MN Basser Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Whats your favorite smallie rig or lure? What depth do you fish it? Quote
dgquail Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 GRUB, fished however those beasts want to bite it!!!! Quote
TennesseeVols14 Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 CAROLINA RIG a BABBY BRUSH HOG in 5 ft+ water's an any color babby brush hog that fits the water right...... or a shakey head rig.... Quote
Yakfish Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Tubes and senkos however deep they're biting. Quote
justfishin Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Tubes, tubes, tubes. Depth? It depends so greatly and the variables are so wide that time on the water is going to tell you that. Its something you have to learn on your own depending on where you fish, via a river or lake, night or day. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 30, 2007 Super User Posted July 30, 2007 Tubes, tubes, tubes. Depth? It depends so greatly and the variables are so wide that time on the water is going to tell you that. Its something you have to learn on your own depending on where you fish, via a river or lake, night or day. Well, besides live bait, tubes are my most productive baits, but grubs and GYCG Single Tail Hula Grubs are other choices you should use on occasion. In still water the Fat Ika rules. And although soft plastics are my "most productive" artificials, my "favorite" is a suspending jerkbait, hands down. In low light conditions I also recommend the full size Zara Spook and/ or Lucky Craft Sammy. Quote
bpm2000 Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Single/dbl hula grubs on a jighead or trigged dragged over the bottom. I also like a splitshot 4" lizard or a slowrolled spinnerbait as well. Quote
CK14 Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 my most productive lures are probably 1.) dropshot 2.) hula grub 3.) senko. but my favorite baits are hands down cranks & rat-l-traps. Quote
Bizzo Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Tubes and senkos however deep they're biting. Right on. Quote
basspro48 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Most productive would probably be a GYCB hula grub on a jighead, but I love it when they'll smash a crankbait... Quote
Valleye Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Wacky worm Senkos or Senko-like worms For shallow smallies I like the manns minus 1 in crawdad or zara spooks. When they are deep, I'm still working on that one ;D Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted July 31, 2007 Super User Posted July 31, 2007 I never met a crankbait I didn't like. But like roadwarrior said, I don't hesitate to use live bait. A large shiner on a splitshot rig has been a skunk-buster many times. Falcon Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 tubes, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, grubs, jigs are a favorite of mine. Quote
justfishin Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Shhhhhhhhh, RW, don't tell these guys about the Hula Grub. Hey guys, don't ever use a HG for smallies, they don't work. ;D Quote
Valleye Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Shhhhhhhhh, RW, don't tell these guys about the Hula Grub. Hey guys, don't ever use a HG for smallies, they don't work. ;D "I know Nothing!" ;D ;D Sgt Schultz, Hogans Heroes Quote
Tucson Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Hula Grubs are my go-to bait for largies or smallies. But that's just our secret. Don't let them other guys know! Quote
