Brett Stair Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Curious... if you could only use one bait per technique what would that bait be? (give hook choice etc if specific) Weightless Texas Rig - 5” Senko on a 3/0 EWG hook Weighted Texas Rig - Zoom Ol’ Monster on a 4/0 EWG hook Stuff I’m still trying to find my favorites on... Shakeyhead - Drop Shot - Wacky Rig - Carolina Rig - Ned Rig- Quote
Super User Mobasser Posted January 17, 2019 Super User Posted January 17, 2019 The only way to know what your favorite will be is to start fishing them.My #1 favorite is a plastic worm, Texas rigged. I use different worms, hook sizes, weights, etc. Too many variables to pick one. It's hands down caught more fish in 35yrs than all other baits I've used. I don't fish as many different teqniques as some do, but I don't feel I'm missing out. For much of the season, a T rig worm is that good. Quote
FCPhil Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Just about all my hardbaits I made myself. I don’t fish soft plastics much but for them I would say: Weightless: Cabin Creek Oval Sinking Worm on 4/0 Texposer hook. Jig: Santone Lures Swimbait Jig head with Boss Skirt Jig trailer: Zoom Super Speed Craw Texas Rig: Netbait C-Mac 15’ worm Dropshot: Strike King 3x elaztech finesse worm Frog: Teckel Sprinker Frog Quote
RyneB Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Just give me a bunch of terminal tackle and a 100 Pack of 3.5 inch tubes and let me work. 2 Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted January 17, 2019 Super User Posted January 17, 2019 For wacky rig: •1/16 oz VMC wacky hook with weed guard •5 inch Berkley Maxscent General or Kalins WAC-O-Worm (baby bass color). Either brand works as well as Yamasenkos, but has stronger scents, are less expensive, and more durable. •Clear wacky worm sleeve sold by Cadman’s Custom lures (much better than O-rings) Lights out!

Tyler28 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 In the warm spring and really hot summer time months like 95 degrees or more in the evenings or 70 degrees in the mornings throw a Holla popper or a frog or any topwater and you will catch a hog promise u or throw any bottom bait when its hot in the day time bc they are on the bottom in the hot summer time like that i throw a wacky or texas rigged senko on hot days or cloudy days.

Super User Cgolf Posted January 17, 2019 Super User Posted January 17, 2019 For me it would be a 1/4 ounce slider pro spider head and a 3.5" Water Red Tube. Close second would be the same slider head and a 5" Kalins Ron's craw grub. Both baits and colors catch em in all water colors I have encountered. 1 Quote

If there is ever a lure and a presentation that would bore me out of my mind it’s putting 2 inches of a worm on a tiny jig head and dragging it slowly across the bottom... Quote

I only fish a ned rig or drop shot if the bite is tough. There are several ways to retrieve the ned rig. I very seldom drag it across the bottom. I use it for smallies much more than I do largemouth To me the drop shot is the most boring. reminds me of watching paint dry. I occasionally use it , but it is definitely a last resort bait. T rig - Ol monster Shakeyhead - trick worm Drop Shot - roboworm Wacky Rig - senko Carolina Rig - super fluke Ned Rig- 1/2 zinkerz Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted January 19, 2019 Super User Posted January 19, 2019 One of the things I like most about bass fishing is that bass will hit a wide variety of lures. Because of this I do not have one favorite lure and instead enjoy using several types of lures. There are times that a specific lure works the best but it is not a guarantee that lure will always be the best in every situation. With that said the best thing to do is spend time on the water, learn what the bass bite in the area you are fishing in, and with time you will be very consistent at catching bass. Quote
