Mojo Bass Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 So I was out on my local lake today trying for some early season smallies it’s still quite cold here I think the high today was 8 degrees and periods of rain….. so I was throwing a red eye shad just letting it hit bottom and then just a sweep and kill retrieve seeing if I could get a bite and then I got this surprise catch! point being what can’t the red eye shad catch ?? also quite the ambitious little rainbow isn’t he 11 Quote
Finessegenics Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Awesome stuff! That reminds me of the rainbows I caught while fishing for bass. It was quite the surprise. I fished a tiny mountain lake (couldn't have been more than 25 acres) which belonged to the owner of the cottage which I had rented with a few buddies for a long weekend. The two predatory species were largemouth bass and rainbow trout. I figured, heck I don't much about trout, especially not ones that live in a lake so I'll focus on the bass. After a night of partying, I went out to the lake alone to try to catch some bass off the dock in the shallows. I was fan casting with a 5-8 ft running crankbait and pulled up a nice rainbow. It caught me by surprise. 5 Quote
papajoe222 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 I've caught every species from flathead catfish to crappie using them, so that's no surprise for me. 3 Quote
Super User LrgmouthShad Posted March 17, 2022 Super User Posted March 17, 2022 Lipless mimic baitfish so well that they seem to fool many predators. They fool some giant bass too. wish I could have more consistent luck using them. 1 Quote

I was defiantly surprised to see that little guy on the end of my crankbait 1 Quote

QED Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Lipless crankbaits work well for inadvertently catching striped bass where they co-exist with largemouth bass. That's not a bug but rather a feature! 1 Quote

BlakeMolone Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Well they can’t swim straight with even the tiniest bit of grass on them, I only have two but both get unbalanced way easier than the rattle traps and 6th sense lipless baits? 1 Quote
Super User Spankey Posted March 17, 2022 Super User Posted March 17, 2022 I’m one who most likely missed the boat and party with the RES. I do own a couple. And the RES has been around a long time now. For as long a I can remember I’ve fished the Rat-L-Trap along with some Spots very successfully, and I assumed they were basically the same. I just never got hooked. But I believe they are as great of bait as the Trap. 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 17, 2022 Super User Posted March 17, 2022 What can’t the red eye shad do ? I don't think they can tie an FG knot or do calculus. But then again, neither can I. They can catch some bass though . . . . A-Jay 4 5 Quote

Aaron_H Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 1/2 oz gold/black Red-Eyed Shad, ~26" long. They work! But can they see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch? 5 Quote

I wouldn't be too sure. I can't comment specifically about the capabilities of the RES but I've owned lures with extraordinary knot tying capabilities. I've seen them tie themselves to things in my boat using knots that no human could ever tie. The complexity of these knots suggest an understanding of mathematics far beyond calculus. 1 9 Quote

QED Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 The multiverse or many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is not the only view. The less elegant collapse-of-the-wave-function-upon-observation (Copenhagen view) interpretation is still a viable alternative and in either case you might get knots in an unpredictable state - I presume you are attempting to apply physics humor to this thread, but only mathematicians and physicists would get it. 3 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted March 17, 2022 Global Moderator Posted March 17, 2022 I’m still 0 for lifetime with redeye shad. I did get a hard hit on one this winter Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 17, 2022 Global Moderator Posted March 17, 2022 What can't they do? Well they make a terrible topwater bait. Stocker trout are dumb as a box of rocks, so that helps. I catch lots of them on jerkbaits fishing for bass. Caught one on a bladed jig a couple years ago. I've also caught 2 of them pitching 1/2oz jigs. I caught one on a RES last year my very first cast of the day fishing for bass. 1 1 Quote

DinkDreams Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 For me, catch fish apparently. I went out and threw one today, water temp around 48-50 deg. Use a lift and drop, slow retrieve, burned it, and had no luck. I also noticed it seems to run almost sideways, but that could just be my technique. They seem to “blow out” and even moderately fast speeds but I was also using an 8:1 reel Quote
