Only three techniques

[FellowAnglers1]

If you can only pick three techniques for bass fishing what would it be? My top three will be texas rig, swim jig , jerkbait.

[Bird]

Jackall flickShake 

Spinnerbait 

Jig

[Tackleholic]

Spinnerbait, Wakebait, Texas Rig.

[GRiver]

Texas rig

shallow crank 

top water

[bp_fowler]

Spinnerbait - My most consistent reaction bait 9 months out of the year.

 

Texas Rig - Most versatile, worm, creature, beaver…bottom contact or swim them lots of options.

Weightless Soft Plastic - fluke, senko, trick worm.  Flat out catches fish for me in various types of shallow cover.

Frog

T-rig creature 

Vibrating jig

 

I’ll play by the rules but just three is hard.

[A-Jay]

The Tiny Child Rig

Eight Trap Method

Doodling.

[keagbassr]

Buzzbait

Spinnerbait 

Punch rig

1st 2 were easy but it's tough to leave a frog off for the punch rig as there are always pads to frog and I can throw it April to Nov. And punchable weeds can be weather fickle around here. But when they're up and the weather is right it really is fun.

3 techniques:

1) Cast and retrieve

2) Pitch to visible targets

3) Hop/shake/drag on the bottom

[Brian11719]

1. drop shot
2. texas rig
3. chatterbait

[Pat Brown]

'topwater'

'moving baits'

'bottom contact's

 

That bout covers it.  🥹😂🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

 

Okay seriously - how about just two 😎👍🏼

 

Frog 

T Rig

 

I dunno why but that's my confidence - I can make it work most of the time with one of these 2 guys.

 

In the warmer months I'd throw a spinnerbait on that list and in colder months I'd throw a lipless on that list if I HAD to pick a moving bait.

 

99% of bass fishing is putting a lure where they live and getting them to commit to biting it and it seems like big bass all agree that these two lures are pretty irresistible.

Jig

Topwater

Ned

[king fisher]

1.Hard baits

2.Soft baits

3.live bait.

I would hate to limit myself, but If I was forced to be more specific, I would choose 

1.Top water

2.Bottom contact

3.Mid water.

 

[CDMTJager]

Chatterbait/willowchatter

Frog

Weedless fluke weightless and weighted

The times they are a changin’

 

A month ago my answer would be different. But right now it’s:

 

Swim Jig

 

Texas Rig

 

Chatterbair

[river-rat]

 

This is easy. These 3 are always on the deck. 

 

Jig, Texas Rig, Spinnerbait

Even though I'm not actually limited to three, that's 90% of what I fish with.
