My "panic" box is my regular box with the baits I fish year long, I never panic, I fish with the same tried and true .... in a different manner. Quote
Pantera61 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I want to know what everybodys panic box includes. Those confidence baits that we always turn to on those rough days when nothin seems to work. We all got one. My "panic" box is my regular box with the baits I fish year long, I never panic, I fish with the same tried and true .... in a different manner. I would have to agree. My starting lineup is what I know will produce the most under a set of circumstances, more often than not. What? I'm supposed to give the fish a handicap? If you see me with a Red Eye spoon tied on, it's Lawyers, Guns and Money time. Quote
Blues19 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 When im in a pickle I throw a 3/16 oz green pumpkin pro spot remover, with a watermelon red zoom shakey head worm. Or a cinnamon purple zoom super speed craw with a 2/0 ewg hook and either 1/8 oz or 1/4 oz weight, Texas rigged of course. Quote
bass wrangler569 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 My panic box changes with the seasons but some things I always have include green pumpkin senkos, white nichols spinnerbaits w/ tandem silver willows, a war eagle spinnerbait in mouse color, a pointer 78 in chartreuse shad, a black/blue jig, and sweet beavers Quote
Mottfia Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Guess I should really work on this part of my game but fishing small isn't part of my game right now. So when things get tough I turn to the good ole spinnerbait. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted March 31, 2009 Super User Posted March 31, 2009 A 4" Chompers Spider jig, Football head 1/4oz, normally in dark melon. Or a 4" Senko dead sticked in pumpkin/green or Junebug. Quote
The Next KVD Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Can't say I actually have a "PANIC BOX!!!" I guess I just throw something that I have complete confidence in: Flipping Black/Blue jigs, Cranking, and Shakey heading Gulp! Earthworms. Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Same lures as always, BIGGER sinker, HEAVIER line, flippin stick, EXTRA SLOOOOW! Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted March 31, 2009 Super User Posted March 31, 2009 If your "panic box bait" ALWAYS catches fish then why not start out using it and make it your "go to" bait? I fish pretty much the same way year round. T-rig worm 365. Fluke 365., spinnerbait, crankbait, topwater depending on the conditions. If I can't catch'em on the above mentioned baits then there's a very good probability they won't hit much of anything else and I'm going home. Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted March 31, 2009 Super User Posted March 31, 2009 Tubes, jig, or a plastic worm. It seems like one of these will always produce for me. Quote
NBR Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I'm with Raul and others. I have never understood the panic box concept. When I get set up to leave the ramp I have 3 to 5 outfits set up with what I think are the best approaches for the date, time, water and weather. When my catching is slow to nonexistant I rethink what I have been using and the situation, weather, previous weather, water conditions, past experience under similar conditions and make a decision. A big issue always is forage. After 30 to 45 minutes with no better results I rethink including location. Quote
Super User Raul Posted March 31, 2009 Super User Posted March 31, 2009 Well, it looks like I ain 't the only one that don 't have "panic" box. I don 't have "go to" lures either, or I can say that my "go to" lures are the ones I fish with. I do have "go to" fishing/rigging techniques that I use in special cases where my regular fishing/rigging techniques are not producing consistently, don 't use them oftenly because sometimes they are quite boring ( like vertical jigging or trolling, it 's boring as hell ) so I avoid them as much as I can. I rethink my approach, the location and presentation and act in consequence after a period of no or very little success. Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 If your "panic box bait" ALWAYS catches fish then why not start out using it and make it your "go to" bait? Ah, truer words have never been spoken, LOL!!! Quote
