J.Vincent Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Depends where the tournament is held and what time if the year. My confidence bait periodically changes with the conditions. 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 15, 2019 Super User Posted February 15, 2019 This time of year it would be a lipless crankbait, jig and craw, and a bladed jig. Quote
Super User Mobasser Posted February 15, 2019 Super User Posted February 15, 2019 Depending on time of year, over all mine would be 1plastic worm. 2spinnerbait. 3jig Quote
primetime Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Swim Senko...Gambler Big EZ either on a swim jig, punch skirt in front, or just a light bullet weight, or my new favorite is the Megabass Spark shad on an Owner weighted hook......Then pitching a soft bait either a big straight tailed worm, Fat max, or beaver/speed craw style bait... Then if I just need some strikes I break out a really light carolina rig and start chucking a Rage menace or Finesse worm, or will throw a floating Rapala or long a over submerged weeds. Its hard to not get bit on a floating rapala especially if you can get away with 8-10lb test mono, or if stained, 20lb braid and some days that is all I need. Long A gets bigger fish, but the Rapala gets alot more attention. Thats kind of my arsenal...I tend to swim a rage craw or speed craw on top instead of a toad, this way I can make a long pitch and swim it back to the boat or spin around and just cover water. I get bored pitching even though that is usually how the bigger fish are caught. I enjoy it when with someone who is much better than me at finding fish, this way I know that I am in the right area... I also feel that bass get pounded over and over with the same 1.5 oz weights and BB crickets all day long, usually the best spots get pounded, but sometimes you can get lucky and get an offshore spot or submerged vegetation to yourself.

Super User WRB Posted February 15, 2019 Super User Posted February 15, 2019 Whatever I caught bass on before the tournament. I prefer using jigs, worms and swimbaits. Tom Quote
Super User scaleface Posted February 15, 2019 Super User Posted February 15, 2019 When I use to fish tourneys Texas rig lizard's dominated .Nothing else came close . Of course I used them the most . Second and third , there are numerous lures tied . Quote

Glaucus Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 It depends on where I'm fishing (lake, pond, river), what time of year it is, and what I'm targeting (LMB, SMB). Baits that never let me down are... Senkos Ned Rig Squarebills Lipless Crankbaits Whopper Plopper Chatterbaits Quote
