riverbasser13 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Hey everybody, still kinda new on here and this my first idea for a thread so here goes.... What's your go to stealth presentation? By stealth I mean any time you need to sneak up on the fish, shallow or deep, cloudy or sunny, windy or glassy, boat or bank. For me it's a 4" senko or dinger in green pumpkin or watermelon red thrown on a 2500 Lews lazer speed spin and a 6'6" ML spinning rod (okay, its an ugly stik) and #8 yozuri hybrid. Lately I've been seeking out really shallow warm and sunny water and it got me wondering what else might work besides what I usually use.Thanks and good catchin! Quote

Preytorien Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Green pumpkin senko or tube bait on a spinning rig, 10lb braid with a 6lb flouro leader. That usually gets the job done, but I have one pond that even that will spook them. It's maddening when you see a huge *whoosh* by the bank and know you could've had a good one on! Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted March 25, 2015 Super User Posted March 25, 2015 Most anything plastic that isn't a chatter trailer or paddle tail. I have been working hard on my ninja skills the past year. If it isn't a reaction bait, I think subtleness and stealthiness has to be a positive 95% of the time. Quote

Super User WRB Posted March 27, 2015 Super User Posted March 27, 2015 Most of you confuse stealth with finesse. A 60 yard cast using a 10" swimbait or a 50 yard cast with a jig & pig can be stealty, nothing finesse about those presentations and they do not spook bass unless the lure lands on top of them.

primetime Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I have 1 suggestion you may want to check out since I am a fan of Yo-zuri Hybrid line as well. I don't have the chart in front of me, but I am pretty sure that the 6lb test is almost the exact same strength as the 8lb test, plus it is a thinner line which will give you more stealth and longer casts, if you visit the Yo-zuri site they have a chart. I believe the 6lb Hybrid breaks at 12.6 and the 8lb at 12.8 or something like that, the 10lb I believe is something like 16.4 so I have always purchased the #4 (it is over 8lb) #6,#10 for spinning tackle and I am comfortable with the 6lb Hybrid on my spinning gear and even the #4 early in the year and I am not a huge fan of the new ultra soft, it just doesn't seem to be as abrasion resistant. Hope that helps, and I hope that is accurate but pretty sure it is close as I remember using my phone when buying spools of it last year. Quote
