livemusic Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Other than a Rattletrap, lol. If Rattletrap is good, let me know! I haven't fished this type bait in 40 years. Lately, I have two reports of good numbers. A friend told me today he and wife caught 67 bass last outing! I know where he fished, we'll see! Do you have a favorite brand/model? What type of line, I guess fluorocarbon or mono? I don't fish much open water and don't like losing baits but I have some spots to go, plus I bought a plug knocker, lol. Quote
DumBassFishin Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I think cotton Cordell makes some cheap ones. Of course there's rat l traps. Strike king probably has a KVD and I absolutely love their squarebills. Unfortunately I haven't successfully fished squarebills before so I'll just shut up now and let someone more expirenced than me give you some advice. Quote
corn-on-the-rob Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I grew up a Rat-L-Trap kid from my dad, now we both love the strike king red eye shads. Great action, great finishes/selection. A lot of guys on here like using multiple brands due to subtle differences than seem to make a difference sometimes. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Red Eye Shad is just about all I throw anymore. Great bait. Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 3, 2016 Super User Posted March 3, 2016 Rat-L-Trap More colors More sizes More options 1 Quote
RHuff Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Livetarget makes a good shiner lipless have got several on it! Quote
livemusic Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 BTW, is there a size that is best for bass numbers rather big ones? Quote
Ads7633 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Rattletrap, Strike King Red Eye Shad, Booyah One Knockers, and Spro Aruku Shad are all great and will catch a lot of fish in the right circumstances. I like the 1/2 ounce sizes best. Quote
Gungun96 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Another vote here for the Strike King Red Eye Shad. I have caught countless fish on the gold and black back finish. Quote
blckshirt98 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 +1 to the Rat-L-Trap and Strike King Red Eye Shad! The LuckyCraft LV series are also awesome but pricey. Quote
Wprich Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Rippin rap by rapala and the red eye shad are my favorites Quote
GoCougs14 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Im interested to try the spro aruku shad, anybody have very much experience with them? Quote

Stock hooks are sharp. I throw a spro aruku when I want to fish fast. When I'm yoyoing it's a red eye shad or lvrto. The rattle traps catch a lot of fish but a lot of them aren't lmb 1 Quote
Midwest Fisherman Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I've had success with Rat-L-Trap, great success with SK Red Eye Shad and their 2-Tap, also the new Berkley Warpig was a huge success for me. I'm a straight braid fisherman. Quote
livemusic Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 The 2-tap with the unique sound, that is interesting. Hmmm. Do you guys have favorite colors? Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 3, 2016 Super User Posted March 3, 2016 I like them all . The Bayou Boogies work well also . Quote
Midwest Fisherman Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Can't say I have a favorite color but I caught 19 over the weekend on these. Top right is the 2-Tap I was throwing. Quote

Super User F14A-B Posted March 3, 2016 Super User Posted March 3, 2016 You can spend more money if you want, but imo, nothing works better than a Rattletrap. I've used a whole bunch of makers too.. Quote
