All Day Fishing Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 The most successful for me this year has been the Zoom Double Ringer Worm (Green Pumpkin) wacky rigged! I have never seen anyone use it and it kills it for me on Smallies and Largies! Also a popper has been working wonders, using the good ole Rebel Pop'R and the River2Sea Bubble Popper (Sooner)! My favorite baits though are jerkbaits, poppers, and any type of swimbait (glide, chatterbait, underspin etc.) Quote
Ralph Nicholas Vito Posted July 20, 2018 Author Posted July 20, 2018 What size ned rig would yall suggest for catching large mouth bass ? Like 1/8 oz? They all have the same hook size correct :? Quote

They all have the same hook size correct :? I only fish lakes. 1/16 oz. is the only weight I use. (1/15 oz. if it is a Shroomz head) You can fish from shallow down to 10-12 feet. if the weight is too heavy, it takes away from the baits action. If I need to finesse fish deeper, I switch over to a drop shot. If fishing current I would go heavier. 1 Quote

snake95 Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Favorite: Pop-R and Rapala Skitter Walk My most successful: Biggest pond bass - about 80% of all fish over 4 lb: buzzbait, any color. Top producer the $4 Dick's banshee in the 3/8 size. Consistent producers: Zman finesse TRD and 1/15 oz mushroom head Yum 3" grub on a similar mushroom head Keitech Swing Impact Fat: any size any rig. If I had nothing else, I'd want 4.8" on a swinging jighead. (in warmer weather and low light): Zoom horny toad with a superline EWG 3/0 or 4/0. Overall reliability: Zoom trick worm, weightless texas-rigged 1 Quote
sfpalatka Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 No doubt my most fun and favorite lure to fish is a frog. I love the explosions and the anticipation of that bait being hammered. Most of my biggest fish came from buzzbaits, chatterbaits, frog baits, spinnerbaits and my biggest bass over 12lbs was caught on a Carolina rig lurking in the deep water in February. 1 Quote
Super User Mobasser Posted July 21, 2018 Super User Posted July 21, 2018 Plastic worms various sizes styles and colors are my fave and most successful lures. I try to be versatile but plastic worms have caught me more fish than any other lures Quote
J.Vincent Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 In 2018: Favorite : Sammy or Zara Spook Most Productive: Texas Rigged Yum Christie Craw or Texas Rigged Havoc Pit Boss Quote

Have you found a RC 1.5 color that doesn't work? That is my favorite crank and Copper Perch has caught me fish everywhere. Allen 1 Quote
Dens228 Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 My most successful lure, by far the most bass caught, is any Senko style stick bait in 5 inch length, color varies. But I get bored with it........lol My favorite lure, which I do decent with, is by far hollow body frogs......I mean really! What beats the adrenaline of the blow up followed by the screaming f-bombs with the missed hookset? Quote

Like 1/8 oz? They all have the same hook size correct :? If you need to go heavier than 1/16oz, just fish a shakyhead because that's all you're doing at that point anyways. There's different sized hooks. A lot of newer ones come with "New and improved larger and stronger hooks to handle big fish", because bass are such hard fighters. I pour my own, I use 1/16oz exclusively and pour them on a #2 hook which is "way too small" for bass. I've landed flathead catfish over 20 pounds on them in under 5 minutes, and they're just a regular gauge wire hook, nothing extra heavy or anything. The smaller hooks allow for the subtle action of the tiny baits and easy penetration of the hook with minimal hookset. My most successful and favorite baits are a homemade jig and homemade bladed jig. 1 Quote
