Must Have Lure/plastic

[The Fisher]

Watermelon black red 5" senko

[WIGuide]

I'll pull out 4 rods in this situation usually:

Drop shot with a Berkley Bottom Hopper Jr.

Spinnerbait with a 1/4 oz terminator

Square Bill Xcalibur XCS 100

Wacky Rig 4 1/2" Yum Dinger

[Getfit74]

Plain and simple.......Senko

I'm right there with ya on this one, super confidence bait for me. I feel if there's a bass around he's just not going to be able to resist that senko shimmy.

[FrogFreak]

Brush Hog or Baby Brush Hog in Green Pumpkin - Just a confidence bait I suppose.

X2  on the Brush Hog. If the water is stained, I like the chartreuse tail on my green pumpkin hog or a Berkley power worm in Green Pumpkin or Watermelon T-Rigged.

 

I do have to say last year, I went to a drop shot with a Strike King bitsy tube (natural colors) more often than in the past when I was stumped.

Flukes with underspins, shallow shad raps, t-rigged brush hogs, poppers in the morning/later afternoon.

[mjseverson24]

if i just need to catch fish to get the confidence up I go to 2 baits

1) 1/2 oz chart/wht double willow spinnerbait (blade color depends on water clarity)

2) dropshot either finesse worm or wacky senko

If i dont catch fish with these two baits, its going to be a long day...

5" senko

Storm Arashi 5, bluegill color, no rattles. I can always catch a couple fishing it parallel to rocky shorelines or fishing it through laydowns.
