Your favorite/most reliable baits for pressured lakes.

[keltonz]

I'll list a few:

 

1. Roboworm in Morning Dawn, MMIII, or Green Pumpking, either on a drop shot or light shakey head

2. Zoom Super Fluke in Watermelon Red or Albino, rigged weightless and fished slowww

3. Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craw in Green Pumpkin Gold on a light t-rig or shakey head

Been turning to the Creme Scoundrel, too, lately...

I’ve had some success here recently with the Falcon Lake craw color. I like that color for my SK magnum rage bug and Rage craw. Works really well on a T rig soft plastic and if you throw it on a jig. Strike king offers a falcon lake color hack attack jig to pair up with those baits as well.

Okay here is my list ill I’ll be ordering based of the recommendations from this topic. Please let me know if I left anything off or need to add/change anything

 

Zoom baby brush hog - green pumpkin, watermelon w/red flake

zoom super salty fluke - watermelon w/red flake (have several in green pumpkin already) 

zoom trick worm - watermelon w/ red flake, green pumpkin

GYCB - Fat ika - watermelon w/black flake

GYCB - Senko 5 inch - watermelon w/black flake (I have some in green pumpkin already) 

GYCB - 4inch - watermelon magic

YUM warning shot - green pumpkin

VMC weedless wacky rig - 1/8 and 1/16 oz has 1/0 hook. ( got these to cover all wacky requirements instead of getting these and wacky hooks on top of it)

Gama EWG 2/0 hook (already have some 3/0 I think these should let me Trig all the soft plastics) 

Gama Aaron Martens TWG drop shot hook size 1

bobber stoppers ( I have some 1/4 bullet weights already, figured I could use these with those for a drop shot rig instead of buying more weights)  

 

 

I would just get some 3/16 and 1/4 oz drop shot weights. The tear drop shape that QuickDrops makes are quality weights at a good price. They are lead, but if you have lead bans, then omfishingsinkers.com sells tungsten drop shot weights at a cheap price.

 

I would also suggest getting some 4" Roboworms in Oxblood Light Red Flake, Aaron's Magic, and Morning Dawn. Those three colors should get you bit most places. You can add MMIII or Margarita Mutilator if there is some stain to your waters. 

 

But, the Green Pumpkin YUM Warning Shots have been a go to for me lately. I seem to get bit on those pretty consistently. You can also add the Morning Dawn Warning Shots as well. I have gotten bit on those in clearer water.

Wacky rigs and shakey heads are pretty much my go to. I mainly use yum dingers because of the price of Yamamoto baits and Power Team Lures 7" Finicky Tickler for shakey heads.

I also think you should change up colors.  You want something dark, something gaudy and something natural.  You need black, brown, tan, green, purple, red, maybe pink or yellow, white.  Don't limit yourself.  You need some with glitter and some plain.  Don't forget Junebug!

Just my advice if there are a lot of bank fishermen then I'm guessing they don't skip/flip docks, I would give that a try.

T-rigged Senko fished reeeaaaal slow. Works every time.

I fish derby’s on a small clear lake that gets pounded with pressure. When the bite gets tough I always go to a Neko Rig or Ned Rig to get a limit or even get a bite. Neko Rig has been money this year.

i also use both also on pressured lakes.

the ned rig can catch big fish, but you have to catch a lot of small ones in the process.

 

This year the Neko, with a 6 inch trick worm, has produced some good sized fish for me.

I use it in the same places as I would fish a shakyhead. a lot of the time the Neko will catch more than the shakyhead.

As mentioned, a drop shot.  If traditional drop shot baits aren't working, I'll rig up a drop shot fluke.
