Best Soft Plastics

[dude loves to fish]

Just started using the Power Team Lures baits. These baits has some awesome buoyancy. I have been catching some good fish here lately with their Craw D'oeuvre, this is a great looking creature bait. Also like the zoom products.

I like senkos, the original and some knock off, zoom lizards, but the fat ika, rigged backwards has been killing them for me, I went for 3 hours saturday and used the ika for 2.5 hours. I just love that bait!

culprit 10" worm red shad

yum dinger 5" weightless t-rigged

yum 10" worm black/red flake

ive found that the culprit worms are pretty tough i can catch a few fish to one worm in some cases compared to other worms and the same goes for the dinger.

I agree on the Culprits! They're well priced, and even though they're tough, they don't sacrifice action at all. The ribbontail has excellent action and the texture of the baits is just right.

Thanks Primus! That really gave a LOT of good advice! Do you think the 4" Zoom Lizard would work on a shaky head?

Sorry I didn't see this until today. I personally haven't tried that combo on a shaky head, maybe others will chime in but I can't see why this wouldn't be some what effective. That said I would consider trying this in a no salt formula from a custom hand pour company. I've dealt with Dichoso baits as mentioned in my prior post, he doesn't have a Lizard mold but his Kurly Koura ( similiar to a Baby Brush Hog) would make an intriquing option. Might be something I have to try.

No salt? If I'm not mistaken, a salt-impregnated bait sinks, and for a shakyhead it is desired that the bait float, correct? So a handpour without salt would produce better action on the shaky heads dude to its bouyancy?

The Rage Tail plastics I like to use are the Rage Craw and the Rage Tail Shad. Work very well for me.

What about Rage Tail plastics? I've never used them before but if I were to get a few packs, what kind should I get? Colors??

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah, that or I could just fish the 4 inchers ona 2/0 hook with a 1/16 oz bullet weight, or maybe even go weightless and see how well I do. Of course, most of the Zoom Lizards I fish are the 6 inch ones. They're more versatile, but sometimes I think it's a downsized bait that entices some of the larger, wearier fish into taking a look at it and nailin it.
