Super User HoosierHawgs Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 Squarebill Crankbait , followed closely by a 5/16 ounce War Eagle Mike McClelland Finesse Spinnerbait. I find that if I had to have one bait in all conditions it would probably be the War Eagle. It's setup lends itself to versatility. Quote
OK Bass Hunter Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Football Jig and Rage Craw trailer and a T-Rigged Rage Lobster. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 This year I'd have to say a Jig and a shaky head. Quote
CeeJay Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 -Spinnerbait -Senko Honorable mention: Inline spinners, Power Grub, t-rigged Scoundrel worm Quote
Steveo-1969 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 This year on my river it's been 4" t-rigged YUM Dinger and 3" or 4" curly-tail grub on 1/8 ounce ball head. Honorable mention: 3/16 ounce SK Bitsy Bug jig with Baby Rage Craw trailer. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted July 18, 2015 Super User Posted July 18, 2015 I have to say a jig and a spinnerbait account for more bass for me than any other two. This year has been no exception. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 18, 2015 Global Moderator Posted July 18, 2015 Jig Bladed jig Quote
jbmaine Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Senko and coffee tubes. Not necessarily my favorite to fish, but by far the most productive. Jim Quote
Super User bigbill Posted July 18, 2015 Super User Posted July 18, 2015 BPS XPS Topnocker. Number 1. Discontinued. Rebel BIGCLAW CRAWFISH crankbaits. Smaller ones in shallow rivers larger ones in lakes. 2 Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted July 18, 2015 Super User Posted July 18, 2015 BPS XPS Topnocker. Number 1. Discontinued. Rebel BIGCLAW CRAWFISH crankbaits. Smaller ones in shallow rivers larger ones in lakes. +1 on the Rebel Craws, especially in rivers. I even caught a striper on one. 1 Quote
CeeJay Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 BPS XPS Topnocker. Number 1. Discontinued. Rebel BIGCLAW CRAWFISH crankbaits. Smaller ones in shallow rivers larger ones in lakes. I love those Rebel cranks...the craw, frog, etc. Some of the few cranks I have confidence in. I don't really hear much about them these days, but they're great. I rarely start a morning of Smallmouth fishing on the river without tossing a Rebel crank or topwater (CrickPopper or Hopper)....kind of a "secret" weapon for me I suppose. Quote
long island basser Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 5" stick bait rigged multiple ways, followed closely by a 4"ish beaver style bait, also rigged multiple ways. Same here.... Usually unweighted stickbait. Weighted t/rig craw/creature. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted July 18, 2015 Super User Posted July 18, 2015 If you are defining success as numbers of fish the most successful baits I have used would be a weightless plastic (either a Senko, Fluke, or Caffeine Shad) or a texas rigged soft plastic like a 7 inch ribbontail worm or craw/creature. Also keep in mind I have been fishing these for many more years than some others baits and presentations. Recently a drop shot has been killing it for me. If success is measured off of bigger fish it would probably be a jig or topwater frog. 1 Quote
Coherence Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Senko - 330, 358, & 912. Zoom Horny Toad 3/8 black blue jig is honorable mention with ultra vibe trailer or grande bass mega claws trailer depending on how much bulk and movement I want Quote
TwoCan Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 - T-Rigged Rage Craw (pegged, claws dipped in chart. or red JJ's) - RES Quote
masterbass Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 In the river: senkos and grub/jighead. In lakes: senko and fat ika Quote
Super User bigbill Posted July 19, 2015 Super User Posted July 19, 2015 The rebel BIGCLAW CRAWFISH crank caught my PB 10lber. 1 Quote
MN_Bassin Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Pretty much all I ever throw is a 3/8oz swimjig with a paddle tail trailer. If I'm not using that, its in the evening or morning and I'm using a buzzbait. Quote
Schuyler co Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 1. Jig and rage craw (prefer siebert dredge series in bama craw or summer craw) 2. Drop shot a trick worm in green pumpkin Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted July 19, 2015 Super User Posted July 19, 2015 This year my number 1 bait has been a 1/8 ounce watermelon jig with a craw trailer. Number 2 has been a chrome and black Pop-r. Quote
