Physically Demanding Lures And/or Techniques 2024
Ratherbfishing reply :
What, in your opinion, are the most physically demaning lures or techniques? I guess I would say the larger deep diving crankbaits and jerkbaits. Both leave my forearms and wrists worn out and sore after a few hours-especially jerkbaits. I'd fish them more if I wasn't so beat up by them.
roadwarrior reply :
Casting the Alabama Rig or huge swimbaits.
Scarborough817 reply :
big spoons would probably be up there
rippin-lips reply :
Toss a 3-5oz bait for 2hrs. Your jerkbait will seem like sunshine and rainbows after that. I can't even imagine the guys who throw the big swimbaits that weigh 6-8oz or more all day long.
Raul reply :
Anything big and heavy call it Bama Rigs, big swim baits, deep n´extra deep diving cranks, big willow leaf spinnerbaits and such.
bigbill reply :
I'm not sure if the lures are demanding but I think the faster reel ratio is taxing me more energy wise. I'm beat at the end of the trip with a 6.3:1 spinning reel.
Lure that's demanding tossing the 9" castiac trout lure on a inshore setup.

Yes the Nichols Ben Parker magnum flutters spoons area whole lot of work. Not just casting a 3.5 oz bait but the rod stokes working the spoon will flat wear you out. Worse then casting & retrieving a 10XD crankbait.

Any sort of double cowgirl musky bait with #10 blades. It's like pulling a drift sock through the water.

I know it, even a big single colorado spinnerbait can take it out of you after a while.
smalljaw67 reply :
My killers are jerkbaits and burning 1/2oz spinnerbaits but it is usually in early Fall or late Spring when these are a problem. The reason is I'm really aggressive with the jerkbaits at those times so there isn't the long pause you normally use in cold water. The spinnerbaits at that time are tough because if you are burning it and get bit, there is a good chance that bite last most of the day if not all day.
Scott F reply :
Walking a Zara Spook for a few hours makes my wrists and fore arms sore. My buddies who fish muskies with baits that can weigh over a pound and huge double bladed bucktails think they've got it easy when they switch to baits that only weigh a few ounces.
ww2farmer reply :
For me, deep cranking, jerkbaits, and walking a frog/spook.........I can do all of that stuff for a couple hours at a time fine, it's when I have yanked on that jerkbait for 12+ hours a day because they were biting it and nothing else, or frogging every day, all day for a week that I start to get worn out.
Dogmatic reply :
Big cranks, big swimbaits, big spoons, loaded a-rigs. All some of my favorite techniques!
Jrob78 reply :
Trying to burn big, double bladed spinnerbaits wears me out. Heavy weighted A-rigs aren't much fun to cast all day either.

I've never fished a spoon before... It looks exhausting. But I have thrown a 1oz stick bait all day before. My forearms were killing me, as well as my grip.
Catch and Grease reply :
Flipping big 1-2oz weights in heavy cover all day can put a hurting on you if you ain't used to it!
A-Jay reply :
SIX DAYS of First Launching and then Grinding in a Lucky Craft SKT Magnum 120 Mag DR Crankbait got my attention.
Especially in the 105 degree heat of the Mexican Summer Sun . . . .

3 herniated disc, torn ligaments, sciatia nerve pain, rheumatoid arthritis, calcium deposits, to name a few.
Every technique hurts! 
MarkH024 reply :
Suddenly, this turned into the Jaws scene. "show me the way to go home....im tired and i wanna go to bed."
flyfisher reply :
nothing in conventional fishing has worn me out so far but i do get a little fatigued when I am casting a 10wt fly rod all day long, and even more so if it isn't a balanced set up.
K_Mac reply :
Just reading this thread has exhausted me. I am going to bed.
buzzed bait reply :
I don't throw a lot of these big baits mentioned so for me it's a spook type bait or spinnerbaits
scaleface reply :
I've worked up a sweat a few times ripping crankbaits . I retrieve it by ripping hard rand long reel up the slack and repeat . Bomber Flat A's work well fished this way .
Josh Smith reply :
The way I fish jigs tends to be tiring.

Cgrinder reply :
Ripping lipless cranks out of grass seems to get me.
Felix77 reply :
The Alabama Rig wears me out! LOL
DTack reply :
ALL day with a spook or a ripbait in my hand is what wears me out the most. If I am just throwing and winding all day that is a bit easier regardless if it's an a-rig or a 12" bait.
NathanW reply :
Of baits I actually fish would be deep cranks, jerkbaits, and spooks.
Bass newb reply :
Anything done in high wind sucks.

if you have the right rod , throwing 8 oz. swimbaits is like throwing a 1 oz. jig on a M/H or H rod , no problem at all . on the flip side , using an underated rod for big swimbaits is VERY tiresome and you'll feel it the next day or you might even jack up your rotator cuff . same principal applies to all bass fishing , using the right gear makes all the difference

I have the Okuma 7'11 heavy swimbait rod.
WPCfishing reply :
I like fishing in junk.. I go and go til the end of the day. Then I feel it.... I do the same thing the next day. I love it!

i hear that rod maxes out around 3-4 oz. , if you were to throw 6-8 oz. baits you would feel the rod overload in your arms and shoulders !!! i throw my swimbaits on a custom St. Croix Big Nasty that will handle BIG baits !!
WPCfishing reply :
Throwing toads with my Lews Magnum One is a workout to say the least. It's a stick.. Throwing a punch jig is right in it's wheel house. It's also good for swim baits which I seldom fish with.

Yes, it does. My heaviest bait is a 8" hudd which is a tad over 4oz. Everything else hovers around 2.5-3oz and it's perfect for those weights. I don't throw them a bunch so when I do I can feel it.
WRB reply :
Getting out of bed at O dark thirty to go fishing is physically demanding, casting big heavy swimbaits when it's cold and damp can be cruel to an old man.

Sounds similar to my last MRI..... replacing the herniated discs with miscellaneous vertabre fractures and compressions, that is.

X2.
The Bama rig wears me out.
Huge swimbaits can produce some large bass but they are a bear to continually throw.
lecisnith reply :
I figure it's not the fishing that hurts. It's the ten years of delivering furniture that hurts. That being said I must still be pretty stout or just not doing it right because usually the only thing that hurts on me is my back after fishing for 12+ hours.
Jaw1 reply :
I like to throw big or big to me walking Topwater baits but the next day my wrists tell me it's time to quit.
