Hawkeye21 Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Don't forget a top water frog lure and a chatterbait. Quote

I have a frog but no clue where and when to use it. i also have some poppers in blue and white. how about swim baits like the small minnow/shad type with the upside down hooks? Quote

As long as you have some type of top water bait. I find the top water bite to be best in the late Spring to early Fall. I always look for lily pads or other kind of vegetation on the top of the water, places where bass would be hiding underneath. That seems to be the best place to start but I've caught bass in open water as well. Quote
Super User king fisher Posted April 21, 2017 Super User Posted April 21, 2017 You have more than enough in that list to catch bass. The original Rapala is on of the best top water lures ever made. The other lures in your list can be cover all other depths, seasons, and conditions. If catching bass is your only criteria, then you are set with what you have. As far as living a complete and satisfying life as a fisherman, you are just getting started. A good fisherman has way more lures, than they will ever be able to use. Buy two of everything in 5 different colors, then use three or four that you have confidence in and work for you. Then carry the rest around with you for that secure feeling you have it all. I do know people who keep the Bait Monkey at bay, and catch more fish than me. I live for the day one of them asks to borrow a lure from me they don't have. The day may never come, but I am prepared. 1 Quote
Super User Spankey Posted April 21, 2017 Super User Posted April 21, 2017 What you have will catch bass. Are you new? How have you done with what you have? If you are new how did you come up with what you have? Quote
crypt Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 yes, you always need more tackle. pages 31 through 95 of the latest BPS catalog should suffice. all of it.. 2 Quote
Damn Yankee Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 I belive research has shown,you need 25% more than you can afford. I recommend using what you have and learn how to use it before adding more. Good luck. T Quote
