silvercliff_46 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I love the Stanley floating Ribbit. Swim them in the slop, stop in a hole twitch, then back over the slop, buzz the small channels. We just started to use them and all I can say is WOW! Quote
rboat Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 The old original beetle-spin. It will keep you from being skunked. Quote
J P Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 I am a huge Paca Craw Fan but sometimes I use a bait I think is better (depending on the situation) It's called a Bass Pro Shops "Speed-O-Craw" Same Idea as Paca, but its not hollow-bodied. its flat sided and seems to slip throw cover a little better. I also like burying the hook in it. The Legs always run perfect too Came in second place in a tournament throwing this bait alone Quote
mrlitetackle Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 try fishing a wally world spinning combo upside down, with a red and white bobber, and a dead sun-cooked earth worm. cast it out like a fool, and retrieve it rapidly after every cast like a crank bait. do this for about 10 min, and then proceed to hook and land a 8-9 lb bass!!!!!!!!!! ******** i witnessed this exact occurrence about 2 weeks ago here in orlando, what a slap in the face!!!!!!! ******** so for underrated techniques, there you go. and its proven, trust me...... i saw it happen, and im still > and :-? ..........

Years ago we were fishing a small pond out of my boat. We were not getting anything. One of those days when you throw everything you have. There's a kid and his dad on the bank. The kid kept asking if he could put a piece of hot dog on his line and the old man kept saying "No". This went on for an hour until dad caved in just to shut the kid up. You know how this ends. My buddy and I packed up and called it a day. Quote
Blue Streak Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I am surprised that no one has mentioned the Jitterbug. It is still one of the most effective top water baits there is. Quote
LooksLikeSinbad Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 I am surprised that no one has mentioned the Jitterbug. It is still one of the most effective top water baits there is. True, but I don't think it's underrated - doesn't everyone have at least one in their box? Quote

True, but I don't think it's underrated - doesn't everyone have at least one in their box? There are many here who use them, yours included. My favorite top water bait>>5/8 ounce black Jitterbug 8-) Quote
