Most Productive Technique?......(For Numbers) 2024
Heron reply :
What is the technique that you favor the most, that catches the most fish, in general, per hour?
and does so with fair consistency.
Bruce424 reply :
Shakey head craw or straight tail worm. If the fish are there they usually bite it.
d-camarena reply :
For me its a purple or green pumpkin worm, senko, ol monster, power worms it dosent matter. Just give it some good action
Heron reply :
This here was an interesting read, about whoopin bass with a 3 inch senko.

I fish local city park lakes in So Cal. so they get pretty hammered. But the most productive technique for me over the years has definitely been the Drop Shot. Also I'm not catching bass every hour, if I do catch any its more like one to three per outing. I catch the skunk a lot...
the reel ess reply :
It's probably a wacky Senko. But last two times out it caught only 1. The best day for numbers of bass I ever had came in a pond on a Torpedo all day long. Occasionally when a fish missed, which was rare but ithappens with topwaters, I'd throw a Senko to that spot and catch it. And they wouldn't bite just anything that day...I tried other things.

You need to get you some skunk repellent.
Hah....that would be a good name for an attractant scent spray - skunk repellent.
jyu87 reply :
Cut a senko in half and wacky rig it. Anything and everything will go after it. Quality will suffer but you'll catch way more fish.

Sounds like that would kill whatever action the senko had left.
Might it make more sense to wacky rig a smaller senko(3 in)?

You'd think but they still attack them on the initial fall. Especially the smaller bass! It would theoretically make more sense to buy the 3" senko but theres honestly no reason to. The senkos rip up so easily that you could just rip them in half and get additional use out of the ones you're using already to wacky rig. Might as well reuse and repurpose the one that is all messed up.
Team9nine reply :
For me it's easily Midwest Finesse (Ned Rig and a small hair jigs) for numbers.

Right now it's a T-rig.
hoosierbass07 reply :
This is simple - Texas rigged soft stick bait, mostly a five inch Yum-Dinger. I just can't get away from the five inch Yum-Dinger Texas rigged. I'm addicted to them! lol.
papajoe222 reply :
A tube with either an internal nose weight , or with a tube jig. That spiral fall is a kin to wacky rigging a Senko, the fish just can't resist it.
scaleface reply :
Shallow and medium diving crankbaits .
iceintheveins reply :
I would say senko or fluke type baits, but not always. Sometimes it's spinnerbaits, creature baits, or even jigs.
Bluebasser86 reply :
Ned rig catches them from 5" to 5 pounds and every kind of fish that swims.

For me especially big ribbon tail worms - but almost anything trigged.
Senko lover reply :
I've been testing out the shakeyhead, and it's produced some of my best numbers this year. I used to think it was only for deep water, but I'm catching fish on it sometimes in less than a foot of water.
Otherwise, probably a 4-inch finesse worm or senko.
Master Bait'r reply :
finesse t-rig or tiny jigs like the Ned.
Bankbeater reply :
So far this year it has been a topwater bait and a jig.
long island basser reply :
T/rig stickbait.
Goose52 reply :
Numbers bait? Easy - 5" single tail grub. Can be rigged many ways and occasionally can catch size as well as numbers. I've caught 2907 fish on 5" grubs in the last 5 1/2 seasons.
Honorable mention goes to 3" and 4" stick worms - 1503 fish on them in the same period.
5" grub fish...

Smaller baits = more fish.
Out of those fish the big'un number will still come up on the dice though for sure.
Lately finesse has been winning out bigtime for me. It's an ebb and flow but they are on a baitfish pattern right now in a big way.
Todd2 reply :
I'm surprised crankbaits aren't mentioned more. It's my ultimate numbers lure when it's on.
J Francho reply :
Being on biting fish.

I have a secret hole on a public 200 acre lake.Personal boats are not allowed and so very few people have depth finders. Its about 6 foot deep surrounded by four foot of water and has four stumps on the edge. Theres been days there when I have caught fish on most every cast with a Fat Rap .
Maxximus Redneckus reply :
back in the day when i was 10 or so me and my friends would ride bikes to the farm ponds all around us it was no trouble catching 100+ bass each a day on beetle spins so beetle spins get my vote for most bass and they also worked on yellow perch and white perch same days.i have a advantage where i live i can go from a farm pond to brakish water most places i fish with just a few feet from each other.
jitterbug127 reply :
T rig
gardnerjigman reply :
Crank Telephone, dynamite...???
In all seriousness a t-rigged baby brush hog in watermelon red with a 3/8oz bullet weight will catch a ton of fish and range from dinks to hawgs.
BassinLou reply :
When I fish in the glades, if I just want flat out numbers, I will throw a 4" stickworm or zoom centipede and catch bass all day long.

Most definitely...
That would also be a great name for an attractant! Lets copyright that and get crackin on the anti skunk formula!
hatrix reply :
A drop shot probably. I have only used a ned rig a little and it's pretty solid for numbers and size.
For all out numbers or any species maybe those little poppers for fly rods on a UL. Everything hits those.
annexation reply :
A t-rigged creature is the closest thing to an all-conditions winner for me. Retrieved slowly always finds them. It also comes through the grass like a dream, which is great because most of my water is very, very weedy.
Specifically, I tend to favor the Havoc Pit Boss with a 3/16 bullet weight. But I'll use heavier weight in wind or when fishing the 10 ft.+ zone a lot.
I love learning new techniques, so I always make it a point to try something new every time I'm out. But when that isn't working and I just want to catch fish, I pick up my t-rig rod.

not really
KayakBasser reply :
For me,even though this tactic is relatively new,i would have to go with a 3 inch senko on a 1/16 ounce mushroom jig head......N.E.D.rig.

For sheer numbers: 'live earthworms'

WRB reply :
Whenever I take out a new angler to introduce bass fishing it's usually a med spinning outfit, easy to learn to cast. The lure of choice, depending on the season is something that can be fished without hanging up all the time and will catch bass.
If the bass are not in cover and on more open rock structure areas a 1/8 oz dart head jig with a 5" curl tail worm is a good choice. If the bass are tighter to cover, then a 1/8 oz slip shot 5" straight tail worm works good good. I like to use single hook soft plastics, easy to unhook without harming the bass.

curtis9 reply :
Spinnerbait for me.
Fishing Rhino reply :
In no particular order.
4" Senko wacky rigged on a Gamakatsu wacky jig head (where you can fish with lead) in MA I use a Jackall wacky tungsten jig head, Shaky head 3/16th ounce Vike tungsten with a 4" SK super finess (elaztech) worm peanut butter & jelly or coppertreuse, Fat Albert or Rage Tail grub on a 1/8th ounce Keitech super round tungsten 2/0 hook, Keitech swing impact fat, Lunker City swimming ribster or grubster (a smaller version of the ribster) clear water color or silver flash, all rigged like the grub on the above Keitech jig head, A Yamamoto flapping hog (watermelon w/ blk and red flake also rigged as the above. A Rage Tail Menace watermelon red flake or green pumpkin with purple and gold flake also rigged on the Keitech jig head.
Everything else being equal, I prefer the shaky head setup because the Elaztech baits will last forever, or until you lose them, whichever comes first. The grub baits and the Rage Tail Menace are pretty durable. While the flapping hog is a good producer, it can be pulled apart by panfish.
