First 2 Baits Out Of Your Panic Box? 2024
Blues19 reply :
I think most of us have read Ike's article about his "Panic Box". I have not made a panic box, but there are some baits I will throw when I feel like nothing elses is working. For me its an 1/8 oz T-Rigged Lil Critter Craw or a 4" Centipeed on an 1/8 oz Spot Remover, both fished super slow. Ive caught so many fish on those baits its crazy. If there is a cold front or nothing else is working, what do you take out to boat a few bass?
ChrisWi reply :
Dropshot. Even in the worst conditions a dropshot puts fish in the boat
Catch and Grease reply :
Trickworms!
rippin-lips reply :
As much as I don't enjoy fishing painstakingly slow. I'll throw a 4" stick worm weightless wacky if I need to boat a few fish.
ColdSVT reply :
The cooler?...ya know that place where the cold beer is??
I usually go to my finesse box when i am panic mode or to the reaction baits
It really depends on what i have been trying that day
ww2farmer reply :
I don't need two baits, I'll take one bait with three rigging options. A 4" finesse worm nose hooked on a drop-shot, the same worm wacky rigged on a 1/16thoz. wacky jig, or the same worm on an 1/8th oz shaky head. If it's windy, I'll adjust the drop shot weight as needed, bump the wacky jig up to 1/8th oz., and the shaky head up to 3/16thoz.

Zoom Trick Worm.
The Wilkin reply :
Fluke then senko. Two really versatile and proven baits for me.
HoosierHawgs reply :
At first, if I start to panic I start to cover new water w/a spinnerbait. Blade and color based on conditions and forage. Then from there I pick apart w/a light shakey head or T-Rig
poebassin reply :
1. wacky rigged senko (PANIC)
2. berkley powerbait power worm in red shad rigged weightless
Team9nine reply :
"Ned Rig" and a hair jig...but neither is in a "panic" box - they're year round staples.

Dynamite
smallieking reply :
senko and jerkbait will always trigger strikes when fish are inactive.
iabass8 reply :
Senko
Trickworm
Joe Schmuckatelli reply :
A trick worm or sadly a senko

Sorry, I don't panic....
Raul reply :
I don´t have a "panic box" for a very simple reason, I never panic.

Crank phone, dynamite
desmobob reply :
I don't panic over fishing (except maybe when I fall in when wading in a deep and fast river...) but when the chips are down, I throw a wacky Senko. If I can't get anything on that, I figure it really doesn't matter what I throw next (which is usually a spinnerbait).
Tight lines,
Bob
Bluebasser86 reply :
I don't panic but when I need to catch a fish I'll either be fishing a shakyhead with a trick worm or dragging a jig.

Zoom baby brush hog
Don't Tell The Wife reply :
Jig for me.
Maxximus Redneckus reply :
Panic lures....beetle spin and a chartruese curly grub 2"
papajoe222 reply :
Original floating #7 Rapala C-rigged. #3 Mepps squirrel tail. I really have a hard time dead sticking or slowing down much more than a C-rig.
Catt reply :
Like Alonerankin2 & Raul, I don't panic, neither am I afraid of being skunked!
greentrout reply :
No panic. Fished hard and zero fish. Out comes the Road Runner & I'm out to catch anything and a big Crappie or Bluegill is just fine by me. Of course, a LMB is ok, too.
Old school basser...
gulfcaptain reply :
If you have already panic'd, well your day's over. Good fisherman don't panic, we adjust. Panicing leads to rash decisions which will take you out of the game.
Angry John reply :
4" cane thumper worm wacky rigged or a baby brush hawg with a very light shakey head.

lmbfisherman reply :
It really depends on what is happening that day and that year. In general these are the first two panic baits I go to though.
1. Weightless Fluke
2. Drop Shot

Now that sounds like my brother in law.

Senko lover reply :
If I'm really really desperate, I'll pull out an inline spinner, which can catch you some bream as well as bass. 4-inch finesse worm has been really good to me as well.

Senko
