Super User roadwarrior Posted April 9, 2014 Author Super User Posted April 9, 2014 Was Northstar a "Top Secret" jig 2 months ago? Where have you been, I miss you sarcasm. "Secret Lures" is just a spoof to get attention. None of these are secret and I have posted reports of success on every one of them over the years or since introduction. The real service I hope a thread like this provides is a guide to building a small collection of tackle that gets it done! Good luck! 2 Quote

McAlpine Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Everyone sit down, I am about to blow the lid off this place...........my secret bait: A 5" green pumpkin stick worm Your welcome. I completely disagree and can't believe you would even mention that bait. This was supposed to be the "Secret Bait" thread with whatever the top producer in your box is. The real secret bait is: A 4" green pumpkin stick worm. Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted April 9, 2014 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted April 9, 2014 My humminbird. With Wayne's help on setup, it has my back to the bank and I'm catching more quality fish than ever. Fishing a fluke over submerged grass that no one else fishes has got my per fish average up to around 3 lbs. 1 Quote

McAlpine Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Ok seriously.... The one thing I know I can always get bit on when the chips are down. Cold water, warm water, moving water, doesn't matter. J7 Black and Silver jointed Rapala. Just flat catches fish anywhere. Quote
Super User Teal Posted April 9, 2014 Super User Posted April 9, 2014 Jigs- hop them, drag em, dead stick em, skip docks, swim them, stroke them, fish em deep, punch them. The only thing that really changes is the trailer or type of trailer and the weight and the head shape.

Brian6428 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Berkley Havoc 5" bottom hopper in black. It has caught me more fish on a dropshot than any roboworm or hand-poured plastic I have tried. Quote
Super User CWB Posted April 10, 2014 Super User Posted April 10, 2014 Alot of what RW said. My secret is the GYCB 4" Fat Ika, rigged backwards. Quote
Crankinstein Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Believe AJ already said the same thing but I don't have any secret baits just secret spots. I've got a secret cove or two on every lake around me. My go to baits are all really common, the only one that really flies under the radar is the Rick Clunn Freak Jr. which is a really awesome little crank. 1 Quote
Crappiebasser Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Mine is pretty basic but I have never been skunked fishing a 6" dead ringer in watermelon chartreuse on a Owner sled head. It works year round at any depth on every on every lake I fish. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 10, 2014 Global Moderator Posted April 10, 2014 Black and blue home made bladed jig. When I'm in stained water and need a big bite, that's what I reach for. 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted April 10, 2014 Super User Posted April 10, 2014 My top secret lure is a Heddon Big Bud. Doesn't mean I use it though. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted April 10, 2014 Super User Posted April 10, 2014 Top secret lure? That's all the lures in my tackle boxes that catches fish. Secret? No way Wal-Mart has them, dicks sporting goods has them, so does BPS and Cabelas too. Just pick one and practice your presentations with it. The bass will let you know when you get it right. This is a lure It's special to me It catches bass When nothing else works This lure is mine There are other lures That are like it But they don't work Like my lure does This lure is mine 2 Quote
