basscatcher8 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Crankbaits: I'm a bandit fan. Top water: I'm a heddon fan. Spooks in all sizes. Walmart had a bin full of the puppies in all different colors for a buck a piece the otherday. I grabbed every one they had out of their. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted April 4, 2014 Super User Posted April 4, 2014 ONE THING TO NOTE from the replies above....anyone see a pattern? A ton of anglers are throwing the KVD square bills and and Red Eye Shads....not saying they don't work but it says something when you see over 50% of people suggesting it. It means when you hit the water, a bunch of fish have already seen heard a KVD square or Red Eye that day or days prior during practice. Try doing something different like gluing the rattles in your Red Eye or throwing a slightly larger or smaller version of the KVD square. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that both of those baits are great, but in a tournament situation, I bet a ton of fish are gonna be seeing them. Try being a bit different. That's an astute observation, Ryan If we learned one thing from this thread is that promotion matters (let's hear it for KVD) Roger Quote
Super User CWB Posted April 4, 2014 Super User Posted April 4, 2014 First, the KVD 1.5 and RedEye are killer baits, fish seen them or not. There isn't another rattle bait out there that sinks horizontally, let alone wiggle on the way down. People listed their favorite baits. If they are the favorites, obviously they work. They are not the favorite because a famous pro endorses them. Second, promotion will get you hyped up and buy the baits, but if they didn't work, would you list them as a favorite? That being said, I'm really starting to like the XR50 OneKnockers which are a little something different. To each his own. 1 Quote

fishnfreak410 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Square Bill-Bomber Square A-firetiger or shad color Lipless-Cordell Spot chrome is shallower water because its a little lighter and falls a little slower. Red eye in deeper water-firetiger or red craw colored Jerkbait-SPRO McRip Old Glory and Spooky Shad, McStick-Chrome Shad and Cell Mate ( these are my recent new favorites just started using them and love 'em) Topwater-Devil's Horse - chrome with orange belly. Spook -custom painted black with two different shades of orange belly. the belly has red dots and white slashes. "top it off" with a chartreuse tail. Catches a lot of fish. I alternate the spook and a frog. When that slows down pick up the Horse. Quote
