A new adventurous lure always costs me too much money

@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! ?

Which is cool, I just got caught up on the scam part. I don't know how it's a scam.

They're a scam dude.... they just want to be WP's

Theres too many to count. I dont even know what some of the ones mentioned are. 

  I bought a wopper plopper last summer. I wasnt too sure about it after the first lake ontario smallmouth that hit it broke the rear hook, but it's been ok since. It caught some fish. A super spook junior outperforms it greatly though.

I actually have a couple.  The first is the Ned rig.

The second is dangling my finger over the side of the dock and lipping a bass when it tries to bite my finger.  I don't plan on trying either.

[LonnieP]

Swim bait,Whopper plopper,C-rig,A*rig,drop shot, Ned rig or any type of finesse fishing. 

[Jrob78]

Ned rig, Whopper Plopper, Spybait, Neko rig, Tokyo rig, Float and Fly...I'm sure there are more.

[MN Fisher]

Swimbait, Whopper Plopper, Pitching/Flipping.

 

With the new rigs and a gift of a couple WPs, I'll be giving those last two a go this year.

I'm gonna toss a curveball in here and say Fly Fishing. I self-identify as a bass fisherman but I really like to dabble in other species and I really feel like i'm missing out on fly fishing for trout in Minnesota. There's some pretty awesome stream fishing in the state and someday I'm just gonna go to my local fly shop and go nuts. 

 

Catching skinny water smallies on a fly rod looks so insanely fun. Someday I want to make my own fly. 

[Catt]

Alabama Rig & a Ned Rig

 

Have all the necessary components just gotta take the time to do it.

[Mobasser]

Big swimbaits

[CrankFate]

A-Rig, Big Swimbaits, Tokyo Rig, Deep Cranking. Rarely use jerkbaits. Have used, but never use spinnerbaits.

[SC53]

Can’t say there’s nothing I haven’t tried...at least once. 

Now being successful with a particular technique or lure is another story.

Only caught one fish on a Plopper and still trying to get my first one on a dropshot but down here in Florida not a lot of opportunities for the shot.

I love fly fishing, especially on top.  I love to fish for Bass and panfish.  Tie my own.  Go for it!

 

And I haven't tried an A rig.  Being from Miss State, I can't use anything with the A word in it.

It’s a big meal but with enough beer and a break in the middle I could probably eat 1/4 of my body weight in one sitting like that bass tried to do. 

[microotter]

Trying this year for the first time: Ned rig, wobble head, dropshot, spybait, small hard swimbaits

 

no plans to try:

a-rig, c-rig, tokyo rig
