Must Have Lure/plastic 2024


fishing user avatarJsinkic reply : 

When you are down on your luck, weather isn't the greatest and you are about to give up what is the lure/plastic you go to? I know a lot of guys say plastics work great and are a must have, for me it's all about the square bill! When I'm about to head in I do a shore line or about 30 cast with a square bill to see if I can bring something up and keep me in the game for a little longer.

 

So Whats your go to lure/plastic?

when all else fails - zoom trick worm - t-rigged - split shot - ds - I've had many days saved by a t-rigged black trick worm - they've made this old guide look good many times


fishing user avatarSmokinal reply : 

I end up going to grass beds in 8-12 ft with a t-rigged Culprit; either black shad, junebug or tequila sunrise.


fishing user avatarBuckMaxx reply : 

Chomper watermelon twin tail catches em when nothing else will


fishing user avatarak47soulja22 reply : 

Must have zoom magnum worm- black or water candy. You choose the approach I like wacky rigged no weight.

Another bandit crankbait- squarebill color Pinapple!


fishing user avatarjbsoonerfan reply : 

Brush Hog or Baby Brush Hog in Green Pumpkin - Just a confidence bait I suppose.


fishing user avatarRipSomeLips reply : 

I usually just get ticked and leave swearing I won't go fishing for a month. Then the next morning I am dying to get back out on the water.

 

But I would say my old stand by lure is a Chartreuse twirl tail grub on a pink jig head.

This is my "go-to" rig also, except I fish it mostly in submerged timber and rip-rap.

 

As far as hard baits, 1/2 oz. Red Eye Shad in chrome/blue back

 

A black/blue jig is in the mix too.

I just have to think you'd be better off with hooks on that bait

Rage Tail Recon Falcon Lake!!! ;)


fishing user avatarpapajoe222 reply : 

If I'm targeting deep water, a split shot rigged french fry worm. Shallow water gets a stick worm wacky rigged.


fishing user avatarMarksHooked reply : 

Mine has to be a 5" senko weightless T-rigged, watermelon and red flake. Or DS a 3" Powerbait minnow

fishing user avataraceman387 reply : 

A 7" blue fleck colored berkley power worm.


fishing user avatarFish Murderer 71 reply : 

Black Charlies finness shakey head on the ledge just above cover dropping off into it!  ALWAYS GOOD FOR A DINK OR HAWG.


fishing user avatarwhitwolf reply : 

When all else fails I usually throw a Zoom 4" dead ringer either on a shakeyhead or t-rigged. Watermelon, black, or cherry seed.


fishing user avatarI.rar reply : 

Roboworm 4" alive shad or straight tail.


fishing user avatarThe Fisher reply :

I'm right there with ya on this one, super confidence bait for me. I feel if there's a bass around he's just not going to be able to resist that senko shimmy.

X2  on the Brush Hog. If the water is stained, I like the chartreuse tail on my green pumpkin hog or a Berkley power worm in Green Pumpkin or Watermelon T-Rigged.

 

I do have to say last year, I went to a drop shot with a Strike King bitsy tube (natural colors) more often than in the past when I was stumped.


fishing user avatarMacP reply : 

Flukes with underspins, shallow shad raps, t-rigged brush hogs, poppers in the morning/later afternoon.


fishing user avatarmjseverson24 reply : 

if i just need to catch fish to get the confidence up I go to 2 baits

1) 1/2 oz chart/wht double willow spinnerbait (blade color depends on water clarity)

2) dropshot either finesse worm or wacky senko

If i dont catch fish with these two baits, its going to be a long day...

fishing user avatarlong island basser reply : 

5" senko


fishing user avatarOntarioFishingGuy reply : 

Storm Arashi 5, bluegill color, no rattles. I can always catch a couple fishing it parallel to rocky shorelines or fishing it through laydowns.
