dam0007 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 right now fish are super finicky up here and from what I've heard most northern states. Probably a good time to focus on smallmouth in deeper areas. Quote

MrPeanut Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I usually reach for a football jig, but I need to work on deep water in general, I'm terrible at it Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 None of the above. Deep for me is a jigging spoon. 2 Quote
Super User senile1 Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 It depends on your definition of deep and the type of lake you fish. I fish some lowland reservoirs where 20 feet would be deep fishing. I fish some highland reservoirs where 50 - 60 feet is deep fishing. For lowland reservoirs, I favor a football or brush jig depending on the bottom. For highland reservoirs, I like a jigging spoon with a dropshot not far behind. These aren't the only lures I fish deep but I seem to have the most success using them. 1 Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 Drop shot or a jig. Quote

Super User iceintheveins Posted July 11, 2015 Super User Posted July 11, 2015 For 10 - 20 feet I would say crank. Deeper than that, carolina rig or football jig. If the crank fails to produce in the 10 - 20 range, out comes the latter two. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted July 11, 2015 Super User Posted July 11, 2015 Don't overlook slow rolling a spinnerbait in deep either, it just has tremendous fish attraction power. 1 Quote
Joycer81 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I fish mostly for bronze backs and spend most of my time throwing a drop shot Quote
Super User FishTank Posted July 11, 2015 Super User Posted July 11, 2015 Going deep means jigs in any dark color. 1 Quote
zeth Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Unable to respond to poll as my favorite is whatever would be best for a given situation. If I had to choose though it would be a blade bait. Or maybe a drop shot. or maybe a c-rig or maybe a big heavy jig and swimbait combo. I can't decide. I mean I've caught bass in over 50' on a Keitech Salty Core in the middle of winter. A very slow way to fish for sure but it worked. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted July 12, 2015 Super User Posted July 12, 2015 My deepest running bait is a "Jig-&-Craw", but not a football jig (not in Florida) Roger Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 12, 2015 Super User Posted July 12, 2015 I need your help, I really want to know who manufactures dropshot and shakeyhead ? are the available in several sizes ? anybody got pics of dropshot or shakeyhead ? Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted July 12, 2015 Super User Posted July 12, 2015 Jig a lot of the time or a hudd Quote
dumfish Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 C-rig/mojo for deep, most flat structure. Texas and jigs for deep sloping structures Quote

blckshirt98 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I fish from shore only so don't get to really fish deep water but if I did I'd probably give some of the deep diving crankbaits and dropshotting first crack at it! Quote
