Super User tcbass Posted May 7, 2014 Super User Posted May 7, 2014 This will be a hard one. What fishing bait style do you think accounts for the most bass on average? Topwater, frog, crankbait, spinnerbait, buzzbait, senko style, jerkbait, texas rig, swim jig, jig & pig, swimbaits, etc..... Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted May 7, 2014 Super User Posted May 7, 2014 With all the wind in my area a spinnerbait has been the most effective. Quote
Super User Catt Posted May 7, 2014 Super User Posted May 7, 2014 Texas Rigged Plastics hands down! Casting, flipping, pitching or punching Winter, spring, summer, or fall Bank shallow out to ??? 4 Quote
Mccallister25 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Id be willing to say, for anglers as a whole, jigs and t-rigs account for more bass than anything else. For me personally, its jigs. Quote
Bass Junkie Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Most bass nation wide? 5" Texas-rigged soft stickbait. Quote

ClackerBuzz Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Texas Rigged Plastics hands down! Casting, flipping, pitching or punching Winter, spring, summer, or fall Bank shallow out to ??? v-e-r-y well said Quote
Missourifishin Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Crankbaits for me. But from reading on the internet, I'd say plastics and jigs overall. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 7, 2014 Global Moderator Posted May 7, 2014 Texas rigged plastics probably catches more fish every year than anything else. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted May 7, 2014 Super User Posted May 7, 2014 Texas rigging plastics (idk what it is but when I can't get a bite on anything else a Senko ALWAYS produces fish it must contain fish crack) I much rather fish 1.) Frogs 2.) Frogs 3.) Frogs 4.) Crankbaits 5.) Chatterbaits [thats my new obsession caught me some big fish the few times I have been throwing them. Never thrown them until about 2 weeks ago or so] Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted May 7, 2014 Super User Posted May 7, 2014 Texas Rigged Plastics hands down! Casting, flipping, pitching or punching Winter, spring, summer, or fall Bank shallow out to ??? Yes Sir! Quote
frogflogger Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 plastic worms, I include senkos in this category - you can take a 4" to 6"plastic worm anywhere in the country any season and catch fish. Quote
deadadrift89 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Texas Rigged Plastics hands down! Casting, flipping, pitching or punching Winter, spring, summer, or fall Bank shallow out to ??? So true !! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 7, 2014 Super User Posted May 7, 2014 Soft plastics by a large margin. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted May 7, 2014 Global Moderator Posted May 7, 2014 Soft plastics by a large margin. Totally Agree Mike Quote
tholmes Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Texas Rigged Plastics hands down! Casting, flipping, pitching or punching Winter, spring, summer, or fall Bank shallow out to ??? ^ Yep! And it ain't even close. For me, the next most effective would be crankbaits, followed by jig 'n' pig, spinnerbaits, then everything else Quote
Super User WRB Posted May 7, 2014 Super User Posted May 7, 2014 The lowly soft plastic worm doesn't win as many tournaments today as it did in the past when the Texas rig was the dominate presentation. The Texas rig with a sliding bullet weight, isn't as popular today with the average bass angler. If you combine all the different soft plastic worms/creatures including heavy salt worms (Senko) with the T-rig, C-rig, drop shot, split shot/mojo, punch rigs, No contest. Soft plastics dominate the numbers of bass caught everyday and night year around. Tom Quote
Zach Dunham Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 For me personally it is definitely a spinnerbait. I fish it so many different ways and times. Overall though I would agree with what seems to be the consensus, and that is texas-rigged soft plastics. Quote

It maybe weightless, weighted, or pegged it's still a Texas Rig! The Texas Rig is about the hook & how its embedded in the plastic, the weight was optional from the beginning. As much as it kills y'alls ego a Punch Rig is a Texas Rig with a bigger weight, we've thrown that down here on Rayburn & Toledo Bend for 4-5 decades...it aint new! Quote
Super User WRB Posted May 7, 2014 Super User Posted May 7, 2014 Kills my ego, what isn't Texas about about Texas rig? Agree the weedless hook into a plastic worm has become the Texas rig, wasn't always. Florida rig was the pegged weight "punch rig" back in the 70's. Texans can make the claim they invented modern bass fishing and I agree, it all started there before Ray Scott came along. Tom Quote
