Night Fishing Lure Choice?

[chris55552]

Going to try my hand at night fishing again and was just wondering what others would recommend?

[F14A-B]

3 baits for me...

Football Jig

1oz spinnerbait

10 or 12" Powerbait ribbon tail

[Raul]

It´s not the most productive but I love it ----> Jitterbug

Much more productive: spinnerbait and lipless crank.

[Catch and Grease]

Anything that works during the day can work at night, I like anything black!

[Dypsis]

I've only been night fishing a handful of times but dark colors seemed to work better for me.  +1 for spinnerbaits.  

[iceintheveins]

Big black, single bladed spinnerbait, buzzbaits, jitterbugs, and large swimbaits that are fished near the surface.

Chatterbaits are awesome as nighttime baits

[Heron]

Black skirted buzzbaits with grub trailer.  Black spinner baits with a single No. 5 Colorado blade.  And a Ragetail Shad.

[Ginosocalbass]

Topwater wakebait, try a jackall mikey.   I have been retro baiting lately and throw a devils horse, catches tons of fish. 

[whitwolf]

The three I use:

 

Zoom 8" big dead ringer in black or red shad.

 

Black single colorado blade spinnerbait.

 

Black/red jig or beaver bait.

It's fun to use topwater baits at night but really, any bait you use in the day time will work at night.

MS Mini Slammer, any of the bigger "rat" style wakebaits, chatterbaits and spinnerbaits (singleblade colorado blade) darker skirts.  Did I mention rat style wakebaits.

The only difference between night and bass fishing is our ability to see well. You fish the same type lures you have success with during the day at night.

Where I fish nocturnal terrestrial creatures are active around the shoreline. I tend to fish the bank areas more at night and fish the deeper structure zones a little less, but still check those areas out.

Lures; DD14 & DD22 deep diving crawdad and shad color, jigs with 4" to 5" trailers, 9" to 13" soft plastic worms Texas rigged, rat wake baits, bluegill swimbaits, noisy surface lures. I prefer lures with a more stead retrieve pace at night.

I go night fishing pretty often from June - Oct. I have my best luck using spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and buzzbaits. I tend to fish in water less then 10 feet, usually 6 or less. The thickest weeds beds, inlets, and outlets produce well for me. A buzzbait reeled over the thickest weed beds produces some jarring strikes. Personally I like to use a plastic four bladed buzzbait with a twin grub trailer. Use a trailer hook on every thing.

seems like a good choice...I stole Maico's pics here.

Jitterbug for me

[Bluebasser86]

Bladed jigs are KILLERS at night. The strong vibration, good profile, and the fact they can be retrieved nice and slow just seems to be a deadly combination. I like solid black, black/black/blue, and green pumpkin at night. 

 

Jigs, 10" worms, and swimbaits are pretty much the only other baits I fish at night. 

[papajoe222]

Culprit Ribbon Tail consistant'y produces at night for me, but a Spook catches more big fish at night.

Black jointed Jitterbug

Black buzzbait

[Slade House]

deadly deadly lure is a deps buzzjet in black either the regular or the junior,
