I bet you could make a 'hairy hot wheels car' that would get bit if you drug it slowly on the bottom. Ha, yeah I can see two lure designers having a bet to see if it would work. Somebody lost a crap ton of Yen because Holy Smokes they catch them. Panfish dig them too. 2 Quote
Super User Darth-Baiter Posted March 22, 2023 Super User Posted March 22, 2023 NOPE. nothing new..but I will tell you all about it if I catch some new PB with it. just bought it YESTERDAY! it just SCREAMS "California DELTA!" 3 minutes ago, PotatoLake said: Ha, yeah I can see two lure designers having a bet to see if it would work.

CM-fisher Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 I bought my first topwater popper, the berkley one, not a huge deal but hopefully I'll get some nice blowups on it this summer. I will also be trying out weightless fluke fishing with some SK caffeine shads. Otherwise all of my tackle purchasing has been re-stocking Quote
Pat Brown Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 I tied on a jerk bait today so I guess add that to the list. I caught 3 and had 2 get off so I'd say my confidence skyrocketed with that one all at once! Here's my first ever jerkbait fish! 5 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted March 22, 2023 Super User Posted March 22, 2023 Thought of another one I going to try.... Looks like a promising Ned bait. Rabid Fox Tail. 1 Quote

I used to make something like that, it works great, but not sure it adds much once the water warms up a tad. They will catch for sure. Quote
TriStateBassin106 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Berkley stunna warpig, that new zoom topwater swimbait toad and the megabass sleeper gill and sv3 spinnerbait. I already caught a 3lber the other day on the sv3.. 1 Quote
thediscochef Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 berkley's Gilly has been out for a while, but I'm gonna throw it for the first time on sunday and during spawn after that. I'm gonna be on a boat so I'm going to try doing a mojo-style rigging - pegged worm weight about 18-20" up, with 110 gilly side hooked on 3/0 offset shank EWG & 1/32 nail in the nose. I'm hoping to create a bit of a nose-down hunting type action. Like the gill is gonna swim around and then inspect the lakebed for food. I feel like this will be especially effective during spawn. When I'm on the shore of the shallow cove, it'll be a heavy C-rig but I'm probably gonna peg a black bullet-style float up against the plastic plus 1/16oz nail in hopes of slowing the fall rate but keeping it upright. Detecting strikes with the C rig will be an issue but a pegged weight will get slipped down the length of the line from shore. Sunday will be probably still pre-spawn with maaaaaybe an early bedding fish so I'm expecting to wear out the mag flukes/lizards, chatterbaits, and lipless. Might even bring a paddletail, I did get some of berkley's dark sleeper clones, the 1oz variety Quote
