Number lures for fall

[Chaddy]

What's some good lures to put numbers in the boat in the fall? I know people talk about jigs putting bigger fish in the boat but I just want to catch fish not worried about weight.

What type of water? What species large or smallmouth?

[Bassin' Brad]

Don't know the details on your situation but a Rat-L-trap is a good place to start. The little I've used one I like it. Chrome with blue back.

You need to let everyone know where you are located to determine how to help you.

1/4 oz pearl white chatterbait, Bone white with orange belly Mann’s Baby One-Minus and a small Squarebill (like a Live target Threadfin Shad Baitball Series) are great search baits for the Fall. My mind is only on Shad right now. 

 

Once you find em and want to slow down..... shakey head and Ned rig should get those numbers to rise.

The good ole' spinnerbait.

If you want numbers, finesse tubes, Ned's. All seasons.

Chatterbaits, square bills or spinner bait

Bomber Model A crankbaits .

When I want numbers and few bigger fish thrown in,  I just throw plastic.

The right plastic will work in any water anywhere.

I'm not very experienced, but I've had luck on rivers with Whopper Ploppers, Keitech Fat Impact 3.8 with a 3/0 EWG 1/8 oz, and Kailin's Grubs on a Darter head.

 

My buddies do well on black and blue jigs with trailers and the Ned Rig. I haven't reached that slower method of fishing yet.

I live right near Charlotte, and have been catching fish on faster moving lures like a buzzbait and a spinnerbait.

If you got water that you can fish a spoon in, I can't think of a better fall numbers bait.

I've never used a chatterbait. Do you use a trailer with a chatterbait? If so what kind? I probably buy a black and blue and green pumpkin. 

 

I just bought my first jigs in black and blue and green pumpkin. What kind and color trailer do I need to use with them? Are you supposed use trailer with jigs? 

[primetime]

I like To use Swimbaits & Soft Jerkbaits. I also like to use lighter line in the fall since usually I am around lighter cover, I also start to rely on lipless crankbaits more.

 

Kind of same lures that work all year, I like to rig a grub in the fall and swim it on a darter head, or rig a sluggo on a darter head and let it sink on slack line. Once I find fish,I then just slow down and fish the same stuff I normally use, Mainly a Jig of some kind, or shad style bait like the Keitech Shiner style which I really like lately.

Yes trailers help.  Large twin tail grubs are a great starting place for trailers.  The possibilities are endless.  I like flukes on chatterbaits.  Both are cheap.

Rat L Trap, match color and size to your area and conditions.

Thanks for the help on my stupid newbie questions. 

Where would I fish a spoon? What's a couple good colors to start out with on a couple chatterbaits?

In the Fall, it ain’t right if it ain’t white 

[scaleface]

All these baits mentioned work well all summer too . You may find the bass a little more aggressive some days or may not  but they still bite the same baits . 

[Bluebasser86]

Spinnerbait or bladed jig is probably my best numbers bait in fall. Fall is big fish time for me though, not time to worry about numbers. Numbers are a nice bonus if they happen, but this is when I'm out looking for those big fish 6+ that are much easier to catch this time of year.
