gunsndrums1 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Does anyone have a favorite or go to lure that they use? Mine would be and original floating rapala in "silver" and firetiger. Or a hula popper or jitterbug in a frog color. Seems nothing can really match a rapala since they are very life like and swim great in the water. And topwaters are so fun to fish and produce great numbers. Quote

DocNsanE Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I wouldn't say I have a go to bait since I try to fish the conditions, but I guess if I am not having any success I'll usually revert to a wacky rig. That being said I have a favorite in most types of baits. yum dinger F2 in Ozark Smoke caffeine shad for a soft plastic swimbait (I have to get my hand on some Keitech's though) Rage craw for a craw imitation Big bite kreiture bait for a creature Zoom Super Fluke (I have to get my hands on the GrandeBass Flash after the review that was posted last week) Rapala Original F11 Silver or Gold for a floating jerkbait Rapala Husky Jerk for a slower presentation (only tried those so far, got a BDJ 115 in MTB that I can't wait to throw) Hula Popper in frog color or Zara Spook for top water, or a double bladed buzzbait Jitterbug in black for night time fishing Frogs I have a couple and they all seem to produce equally I don't have much confidence in my spinnerbaits, crankbaits or jigs at the moment so I can't say I have a preferred for either of those presentations. Kind of funny because those seem like real go to presentations for a lot of people. My goal this year is to really build confidence in jigs. Quote
The Fisher Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 If I had to narrow it down to one it would be a 5" GY Senko in Baby Bass. Quote

Super User jbsoonerfan Posted March 26, 2015 Super User Posted March 26, 2015 Lure, lures, what's the difference? Lol If I had one it would be a Xcalibur XR50 in Rayburn Red Quote
Zach Dunham Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Spinnerbait or chatterbait are easily my favorites Quote

To me, a "senko" is a stickbait, much like to many people a "RatLTrap" is a lipless crankbait, or a "Rogue" is a jerkbait with the bill below the head. I have several different kinds of senkos, including the Yum Dingers, Shimmy Sticks, and the original GYCB senko. I have not seen enough difference in scent or action to really distinguish any of them that much. I usually stick with the Yum Dingers because I can get them for 2 bucks. Quote

Mccallister25 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 No doubt my top two producing lures are a 5/16 oz jig and rage chunk, and a super spook Jr. My favorite lure to fish with is a jig. Quote

FrogTastic Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Frogs all the way! I like some weird baits, not really into baitfish imitators too much, except flukes. I like senkos and trick worms though. I'd have to say lizards and Mann's Hardnose Snakes work pretty well though. As for Rapala lures being all that realistic, I couldn't disagree any more. I'm gonna be starting to sell some pretty realistic baits online soon. Not for a few months though. Quote

That said, I just got some of the Bizz Baits Sassy Stick, and I can't wait to use those. The vid on the website looks like that thing has some wild action underwater. I've always used the Senko, considering the facts that I hate YUM baits for some reason, and they don't have my go-to color (red/red flake). Pretty sure I've never heard anyone call any bait a "Rogue" except for the Smithwick Rogue though. Quote
Big C Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I'm gonna be starting to sell some pretty realistic baits online soon. Not for a few months though. Got any pictures of lures you've made yet? Quote
*Hank Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 My Go-To is a secret. Ok fine I'll tell y'all............Drop shot rig.....I won't be specific on what bait I use on it Quote
