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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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. :-[

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.

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. sad3.gif

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.

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.
