Proven fish catchers, an extensive list 2024
Basswhippa reply :
Let's play a little game. Let's build an extensive list of proven bass catchers. Please put one specific lure only. For example, "Cavitron buzzbait", rather than "buzzbait". Or 1 ounce Spot rather than 1 ounce rattlebait.
Just put one post per thread. You certainly can describe the lure and tell stories to back you pick, such as "I love a 1/2 Cavitron buzzbait in white. I've used it for a decade. I've caught bass up to 9 pounds", etc..
You can put other lures after at least one other member has posted.
At the end, we will have an extensive list of proven baits. Hopefully hundreds of proven fish slayers. You can then narrow your selection of proven bass catchers and use those that work to your strengths, or expand on new horizons, such as various Alabama Rigs or California trout type swimbaits, etc.
I'll start.
ZOOM Ole Monster. 10.5" in your color of choice. A proven bass catcher in my southeastern US lakes. Texas rig it or Carolina rig it, and you will catch fish.

Keitech 4" Impact, on a Owner 1/16oz-1/0 jig head. It's an expensive way to fish as every fish that it pass by will hit it and they usually only last one or two hits, but they seem to work even when the Ned fails me.

Luckily I stocked up on them. But my supply won't last forever. I lost a few to bigger bass on long casts from shore they dove into the weeds. My freshwater tackle just can't turn there heads. There in control.

Was getting ready last night for fishing today and this post made me remember that I had purchased a few bags of these baits. One of the bags I had purchased was the 4" Green Pumpkin, anyway went out today using this bait and best five was a little over 17.5 lbs., thanks for the heads up.

Mosster47 reply :
8" M3 Roboworm. If there is a bass over 12" where you are fishing they will bite it.
bigbill reply :
There isn't too many lures I haven't caught fish with. Actually some lures do catch more fish than others. I give them a squirt of scent, cast them out and try different presentations. If nothing happens I change colors.

They are also great on a 1/16oz shakey head and even work well weightless as a micro-fluke.

scaleface reply :
A lure that has quickly become one of my favorites since I started using it late last year , the Rapala Crankin Rap CRR 14 . The one I have is Fire Tiger . It easily dives to 12 foot stays there , has a tight action and is easy to retrieve . I picked it up on the clearance Rack as they have been discontinued . It has caught so many fish that I found some old stock on line and ordered nine more in three different sizes . I think these may have originally been Storm baits by the way the rear hook hanger is underneath the lure , the way Storm use to do it . The two biggest bass I caught last year came on the square bill version at night .
When I get this shipment in , they are going straight in my tackle box and something has to come out .

I use the "flying lure" I purchased a few years back for $1.99 at a new spot that never seen a fisherman and the bass loved it.
Yeajray231 reply :
@bigbill I wish I could go to a spot thats never seen a fisherman ! Ha-ha. Man I've caught a bass on a crappie nibble. And I'm sure you can catch bass on the banjo minnow and the flying lure and many others . But we both know they don't belong on this list !
