Alan Reed Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 A Zoom Super Fluke. There is just something about that bait that works for me even others don’t get a bite. Quote
Way north bass guy Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I’m gonna go the opposite way of most guys, and say something fast to cover water. I’d say it’s a tie between a spinnerbait and a jerkbait. I’ll still use a lot of slower presentations but if I’m on an new lake or just trying to sort out what the fish are doing that particular day, I’m going to cover as much water as possible and try to get it in front of as many fish as I can. That’s my “confidence” way of doing it, and it’s a rare day I can’t produce some fish on one of those two baits. Quote
All about da bass Posted March 29, 2018 Author Posted March 29, 2018 Power fishing is a good way to start out on a new lake. When I find them that's when the slow fishing comes into play. Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted March 29, 2018 Super User Posted March 29, 2018 For me it would be a baby brush hog, trick worm, or centipede. Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted March 30, 2018 Super User Posted March 30, 2018 Whatever lure I'm throwing is the one I have the most confidence in... 1 Quote
desmobob Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 If I'm having a tough day and can't catch a fish on a Ned Rig (Z-Man TRD on a ShroomZ head), I had better head back to the launch... Second choice: wacky-rigged Senko Third choice: T-rigged Pit Boss Fourth choice: Jig and craw trailer Tight lines, Bob Quote
Basstrash Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I live in the deep south and I can always seem to tick off a bass enough to strike my spinner-bait. Burning, knocking off trees, or a straight fall usually gives me something. Plus it allows me to cover plenty of water to tell me to slow down if I need to. Quote
Russ E Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 while I use a lot of different baits, There is always a ned rig and a shakyhead/trick worm rigged and ready in my boat. Quote
Hutch13 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 A Smelt colored Berkley Powerbait Pro Grub on a 1/8 or 1/4 oz. jig head. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 30, 2018 Global Moderator Posted March 30, 2018 Depends a lot on the situation, but it's going to be a toss up between a jig, Ned rig, wacky rig, or bladed jig. 1 Quote
thinkingredneck Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I have a variety of plastics in Junebug and Candybug. Have most confidence in a trickworm. Quote

FishDewd Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Gotten to where the first things I try is a weightless T-rigged senko. If that fails after an hour, I switch to a wacky rig and try a few different worms. If that fails after another hour, I'm best off packing up and going home cause they either they aren't there or aren't biting. Senko is my #1 choice, I've caught more on that than anything else. Only gotten lucky once with a ned. Quote
