worst bait?

[Branuss04]

for me it's any "BPS" brand cranks.  I bought some when they were 5 for $5 and they are sooooo badly tuned I gave up.

ive never had luck with yum crawbugs or swimbaits

I bought some Bass Pro SHops brand lures way back, spinnerbaits and buzz.

The spinnerbaits were absolute garbage. The felt like Sh!T and fished poor. The buzz was way over weighted for prop size and I missed so many fish. The hooks were really bad to put it nicely, and buzz head ended up breaking on be after a few trips. I also bought 2 PBS brand rods. Both were heavy and clunky. Never buy BPS brand gear unless you are not picky at all.

Ah lets see: I have 2 BPS extreme reels, work great not a single problem, a BPS 6'6" Med Action Woo Davis Rod; Works and feels great caught a lot of fish on it all summer. I have 4 very beat up and highly sucessful BPS Bayou crank baits ( balsa model) ah , i don't get it :-/

Muddy I agree.  I have 3 Woo Daves Extremes and I think they are great, very sensitive.  I have caught a bunch of fish on 'em and they have been abused.  My 4yr old used one as a dip net for minnows and we caught a bass on it right after.  Try that with a Loomis and it won't be as pleasant an experience. ;D

Now their lures....I still think they repel the fish, but I ain't sure.

I would agree for the most part, but BPS has some new premium cranks that are packaged with a very similar look to Lucky Craft packaging, and they are located right next to the Lucky craft lures.  The cranks look like knock-offs of the Rick Clunn shad bait, and they work very well.  I use them in the potomac on smallmouth, and they crush them.  They look like LCs and are half the price...

I tied an old sweaty basketball sock onto a nice gammy hook and used a 2 inch Senko(watermellon w/black flake) as a trailor.  Didn't catch a d**n thing in 8 hours.  Worst bait ever.  Period.

A serious bad bait was the Vampire spinnerbait made by Mann's.  That was a real crock! They also made a spinnebait with a jointed spoon for a blade.  Durndest thing ever. Of course, Roland Martin's helicopter. And Berkley once made a leather porkfrog that was toughter than the siding on my house. This was about 20 years ago.  LOL y'all.

Vampire spinnerbait made by Mann's.

That reminds me of another bad bait by Mann's - The Undulater Spinner Bait.  I'll never forgive Hank Parker for that thing.

Well here's my "worst list"

#1- Senko  (worst bait ever produced imho)

#2 Fat Ika  (same as above)

#3  Micro Munch Tackle Jig

#4  Gizit Tubes

When it comes to reels.  Shimano's are crap.  Rods- loomis is crap.  

And line.  YO ZURI IS CRAP!

8-)

Your eyes better be brown cause you are full of chit senko s are one of the best baits ever made at least for in central PA when nothin else works I can generally count on a senko rigged wacky.

If senkos are so good then why would you use anything else?

-Dont fish my chatter blades often, but they've never produced?

-I know they work, but buzzbaits don'twork for me. Maybe I should retire my $0.97 wal-mart specials and buy a real buzzbait. Any thoughts or suggestions?

-Also, haven't caught anything on a beetle spin, but I know they work, and...

-The Storm Swimbait seems to be the most consistently agreed upon piece of garbage.
