Hmmm. Maybe a different perspective, as I've caught all my big bass on soft plastics.

1) Senko + off-brand

2) Zoom Trick Worm

3) Zoom Finesse Worm

wwarren8200 reply :

Sweet! A fellow plastics fisherman. Haha Thanks for the good input, Will W.

craww reply :

Big mop style jigs with large trailer. I made a mold of the old soft plastic bill dance craw crankbait and pour a about a 5 1/2" trailer. I picked up about a dozen bottles of liquid powerbait a few years back and marinate the trailers in that. I like to use them any place there are likely to hold a big fish, not really a blind search bait. From cover like docks and laydowns to open water humps and points.

I also like a few large topwaters like lunker plunkers, rapala x-walk 13's, and big pencil baits. The bigger baits can bring a bass from a long, long way and make fish do some crazy things. If Im on the river and chasing smallies, a sammy 85 while only 4" or so catches a football sized smallies.

My most rewarding bait is a single blade 3/8 buzzbait. Brand doesnt matter as long as it has a good hook and planes right. Theres is nothing more rewarding than hearing the bloop, bloop, BOOM of a good fish. I also seem to cast buzzbaits more accurately than most other styles of lures. Some may not feel the same way, maybe its just a repetively learned thing but I can put a buzzbait under limbs and into little pockets on command. Not always the case with other lures.

Thanks for all the input guys! This has helped a lot! Thanks, Will W.

kickerfish1 reply :

In no specific order...

- Jig - size, color, type, and trailer dependent upon time of year.

- topwater - Frog or x-pod depending upon cover present

- Texas rig- normally a rodent, beaver, d-bomb etc...

These typically account for 90% of the larger fish taken on given year for me.

WRB reply :

Your profile tells me you are 13 years old, your profile indicates you have caught a 13-14 lbs LMB! Impressive for Alabama.

What did you catch your PB bass on?

mnbassman23 reply :

Jigs, swimbaits, frogs

normmcclean reply :

Jig n pig has accounted for most of my 8lb+ fish just seems to be a big fish go to. Frogs and large 7" swimbaits have taken a few. That being said my 12-3 pb came on a rattling rapala #5 in tenesse shad cast on top of breaking fish busting shad.

AK-Jax86 reply :

Hollow Body frog, KVD 1.5, storm swim shad, and pop'r are what my 5 biggest fish came one (2 on the pop'r)

My buddy does a lot of night fishing out of Atlanta at the SAME spot behind a graveyard and all he throws are the Mann's 12" worms, just this year he has caught few 6- 7s, three 8s, and a 13.10!!! All on those worms all in the past 3 months, I told him to send the pics to Mann's they will probably have a sponsorship for him lol.

David D. reply :

In my limited (serious) fishing experience:

1. Zoom Brush Hog

2. 5" Senko

3. 1/2 oz Spinnerbait run close to brush edges

I'm trying to get my jig-craw trailer presentation better since so many people have success with it. Once that happens it may replace one of those three.

Read Bill Murphy's book In Pursuit of Giant Bass.

Your question requires a book to answer.

My big bass lures are; pig & Jig ( real pork trailers & hair jigs), big soft hand poured plastic worms 8" to 13", both hard and soft 6" to 12" swimbaits, wake baits and big top water lures.
