tbone1993 Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I've got money to blow on baits from a certain online website. What would you get this time of year looking toward the spring? I've got it all but am always looking for something new. For instance, I'm going to pick up a few huddle bugs since ive never thrown them. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Suspending jerkbaits, lipless cranks and flat sided cranks are staples for me this time of year. I'm going to experiment with blade baits and jigging spoons this winter too. 1 Quote

Super User Angry John Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Check out some stuff from DUO. I just ordered my first lipless from them but i have some of there small cranks for trout and early spring bass and crappie. i also have a m65 that i like. There very detailed and so far they are holding up great. Jerkbait or 6 for winter or spring??? 1 Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 I'll 2nd the Duo recommendation. I have a handful of their baits and they are really nice. Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I'd like to try some of those huddle bugs myself. I don't think I've ever seen any soft plastic so realistic! In spring, one of my favorite baits to throw are strike king squarebills. Cheap, and they just plain work! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 30, 2014 Global Moderator Posted November 30, 2014 Every spring I go on a jerkbait buying binge. I'm a sucker for a pretty suspending jerkbait 1 Quote
warpath58 Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 If they have the Imakatsu clackin craw I would pick up as many as you can. I got 2 last month and have been killing them with it. 1 Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Could always get your feet wet in the swimbait market.....you know those ones that only work in California. 1 Quote
tbone1993 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 Could always get your feet wet in the swimbait market.....you know those ones that only work in California. I've dabbled in the huddleston market from time to time and some of the optima swimbaits. The only time I throw them is on big clearish water lakes though. In Illinois I'm mostly fishing in dirty muddy water and flipping lay downs and cover so I dont get much time on deeper lakes. Quote

I fish a lot of dirtier, shallow lakes as well. If you don't have a MS Slammer you're missing out on some vicious topwater strikes, even in the dirty water. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted December 3, 2014 Super User Posted December 3, 2014 If I had money to blow......I'd try any Megabass product. IDK, I just think they're awesome. Quote

Super User fishballer06 Posted December 3, 2014 Super User Posted December 3, 2014 Living in the north, I know I'll be throwing squarebills, jerkbaits, and creature baits come spring time. With that, a good bit of my BF purchases were Arashi's, Aska's, Pointers, Rogues, and Brush Hogs. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted December 3, 2014 Super User Posted December 3, 2014 Swimmingbapes. All the rage I hear. Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 3, 2014 Super User Posted December 3, 2014 Biffle Bug. Then check out JIKA rig on YouTube for how to fish it the Biffle way. Quote
Matthew2000 Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Jackall pompader, if your looking for a realistic craw search ideal baits or rm baits on Google they have a very cool craw. Quote
annexation Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Huddle Bugs on a Bitsy Bug jig are smallmouth killers. Catch a ton of largemouth on them, too. I take the fan part off the tail off then thread them right onto the hook. Awesome in clear water! Quote
