billmac Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Do you have any of those lures that you just love the look of, and just can't catch fish with it? Quote

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted February 17, 2020 Global Moderator Posted February 17, 2020 Yeah I got boxes full of them. Spinnerbaits crankbaits and jerkbaits 1 1 Quote
GrumpyOlPhartte Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Most of ‘em. But spinnerbaits are my nemesis. Never had luck with them. Then, the summer before last on a cloudy, breezy summer day I nailed six bass in the one-to-three-pound range in less than an hour. Since then ... nothing. Man, I hate spinnerbaits!!! As for white and chartreuse - I don’t believe you can catch a cold with those things. Ok, I can’t. Gotta give me credit for trying though.? 2 Quote

Large swimbaits, sometimes jointed, that glide back and forth. They are often huge and shaped just like a fish. Not a minnow size like a keeper crappie size. I feel like they started as Muskie baits and evolved into bass lures 2 Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted February 17, 2020 Super User Posted February 17, 2020 Beetle Spins. I've used these ever since I was a little kid, and the first and only time I have caught a bass on one was about 11 years ago. Quote

I've used these ever since I was a little kid, and the first and only time I have caught a bass on one was about 11 years ago. That's amazing, because I hardly ever put them down because they have worked so well for me. To be fair, I use Meeney Spins, but it's basically the same thing. Quote
Dens228 Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Another glide bait. I don't get it. I try and try. I think I've caught one bass on a glide bait. Quote
Finessegenics Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I've never caught a single fish on a chatterbait. I've thrown them for hours with nothing to show for it. 1 Quote
suzuki2903 Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 chatterbait as well. i have yet to catch anything with one. 1 Quote
DanielG Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Another Ditto on the chatterbait. Funny because I love fishing with it always thinking that it will be irresistible but deep down knowing that catching anything with it is probably not going to happen. Quote
Hartwood71 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I have to admit, I was told for years about some silly plastic bait. People said it was great; a next-level finesse bait that bass just couldn’t resist. I bought a few packs, tried them out and had no luck. Tried again and again with no luck. Then they sat, for about five years, taking space up in my tackle box. I tried only a couple more times. Then one year, I watched my buddy crush me in a little challenge. After that, I found my stride and it’s hands down become my most productive confidence bait, helping me catch three of my four largest LMBs. The bait: Gary Yamamoto Senko Moral: Good advice needs a willing listener. 1 Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted February 18, 2020 Super User Posted February 18, 2020 For y all that don't want those glide baits, ect...you can send them to me @... 1 2 Quote
keagbassr Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Man is this a trick question?, the answer is NO! If it doesnt catch fish I don't like it. 3 1 Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted February 18, 2020 Super User Posted February 18, 2020 Anything by LiveTarget. (Actually, that's not completely fair -- I've gotten the hollow-body frog and the crappie crankbaits to work. But they're all overpriced) 1 Quote
Tizi Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I think nearly any lure will work if you fish with it long enough and especially around active fish. I saw a guy on YouTube catching them with a lego Chewbacca. Quote

Mbirdsley Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Curly tail worms and Senko style worms wacky rigged. I’ve gotten swamp crawlers to work wacky rigged and senko style worms to worked t-rigged. Can’t buy a bite with them. Quote

I have a couple live target crankbaits. they looked awesome in the store. they are great at catching fishermen. they suck at catching fish. 2 Quote
