lbirch14 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Just picked up three new bait. The Strikeking Crankbait 4s, 5 inch pumpkinseed senkos, and a Rebel Pop-r. I have heard nothing but good from these lures. If you have any experiences let me know! Thanks 2 Quote

hunterPRO1 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 caught many bass on the strike king cranks, i prefer a shad pattern/ color and a smaller size, alot easier to get bass to hit that small crankbait rather than a big bulky one, senkos are good but over priced, for this reason i buy the yum dinger. rebel pop-r is a great popper and poppers are my favorite topwater lure. 1 Quote

GORDO Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Ive caught several 5+ LMB and SMB on the Pop-R. For the squarebill, I swear by gizzard shad color in the 1.5, If youre in a boat/on a dock give the 3xd a try! As for the senko, they are legendary for a reason. If you can afford the GYCB, do it. When they rip, turn it into a NED rig and keep on catching! 2 Quote
CrustyMono Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 You can also Texas rig the senkos, use them as a wacky work, and then make them a bed rig bait 2 Quote

primetime Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Pop-r is a winner. 3 pops and a pause. Boom 1 Quote
primetime Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 OnI recently picked up some new lures which people suggested and I have always heard the Jackall Popper which is $15 is really good. I have a box full of topwater lures jammed full of all brands, I use the Sebile Splasher, R2 Sea, Heddon, Duo, Yo-zuri's, Zell Pops, but after using the Jackall pop Grande without any success the last 2 times I hit the local ponds, I naturally grabbed the trusted Rebel in standard size, caught a few right away in the same spots, then switched to the Magnum saltwater version and picked up 2 good fish. Last evening walking my dog, threw the Jackall for about 15 casts, had one fish, different pond, tons of smaller fish, put on a Rebel in similar size and color, had probably 3 fish in 8-10 casts. I don't know why, but the Rebel almost always works best for me when it comes to poppers. I also like the tiny one in clear/blue head. I add a better treble to the smaller ones if using more than 10lb test, but I have no need to pay top dollar for a popper again other than the Duo 64 which is just a good lure, same with the Sebile splasher with the colors and design, Owner Stingers, plus that scale effect inside just works some days, I fish the smaller version and the big 128 but I almost always gravitate toward a Rebel topwater, even the T10-T20 Walkers have replaced many lures for me. Price and pretty paint are not always the answer, I will keep trying the Jackall, but we give a popper the action, not the lure. Rebel has a sound that is hard to replicate I guess. Lead rattle maybe? Quote

Small but good for the spot I was at. On August 24, 2016 at 0:17 PM, GORDO said: Ive caught several 5+ LMB and SMB on the Pop-R.

I tested it out and I put little force on the hook and it started to bend. I just need to replace it and I should be set!

Ya I was looking for a smaller size but couldn't find any. I wasn't really lure shopping so I just took a quick look and got what I saw. All the reviews are good for the crankbait so I'll try it out. I haven't had any time at all to get out. 1 Quote
