Blues19 Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 I think most of us have read Ike's article about his "Panic Box". I have not made a panic box, but there are some baits I will throw when I feel like nothing elses is working. For me its an 1/8 oz T-Rigged Lil Critter Craw or a 4" Centipeed on an 1/8 oz Spot Remover, both fished super slow. Ive caught so many fish on those baits its crazy. If there is a cold front or nothing else is working, what do you take out to boat a few bass? Quote
ChrisWi Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Dropshot. Even in the worst conditions a dropshot puts fish in the boat Quote

Super User rippin-lips Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 As much as I don't enjoy fishing painstakingly slow. I'll throw a 4" stick worm weightless wacky if I need to boat a few fish. Quote
ColdSVT Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 The cooler?...ya know that place where the cold beer is?? I usually go to my finesse box when i am panic mode or to the reaction baits It really depends on what i have been trying that day 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 I don't need two baits, I'll take one bait with three rigging options. A 4" finesse worm nose hooked on a drop-shot, the same worm wacky rigged on a 1/16thoz. wacky jig, or the same worm on an 1/8th oz shaky head. If it's windy, I'll adjust the drop shot weight as needed, bump the wacky jig up to 1/8th oz., and the shaky head up to 3/16thoz. Quote
The Wilkin Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Fluke then senko. Two really versatile and proven baits for me. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 At first, if I start to panic I start to cover new water w/a spinnerbait. Blade and color based on conditions and forage. Then from there I pick apart w/a light shakey head or T-Rig Quote
poebassin Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 1. wacky rigged senko (PANIC) 2. berkley powerbait power worm in red shad rigged weightless Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 "Ned Rig" and a hair jig...but neither is in a "panic" box - they're year round staples. -T9 1 Quote
smallieking Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 senko and jerkbait will always trigger strikes when fish are inactive. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 Senko Trickworm Quote
Joe Schmuckatelli Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 A trick worm or sadly a senko Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 Sorry, I don't panic.... 1 Quote
Super User Raul Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 I don´t have a "panic box" for a very simple reason, I never panic. 1 Quote

desmobob Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I don't panic over fishing (except maybe when I fall in when wading in a deep and fast river...) but when the chips are down, I throw a wacky Senko. If I can't get anything on that, I figure it really doesn't matter what I throw next (which is usually a spinnerbait). Tight lines, Bob 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 28, 2014 Global Moderator Posted December 28, 2014 I don't panic but when I need to catch a fish I'll either be fishing a shakyhead with a trick worm or dragging a jig. 1 Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 Panic lures....beetle spin and a chartruese curly grub 2" Quote
papajoe222 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Original floating #7 Rapala C-rigged. #3 Mepps squirrel tail. I really have a hard time dead sticking or slowing down much more than a C-rig. Quote
Super User Catt Posted December 29, 2014 Super User Posted December 29, 2014 Like Alonerankin2 & Raul, I don't panic, neither am I afraid of being skunked! 1 Quote
