What is your favorite "Bite"

[airborne_angler]

By this I mean do you prefer the plastic worm/Jig bite where you have to time it just right and then cross thier eyes? Or do you all prefer the bite like fishing a spinnerbait,where you are on a retrieve and then suddenly theres a fish on,and depending how big it it,it just about rips the rod out of your hand.

I like the soft plastic/jig bite myself. I like timing it right and then feeling the weight and struggle of the fish as I rear back on the rod. Sometimes it doesnt happen like that and its a swing and a miss,but for me as long as thier biting,it captures my attention,and keeps me motivated.

Remember swings(hooksets) dont cost you anything ,so swing all you want

has to be a jig or creature carolina rig. i love seein the line move and knowing the bass is thinking it got a free meal then slamming the hook home after that first exciting tap and feeling the weight on the end of the line.

    Nothing beats a topwater bite.

Nothing beats a topwater bite.

I agree!!!

[airborne_angler]

Well tahts one I totally forgot about,id have to agree that a topwater bite is awesome,and heartstopping. Now im torn between the Jig/Worm bite and the topwater strike being my favorite. :-/

[cart7t]

I like all bites.

I would have to say the aerial assault. I have had several smallmouths leap out of the water behind a Zara Spook and dive bomb on top of it. Not anything quite like it. Nothing comes close.

[Big Mike in Fl]

mine would have to be the top water bite as well, nothing like a monster bass crushing my spook (caught a nice 6-7lber today on one as a matter of fact)

but I also love the hits on any fast moving bait, like a swim senko or skinny dipper where they darn near rip the rod out of your hand.

of course I also love a good solid hookset on a worm.

ok, I guess I love them all.

I'm with Cart71..but I have to admit..being a worm guy, I love watching bass Explode on a topwater bait.

[DINK WHISPERER]

I would trade ten bites on faster moving baits for that one subtle twitch of the line as a hawg inhales my worm/jig on the fall! Gets my adrenaline running just typing about it, LOL!!!!

Frog bite in matted grass down on the Potomac!!

Like everyone - I like any and all bites - a jig bite, a solid spinner bait strike is good, and the undeniable thud on a worm is sweet.

But my favorite is a summer night buzz bait bite - listening to the blade whizzing along knowing that any second it could happen. Except on rare moonlight nights you rarely actually see it - just hear it and hopefully feel it. The anticipation is the BEST - Cast - reel - and reel a little more - just keep reeling and waiting and then BAM - killer exploding strike - that's tough to beat.

When a smallie hits a Sammy or Spook it's insane. I can't see how it could get any better than seeing a 4 or 5 lb smallie completely out of the water on the strike.

[acmaul13]

I gotta go with the topwater smally strike,hell even a 2lber can seem like a monster

[S I G M A]

I like cranking really fast, then suddenly it feels like a snag, then it kicks and starts fighting and you realize you have a lunker on your hands...

[islandbass]

Nothing beats a topwater bite.

I agree!!!

Got that right! This is my favorite, especially with a popper or doggie bait.

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

x2 on all replies

[bobdogg17]

mainly anything that stays on the hook, but a top water is the best. Personally i like when they hit a popper!

[bigtimfish]

For me, nothing is better than a topwater bite. or topwater explosion i should say.

[MALTESE FALCON]

I can't say I like one better than the other. They all get me pumped up.

I love it when I set hook & the bass sets hook back

[CWB]

I like all bites.

Bite me!  ;D ;D

X2 on Topwater and can't beat a Crankbait bite where they slam it either.

[SPEEDBEAD.]

Night time wakebait bite

[nickb]

I love it when I'm pulling some sort of plastic with my rod tip, then it feels like it's stuck on a log.  Then the line starts moving, it's the best!

Home made turkey, bacon, cheese, letuce, and tomato sandwich in my mouth while waiting on that monster catfish to grab my line and nightcrawler is my favorite.
