New Lures/ Baits

[roadwarrior]

Another suggestion for 2016: Fish your new stuff when you are on a good bite. There is no way to judge a lure when the fish aren't biting!

This applies to colors also.

Good advice that I wont follow .

Interesting I never thought of that. I have a few senkos colors that I have no confidence in (pink, white, red) wonder if I cold get red of them this way.

Leave your confidence baits at home when you want to try something new, or at least bury them in the bottom of the boat.

Give those pink senkos a chance. I have had my arse handed to me more times than I'd like by non boaters using using a bubblegum senko.

I will have to give it a shot. Only because you have the same boat as me in your thumbnail. Diff color but same boat. If only mine wasn't still sitting in storage under wraps.

Those bubblegum gum senkos get demolished by lmb in clear water fir me if nothing else seems to work. Its sorta silly till theres a 4 lber eating it

Why are so many guys afraid to throw a pink bait?  The way I see it is that I'm trying to impress that big female bass not the other guys in the boat.  If she wants pink that's what I'll give her.

It's my favorite Trick Worm color. My buddy has a pink X Rap that works as well.

I feel like I can get a bite on a black-blue T-rigged Chigger Craw even when they "aren't biting".

[roadwarrior]

Yeah, we all have "confidence" lures, but sometimes with the new stuff it's a random draw.

RW is right on about trying while they're hot....  scaleface right on about me forgetting to do so and sticking with what is catching at that moment....

I have caught my fair share of bass while panfishing with pink plastics, and while drop shotting pink trout worms for walleye. Mostly in the springtime. Definitely give them a shot!
