Jeffthefisherman Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Hey guys! Im wodering what soft bait i should use for fishing largemouth and smallmouth this spring. Im not fishing with weight so... i use tubes. Shouls i use worms? lizards? wat colour and size please. And suggest wat good brand and model of those soft plastic. Thanks guys. Quote
Uncle Leo Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Yep have to go with a Senko, dragged and dead sticked, wicked. Quote
dmac14 Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 x4 on the senko, you pretty much have to try to have it not catch fish. Quote
BriBass Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Senko... green pumpkin also is good, or black blue flk Quote
The_Natural Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 The tube is obviously the first answer, but the second could be several baits. The Senko is a good choice, but I throw a lizard more in the spring than I do a Senko. A jig and hula grub is also up there.... Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 13, 2009 Super User Posted May 13, 2009 Top three: Fat Ika, Senko, Gitzit. New for 2009, Rage Tail 10" Anaconda, Lobster and Space Monkey. 8-) Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 If your going to target both of them at the same time I would say a tube. Probably green pumpkin. Next would be a craw/jig combo or just a craw on a shaky head. then a senko Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 13, 2009 Super User Posted May 13, 2009 I give another vote for the senko. Four inch or five inch in white, white green laminate, watermelon, rootbeer, or baby bass. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 14, 2009 Super User Posted May 14, 2009 Hula grubs are another good option too. Quote
blueultra2 Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 4" Senko or Zoom Finesse worm both wacky rigged. I caught my personal best largemouth the other night on a 4" watermelon Senko. It weighed 4lbs 7oz and was 20 1/4" long. Quote
Tim Ford Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 My top five favorite "versatile" soft plastics for LMB and SMB: 5. Zoom Z-Nail 4. *** * 3. Zoom Super Fluke 2. Yamamoto Senko 1. Yum Tube Quote
aarogb Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 X5 on the Senko x6 on the Senko, but go with a Gold, Silver, and Black color, nothing else has worked for me. Quote
Stingray23 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 For both, my number one choice is a tube. I've been killing them this spring with it. Then a grub and then a senko. Quote
basskiss711 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Blue 5" Senko. Guaranteed to catch quality bass if fished correctly. I actually tied a Senko onto a catfish fisherman's line for him today. He hadn't fished in years! I showed him how to work the Senko, and he had a largemouth bass in less than 10 minutes. He was so excited! Quote
Bassmaster Bill Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I've been having great results from Berkley Gulp 7" turtleback worms in cherrseed and green pumpkin seed. Quote
