tallydude Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 So, what lure or technique are you worst with? I'm embarassed to say this, but I can't fisha worm to save my life. How about you? Quote
Skwerl Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Spinnerbaits. Other than a beetlespin many years ago, I've never caught a fish on a spinnerbait. They are obnoxious and clumsy to cast, and every 4-5 casts the line wraps around the lure so I have to stop and untangle the danged thing. I recently bought another spinnerbait hoping to improve my technique (and tolerance) with them but no dice. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted June 15, 2006 Super User Posted June 15, 2006 I'm with Skwerl on this one. The spinnerbait. Hate it and have no confidence in it what so ever .... and it's not for a lack of trying. I can count on one hand how many bass I have caught on a spinnerbait. Quote
splat_baseball51 Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 So, what lure or technique are you worst with? I'm embarassed to say this, but I can't fisha worm to save my life. How about you? same here dude, i can fish em but without many hookups, i usually have really good consistent success with a spoon or wobbler type bait aswell as topwater cranks Quote
KS_Bassin Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I'd have to say carolina rig would be my worst the only way i can feel a bite is if they take off running 500 MPH the other way. Quote
Mase31683 Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I have the worst of it when it comes to fishing a jig. I just do something wrong with it, because people sing the praises of the jig, pros say how if they had one lure it'd be a jig, and I cannot catch a fish on one. Finally, I pitched the thing under this dock, and as it's goin down, *WHAM* fish nails it, the darn thing jumps out of the water, shakes his head, and throws the jig back at me. Man, I still wanna catch fish with that thing! Quote
directlink Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Drop shotting... probably because i haven't given it a very good chance. Quote
Bass Hammer Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Drop shotting here also. Triton Mike gave me a lesson last year but, I have a long way to go. Quote
Redtail Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Anything that's not soft! I love fishing worms, Ikas and creatures. Everything else beats me up! I bet I've made well over a thousand casts with a spinnerbait only to catch a couple pickerel and one of those broke me off at the boat. I don't know how KVD does it! Quote
NiTrO 90210 Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I would have to say a jig. I have put some time in usin one but have never got a fish off one. Also drop shotting but I aint never tried it either Quote
Zebco202 Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I'm probably worst with Tubes, followed closely by jigs. Tubes I really haven't given very much of a chance and I really need to take a bag of them and go out and just work them. Jigs I fish nearly every time I go fishing, I just don't have much success. Quote
huskertko Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I have a tie for my worst, and drum roll please , they are a jig and the c-rig. I think it has more to do with confidence than anything else. I will try them for a while, not get a bite and move onto something I am more comfortable with. :-[ Quote
Jerkbate Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Tubes and jigs. I've never caught a fish on either one of them. And believe me; I've tried. Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 15, 2006 Super User Posted June 15, 2006 Buzzbaits, I just can 't catch squat with a buzzbait. Quote
langs15 Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Spinnerbaits...only had one dink and one huge one the dang thing. Never tried a crankbait........sad to say. Quote
pcorajr Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Well I think its better for me to say what im good at instead of trying to mention all the stuff I cant or have not learn how to use. Im good with jig's mainly small jig, swimming jigs and feather, bucktail jigs. I suck with everything else, i have caugth 2 fish on small cranks but honestly i have not given them a chance. Spinnerbaits are a joke, I feel like im dranging the bait trying to collect weed samples. senkos are to slow for me, or better yet, Im to impatience for senkos. Quote
goldenmonkey Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 cheetos, they just wont stay on the hook Quote
Valascus Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I am really bad with a carolina rig...can't say I have ever caught a thing with it. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted June 15, 2006 Super User Posted June 15, 2006 No doubt about it, the 'overhead spinner' is my nemesis. Oh yah, I've caught a boatload of bass on the spinnerbait, but based on the total time spent, it should be 4 boatloads of bass > It's gotten to the point now where I'll only use a spinnerbait in murky water. For this reason, I only throw a single Colorado with a gold blade (max throb). Even at that, unless I'm whacking them with the spinner, I'm already thinking about the next lure, while I'm still cranking the spinnerbait. Roger Quote
northgabassfisher Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 crankbaits are the only thaing I havent caught many fish on I just dont know what Im doing worng Drop shotting here also. Triton Mike gave me a lesson last year but, I have a long way to go. drop shotting is like my go to bait for now till spring I love it. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted June 15, 2006 Super User Posted June 15, 2006 My weak point is the drop-shot rig. I've actually never used it. I catch fish on the c-rig but I think I could improve myself there as well. Quote
BassKing813 Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Spinnerbaits and rattle traps are my weak points, both supposedly "fool-proof" lures, because I have never caught bass on them. The only thing I've caught on a spinnerbait is a bowfin Quote
Infamous005 Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 have never caught anything on crankbaits. Quote
Guest avid Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Carolina rigs. I never liked it so therefore stink at it. I recently bought a GLoomis BCR875 so now I have a good rod for the heavy weights and long leaders. I'll be doing some serious C-rigging once my self imposed "off season" ends. Quote
