Andrew Wolf Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 If I only had the option to take 3 baits for bass fising the 1st, sorry to break it to you guys but it would have to be any type of "stick" bait. This is a obvious because you can rig it in so many different types of profile & presentation either it be Wacky, Mojo, Shaky, Drop shot, Carolina, Taxes Rig, etc... I usually use the "Yum Dinger 5" Color: Green Pumpkin and or Black & Blue flake with a 3/0 or 4/0 EWG offset worm hook either weightless or bullet weighted with a Texas or Wacky Rig. (Why because it is my favorite finnese style rig either in open water or in thick cover. It Works like a charm, and it is my go to bait when everything fails). 2nd, would be a Suspending Jerk Bait. My favorite is the "Rapala X Rap XR12 4 3/4", 3/4oz." Color: Clown. (Why because of the versatility of the lure, the ability to cast far and it having a distinct Action that attracts bass; it suspends to depth of 4~8ft and you can jerk it, pause it, reel it slow or fast. And the color I chose seem to attract bass pretty well in both Clear and Dirty waters). 3rd, Last but not least I had to give it to the Finesse or Flipping Jig. I like to use a Jig and Craw method. Specifically the "Strike King Bitsy Bug or Flipping Jig 1/4oz. with a Strike King RageTail Craw" as a trailer. Color: of course black & blue and or Green pumpkin? (Why because I can drag it, bounce it off the bottom between rocks and I can throw it in the thickest covers). Like everyone I catch the biggest bass when it comes to using jigs and the reaction of hooking a bass is quite satisfying ? What are your Top 3 favorite baits and why would you recommend them?? 4 Quote
ratherbfishin1 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Are the ponds, lakes, rivers, etc still frozen in Virginia because this is a winter thread, it gets asked each year. But if I had to answer here's the list... Coldwater- Carolina Rig with a hollow body frog (work it very slow) Mid temperatures- An A-rig rigged with buzzbaits Warm Water- Bull Dawg (big lures = big bass???) 2 Quote

Hahahahaha, Whopper Ploppers are great but you can't expect it to be a year round bait and catch bass in the winter when they are lethargic and in the deepest part of the water.? 1 Quote

AggieBassin10 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Top 3 for me have to be a 5" stickbait in a green pumpkin. A 5" swimbait in a white color. And a whopper plopper in any natural color 4 minutes ago, Andrew Wolf said: Oh yeah I almost forgot about the Mushroom Jig By Z-Man with a Finesse TRD. Those are great ? Never tried this...

Nah, just in general throughout the year baits. I just like finesse type tactic fishing more then power fishing. I would of included any type of squarbill cranks but I could only choose 3 so ? 1 Quote
