Most Productive Technique?......(For Numbers)

[Todd2]

I'm surprised crankbaits aren't mentioned more. It's my ultimate numbers lure when it's on.

Being on biting fish.

I'm surprised crankbaits aren't mentioned more. It's my ultimate numbers lure when it's on.

I have a secret hole on a public 200 acre lake.Personal boats are not allowed and so very few people have depth finders. Its about 6 foot deep surrounded by four foot of water and has four stumps on the edge. Theres been days there when I  have caught fish on most every cast   with a Fat Rap .

back in the day when i was 10 or so me and my friends would ride bikes to the farm ponds all around us it was no trouble catching 100+ bass each a day on beetle spins  so beetle spins get my vote for most bass and they also worked on yellow perch and white perch same days.i have a advantage where i live i can go from a farm pond to brakish water most places i fish with just a few feet from each other.

T rig

[gardnerjigman]

Crank Telephone, dynamite...???

 

 

In all seriousness a t-rigged baby brush hog in watermelon red with a 3/8oz bullet weight will catch a ton of fish and range from dinks to hawgs. 

[BassinLou]

When I fish in the glades, if I just want flat out numbers, I will throw a 4" stickworm or zoom centipede and catch bass all day long.

You need to get you some skunk repellent.

 

Hah....that would be a good name for an attractant scent spray - skunk repellent. 

Most definitely...

 

That would also be a great name for an attractant! Lets copyright that and get crackin on the anti skunk formula!

[hatrix]

A drop shot probably. I have only used a ned rig a little and it's pretty solid for numbers and size.

For all out numbers or any species maybe those little poppers for fly rods on a UL. Everything hits those.

[annexation]

A t-rigged creature is the closest thing to an all-conditions winner for me. Retrieved slowly always finds them. It also comes through the grass like a dream, which is great because most of my water is very, very weedy.

 

Specifically, I tend to favor the Havoc Pit Boss with a 3/16 bullet weight. But I'll use heavier weight in wind or when fishing the 10 ft.+ zone a lot.

 

I love learning new techniques, so I always make it a point to try something new every time I'm out. But when that isn't working and I just want to catch fish, I pick up my t-rig rod.

Sounds like that would kill whatever action the senko had left.  

 

Might it make more sense to wacky rig a smaller senko(3 in)? 

 

 

not really

[KayakBasser]

     For me,even though this tactic is relatively new,i would have to go with a 3 inch senko on a 1/16 ounce mushroom jig head......N.E.D.rig.

For sheer numbers: 'live earthworms'

Whenever I take out a new angler to introduce bass fishing it's usually a med spinning outfit, easy to learn to cast. The lure of choice, depending on the season is something that can be fished without hanging up all the time and will catch bass.

If the bass are not in cover and on more open rock structure areas a 1/8 oz dart head jig with a 5" curl tail worm is a good choice. If the bass are tighter to cover, then a 1/8 oz slip shot 5" straight tail worm works good good. I like to use single hook soft plastics, easy to unhook without harming the bass.

Spinnerbait for me.

[Fishing Rhino]

In no particular order.

 

4" Senko wacky rigged on a Gamakatsu wacky jig head (where you can fish with lead) in MA I use a Jackall wacky tungsten jig head, Shaky head 3/16th ounce Vike tungsten with a 4" SK super finess (elaztech) worm peanut butter & jelly or coppertreuse, Fat Albert or Rage Tail grub on a 1/8th ounce Keitech super round tungsten 2/0 hook, Keitech swing impact fat, Lunker City swimming ribster or grubster (a smaller version of the ribster) clear water color or silver flash, all rigged like the grub on the above Keitech jig head,  A Yamamoto flapping hog (watermelon w/ blk and red flake also rigged as the above.  A Rage Tail Menace watermelon red flake or green pumpkin with purple and gold flake also rigged on the Keitech jig head.

 

Everything else being equal, I prefer the shaky head setup because the Elaztech baits will last forever, or until you lose them, whichever comes first.  The grub baits and the Rage Tail Menace are pretty durable.  While the flapping hog is a good producer, it can be pulled apart by panfish.
