I am planning on buying some bass lures what else do i need. I am getting, 1 Rapala floater perch color, one rapala floater silver color, some yum dingers, some brush hogs, a rapala skitter pop, a hula popper, a rapala ultra light pop, ribbon tail worms, 4/0 hooks, 3/0 hooks, worm weights, a Booyah Frog, some tubes, some Plano tackle trays. PS i dont like crankbaits for the shallow lakes i fish so that's the only thing I'm not looking for. THANKS!!!

Bait monkey wants me to add stuff

Spinnerbait, chatterbait, spook, popper 

[J Francho]

Those wouldn't all be my #1 brand/bait choices, but other than spinnerbaits, it sounds like covered the gamut.

okay what brands do you reccomend... and no i wont spend 20 $ on a lure

I also read a lot about jigs, what brand should I look for

[J Francho]

I've been throwing some Boo-Yah spinnerbaits lately.  They're not as nice as the custom ones Siebert has made for me, but man, they're durable, and get the job done.  Decent head shape for weeds, too.

[scaleface]

I would add a buzzbait  .

[Dorado]

I would add a white grub and a trick worm to the mix especially for shallow waters

[ohboyitsrobby]

Definately some type of spook.

All Terrain Tackle makes nice jigs at a good price

No whopper plopper? 

[IndianaOutdoors]

What rods and reels do you have?  Some lures don't work well on some fishing poles. Example:. 1/2 oz jigs won't work well on a medium light rod.

You're gonna tell me you don't have no whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chaser?

not as many as i need

[BassNJake]

Get a pair of long nosed pliers, some sort of safety/sunglasses, sunscreen and bug spray

[bigbill]

Rapala orginal floater in blue, f7 size. I call it the blue max.

 

manns baby 1 in browncraw. I call it the Hank Parker Special because I seen him in NH nailing smallies on it. I found out LM like it too.

 

get a manns classic 1/4 oz white spinnerbait with twin gold Indiana blades. I add a mister twister white 4" split double tail grub trailer with a trailer hook. These come with a blue glimmer skirt. It's the best for me.

 

i do the same setup with the manns classic 1/4 oz chartreuse spinnerbait but I change the skirt to the hot chartreuse, and add the MT 4" split double tail chartreuse trailer grub. W/ trailer hook.

 

note, to self, I have blue glimmer skirts and hot chartreuse skirts in the tackle room. There not easy to find. www.brannansbass.com carries them.

7" M Veritas is what I mostly use

Veritas runs stiff though, it's more like a MH/F

At the very least, I would add in some spinnerbaits. Since you fish in shallower lakes, a 3/8oz and maybe a 1/2oz would do -- get a Colorado blade if it's muddier water and dual willow or a willow/colorado for clearer water. Probably a chatterbait and some soft plastic shad or minnow trailers and a swim jig or two and some netbait paca chunk for trailers.

do keitech swimbaits work as spinnerbait trailers? I was looking at some Strike King KVD 1/4 oz jigs on BPS that look pretty decent. I would put some craw trailers or Brush hogs on the jigs for trailers.

I usually don't use a spinnerbait trailer just a trailer hook when the bite is slow, but the Kaitech's are one solid choice if you do. They also work well with a swim jig.

what length do you like

The swing impact fat 3.8s are probably a solid choice to start with but don't be afraid to try different sizes and colors too.

Too bad no crankbaits. I love shallow running cranks. Xraps - KVD 1.0s and 1.5s squarebills. And ultralight cranks. Rapala UL Minnows and Strike King bitsy minnows.

Since I don't own a boat, most of the places I fish are shallower water so I fish crankbaits on the same 17lb mono line I would use for a spinnerbait, chatterbait, buzzbait or a Pop R. I can still get a 1.5 squarebill a good 3 feet deep if I need to but I have the strength I need to pull my baits through weeds too.
