FL_Sharpshooter Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I'm beginning to look at some megabass lures after hearing some great things about them. I have been using lucky craft lures with some great success and I am wanting to take it a step further. So, to get me started...what megabass lure would you pick to start with and why? Quote
Maico1 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 What do you throw..crankbaits , topwater, jerkbaits etc. Would be easier to answer your question knowing how you fish... Quote
FL_Sharpshooter Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 What do you throw..crankbaits , topwater, jerkbaits etc. Would be easier to answer your question knowing how you fish... I throw all of them. The only baits I use are shallow baits, nothing that dives beyond 8ft. Sorry for being so vague. I fish in a canal where the only baitfish are tilapia, sunfish, and bluegill. The average depth is about 12ft (the exception being that there is a lot of moss on the bottom - which is why I use shallow/topwater baits). Quote
Maico1 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Griffon Zero, Clyclone SRX, Pop X, Pop Max, Vision 110 and Flap Slap would be a good start. These are what work for me in that condition. Quote

I'll probably end up with a vision 110 too...uh oh.. I can see where this is going! Thanks for your suggestions. I actually forgot that I ordered a Deps Buzzjet Jr. last week from japan. So for now, I'm going to pass on topwater lures until I try that one out. Quote

The Flap Slap is a good cold water bait. Quote

Guess I'll have to take a second look at that one then . Thanks You will not be disappointed that is one of my favorites........ Nice! Hows the Jr.'s action compared to the bigger one? I don't really have a rod that handles 1oz+ baits that well. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted February 12, 2012 Super User Posted February 12, 2012 Check out american legacy they have all their Megabass lures at half off That is HAD... just about all of those sold out within the first 12 hours of the sale. Just goes to show how popular these guys are. Congrats to those that got in before they were gone. Quote

Just goes to show how popular these guys are. Congrats to those that got in before they were gone. I was wondering why their site was down...must have been the heavy traffic. Too bad, or maybe it was a good thing...I do like my wallet feeling a little heavier than lighter Quote

Congrats to those that got in before they were gone. I blew about $50 on the live target lures at 40% off this morning, too much of a discount for me to pass on. Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 13, 2012 Super User Posted February 13, 2012 Pop Max Vision 110 Bait X concept Griffons are very pretty but they are too small, they are dink magnets. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 14, 2012 Global Moderator Posted February 14, 2012 I'd say popmax since your in Florida you should get use out of it most of the year. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted February 15, 2012 Super User Posted February 15, 2012 Flap Slap is a great bait. PopMax is my favorite, bar none. If you can't find a lot of baits, try Chad's Megabass, he's got a pretty good assortment always available, without the international shipping. Quote
craww Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 The old xj-100 brokenback minnow plug. Just a funbait to fish that would catch all species big and small. Quote
