Hey Fellas; What baits do you always have rigged when you go out? Does not have to be a specific brand, but type of bait.

I usually have 5 rigs

Spinning with a Rapala #11 or a smaller wacky rigged worm

The 4 Baitcasters:

5 inch Trick Stick

Crank

2 types of jig heads and trailers

in mid summer this switches up from a crank to topwater plugs at night

and one jig rod gets a l spinnerbait

and sometimes a frog

Shore Fishing; I have an old metal single drawer OLDTOWN tackle box, with a good pond assortment One rod and reel, mostly the spinning rig

Assuming I am in a boat and fishing for green fish:

Fat Ika

1/2 oz Micro Munch Tackle jig/ GYCB Flappin' Hog or NetBaits Baby Paca Craw

Lucky Craft Pointer 100 or 128 (baby bass)

3/8 oz Cavitron Buzzbait (early), black on black

5/5 oz XCalibur Xr50 Rattle Bait (blue & silver w/ orange belly)

For brown fish:

Mostly a split shot rig and live bait!

LC Pointer

GYCB Fat Ika, Kreature or 5" Single Tail Grub

From the bank:

I only carry one rod, an assortment of soft plastic and jigs.

If I fish hard baits, usually just one "choice of the day"

I have four rods, and this is what I have been using for the last three weeks:

Megabass Griffon Crankbait Green back/orange belly clear sides

LC RC1.5 Blue back/chartreuse Crank

Terminator Green White Spinnerbait with two colorado blades silver and gold

Something either T-rigged or Weightless (10' Culprit Junebug Worm, Bass Assassin/Charm Assassin straight worm, Sweet Beaver, or an Ika.)

I've been doing very well the last month, better than I have ever done before...  I think it's a combo of the season, and a few things I've been working on coming together.

Right now, it's all about shallow crankbaits, jerkbaits, lipless crankbaits, and spinnerbaits.

I usually carry 4 rods, so this is what I usually bring:

-Weighless t-rig trick stick

-Shakey head or jig

-frog or spook

-crank

Posted

On my spinning rod I usually have a small shakey head with a roboworm or a tiny trap.

I usually bring 4 baitcasters

1. weightless setup for sinkos and ikas

2. t-rig setup for flappin hogs, kreatures, and brush hogs

3. A 'heavy cover' setup (braid) with a 3/8 jig and a flappin hog trailer

4. A Lake Fork Tackle magic shad swimbait on a chatterbait head.  (not really a numbers bait, but it gets big fish)

This is always what I start with, and if need be I'll change it up.

depending on lake or river im fishing but this is the usual:

5/16oz skirted jig with small craw trailer

small shallow crankbait (usually firetiger)

1/2oz spinner (white)

5 or 6 inch senko (watermelon or pumpkin) / fat ika (same colors)

shaky head with 4-6 inch worm

other rod usually has grub or tube

I was just out last night packing for this weekend's trip. I can't take everything so I try to get it down to a minimum. ;D ;D

One rod will have a 5/0 EWG hook tied on for Senkos and Ikas.

One for Flukes, switch to tubes if the shallow bite isn't there.

One with spinnerbait, switch to crankbait if needed.

One with a Shake2 head, for hula grubs, brush hogs and bacon rinds.

One for toads, switch to jig/trailer if the toad bite ain't happening.

One T-rig, first choice of bait a GYCB Big Kahuna Cuttail worm.

One with an Ike's Spike jighead and 3X worm.

Spinning gear didn't make the cut for this trip.

Geez Wayne: I have a 14 ft tin boat, if I put that many rods in there would be no room for me ;D

My jon boat is 12'.  I carry more than those when I use my bassboat.  I have 52 rod/reel combos plus some extra reels, so I have an adequate selection for various presentations.

Changing lures while fishing takes too much time, if the lure is not in the water, the chances of catching is slim, LOL

1st rod - soft jerkbait or soft stick of some type

2nd rod - shallow - medium diving crank, or a spinnerbait

3rd rod - popper or buzzbait
