Backwoodsbasser Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I'm putting together my travel bag that has 3 3600 Plano boxes and now I need to pack some plastics to come along in the kayak fishing with me. I fish ponds lakes and rivers for SMB and lmb. What are your favorite plastics for spring and pre spawn and how do you fish them? I live in New England if it makes a difference Quote
Volboy Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 1. Craw- either a baby paca craw or yum craw papi 2. Small swimbait like 4" Keitech on a grub or darter head 3. Sweet beaver or smallie beaver 4. Smallish tube on a tube head Quote
719BassFishing Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 1. The number 1 plastic you should have for this time of year is a 7" trick worm rigged on a shakey head. Slowly dragging this on the bottom will always catch a few bass. 2. Any grub type bait rigged on a simple jig head are always good for catching smallmouth. Quote

Super User Shane J Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 Rage Craws for jigs and Rage Rigging, and Menaces to Tx rig and drag. If you're flippin', you'll also need Lobsters and Space Monkeys. The Menace or Grub on a swim jig or a drop shot does pretty good in the rivers around here, too. Also, the Cut'r on a shakey head will catch finicky bass in cold water. 1 Quote
Brian Needham Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 yep NEVER leave home without shakey head worms, NEVER. 1 Quote

Is it a senko tupe bait with the rage flange or simething different? 1 Quote
Super User Shane J Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah, Dick's has 'em. They are kind of like a stick worm, but with a tail that makes it looks very bait fishy when it swims. http://www.ragetail.com/news/rigging-info/rigging-diagrams/ Quote

Washout Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 For pond fishing, I'd have Craws, trick worms, fat alberts, a beaver tail and shaky tails. Based on the weather here in the midwest it was more of where I put it than what I put out there. Fishing into the wind and preferrably when the wind was out of the south. Try a variety of retrieves and speeds. I got more bites fishing moderately fast than I thought was likely given the temps. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 26, 2014 Super User Posted March 26, 2014 Same stuff I use the rest of the year. In fact, this is one of the times of the year where they don't seem to be too picky. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted March 26, 2014 Super User Posted March 26, 2014 I only use 3 plastics until the spawn is over, and that is a 4.5" straight tail finesse worm on a 1/16oz to 3/16oz shaky head for cold water, a 5" senko, and a 3.5" tube, that is all I need until the warm water season hits.

Super User J Francho Posted March 26, 2014 Super User Posted March 26, 2014 Pick what you like. Often you can force feed prespawn fish. As always, you have to get the bait to the fish. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted March 26, 2014 Super User Posted March 26, 2014 I us everything but i always have senkos and zoom lizards with me Quote
