thinkingredneck Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 We post a lot about favorite techniques, difficult techniques, etc. What have you just never tried? For me, it is c-rig, drop shot, whopper plopper, walk the dog,, fluke. Quote
JLindsey Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I’m a fairly new angler, so the list of techniques I have tried is probably shorter than the list of stuff I haven’t. I just bought my first baitcasting outfit yesterday and now I’ve got a whole new world of stuff to explore this year. I’m probably most excited to try out frogging, working a jig around timber, and throwing big swimbaits. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted March 28, 2019 Super User Posted March 28, 2019 Whopper Plopper. Tokyo Rig. I'm still not buying into the Whopper Plopper snake oil. 1 Quote

Glaucus Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Tokyo Rig because it's an expensive silly looking gimmick. Alabama Rig. Never fished a spoon. True swimbait (fished smaller ones but I've never fished one of the big ones). 1 Quote
PAbasser927 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Glide bait, Swimbait, A-rig, Flukes, Tubes, Spoons, Walking hard baits, Tokyo rig, Mojo rig, Neko rig. I am only in my 3rd year of bass fishing so I am working on dialing in the techniques I am good at before investing time on the water to learning new techniques. I have a handful of techniques that I have confidence in for each part of the water column and branch out to learn more on the days I can’t buy a bite. Quote

Ksam1234 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I have never ever drop shotted .. I always want to but I find other things work better I guess 4 minutes ago, Glaucus said: That's a shame.

NittyGrittyBoy Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I'm another, haven't bought into the whopper plopper scam. To me it's just a hardbait trying to be a buzzbait. Seeing how I hardly fish a buzzbait, whopper plopper was a easy No. Y'all enjoy them. Quote

Seeing how I hardly fish a buzzbait, whopper plopper was a easy No. Y'all enjoy them. How is it a scam? It's a little expensive but it will last forever unless you put it in a tree. It accounts for dozens of nice fish for me every year. It also isn't like a buzzbait at all. You can't pause a buzzbait. You can pause a Plopper. It's more like a buzzbait and a popper made a baby. It's a fantastic bait. 2 Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted March 28, 2019 Super User Posted March 28, 2019 C-rig and A-rig. I have tied on a C-Rig a few times but never fished it for long as the weight kept wegding in rocks. My state limits A-rigs to two jigheads so it never seemed worth the bother. Quote

Sometimes I can get two bass on a Trickworm rigged this way but it’s not a sure thing. It’s a decent rig for throwing a really lightly weighted plastic into the gaps between pads though. Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted March 28, 2019 Super User Posted March 28, 2019 A-Rig, Tokyo Rig, Double Fluke rig, structure spoon, chicken rig (I guess? had to look it up). Quote
Scuba Steve Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Honestly I’ve never tried the float-n-fly. Want to try it sometime soon but I just don’t get it. 1 Quote

Want to try it sometime soon but I just don’t get it. I started to include that one. But then I remembered I have used it a handful of times. My version of it made dead sticking a Senko feel like throwing a buzzbait. Did I mention it was slow . . .? #couldnottakeit A-Jay 2 hours ago, Ksam1234 said: I have never ever drop shotted ..

Super User MassYak85 Posted March 28, 2019 Super User Posted March 28, 2019 A spoon. I've fished johnson silver minnows and daredevils plenty but I don't use those big jigging spoons. Quote
NittyGrittyBoy Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 @Glaucus if it works have at it haha. Ive watched the whopper plopper videos too. I have friends that fish with em, I just have my preferred topwater baits I throw! ? Quote
