably creature baits. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Just the bare minimum: Brushhogs Sweet Beavers Yo Mamas Rodents Space Monkeys Super Hogs Bacon Rinds Wooly Hawgs Wooly Bugs and some goofy baits by BPS Quote
tholmes Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 During the spring time I only carry 2 kinds. Brush hogs and of course you cannot forget about Lizards. Lizards on beds is a strike waiting to happen. Yep. I carry a couple of sizes of Brush Hogs in two colors and lizards mostly in black. Edit: I got a couple of packs of Rage Tails for Christmas, green pumpkin and Bama craw, so I'll be adding those to my arsenal this spring. Tom Quote
Super User Tin Posted January 10, 2011 Super User Posted January 10, 2011 Under 60 degrees = 4" lizards 60+ with veggies = Super and Brush Hogs 3 colors....keep it simple..... Quote
