Favorite and most productive Fall Lure ?

[Pro Logcatcher]

Gotta love that spook bite. Might not catch them all the time but it's by far my most favorite topwater.

[BigAngus752]

HA!  The man lists eleven lure types and adds "other".  And "other" stays at the top of the survey!!!  This tells you just how much tackle crap there is for us dummies to buy!!!  Bait Monkey is the monkey on my back...

Well for me Favorite & Most Productive are not exactly the same.

Favorite for me means it's the biggest bass catcher while most productive, guess that one's self-explanatory. 

 

Favorite - big spinnerbait (with an Umbrella Rig not far behind)

 

Most Productive is a SK Rage Bug on a swinghead (and second place here is on another plant !)

Presently there are 60 votes and only 3 have chosen a Spook style topwater and only 1 has chosen a Sammy style topwater (myself). Considering what we know about bass feeding behavior in the Fall , doesn’t it seem odd there weren’t more votes in these categories ?

Rattle trap

Yesterday was a tough day for me on the lake. Had big ideas as to how larger worm fishing was going to produce. Well that was just a real bad thought. 

 

Went with one of my favorite Rat-L-Traps, seems like they always produce in a crunch. 3rd cast working my way back into a lay down and nailed a 2.80 lb. not a giant by any means but the last month has been a dink feast for me.

Which one is your favorite? I like the chrome with blue back. After half the paint is worn off from rip rap

At my local lake, it is a ned rig with Roboworm ned worm. Always bring a few..

It's was a cold one Saturday morning. Got into the mid-30's overnight. Struggled most of the day throwing traps, plastics, cranks, spinnerbaits, keitechs. Finally put on a white chatterbait with chartreuse trailer and got my biggest bass of the year. ?

Other, where I bass fish Threadfin Shad are the primary prey during the fall that bass target. My choices of lures for numbers of bass are structure spoons and tail spinner similar to Little George.

Big bass I use the same lures year around; jigs, big worms and swimbaits/wakebaits.

I actually have three favs. Chrome W/ Blk Back, Chrome W/ Blue Back and Gold W/ Blk Back. They are with me/on the boat all the time. Yesterday I had on chrome w/blk back. I was gonna throw the gold something told me to tie on chrome. They are all the same. Chrome and gold is chipped, backs are worn off and the gold is real light in color anyway. In my opinion they are the only ones that are needed for me. My other had not see the amount of use these have. I keep doubles and triples of these.

Chatterbait needs its own category

[scaleface]

I didnt bother to choose because its different every year . 

[bagofdonuts]

isnt a spook and a sammy basically the same thing, just two different brands of walking baits. 

[RSmall]

Shad colored Yum Dinger or Zoom Horny Toad.

 

We still have a ton of hydrilla on the reservoir.

You are probably correct ! When I realized I forgot this lure , it was to late to change the poll because so many had already voted.

Yes, and next time I will probably put both these lures into one category called Topwater Walking Bait. : )

[bowhunter63]

Spinnerbait or Rage swimmers.

[greentrout]

 

old school...still works...the venerable floating worm...

 

good fishing...

[Chris186]

Normally, its either a jig or Texas rigged plastic. Oddly enough, this year for me it has been crank baits and chatter baits.

Reading season posts reminds me of a basic bass fish facts; fish where they, not where you want them to be and use lures the bass want to eat, not lures you like to fish.
