I.rar reply :
My secret weapons are 4" gycb cut tails, super fluke Jr's and roboworm alive shad and straight tails. If I can't get bit on any of those, the fish arnt there.
And even though they are small finesse baits, I've caught the most and my biggest bass and peacocks on these.
Avalonjohn44 reply :
If you can find them in a decent color, Wave Worm's Tiki Snake is a crazy good bait. A fat bodied worm with a curly tail, it came in a 6 inch version. I have horded about 6 bags or so, most of them have be pieced back together with Mend It. They keep producing.

JeziHogg reply :
a carolina rigged Jitterbug.
Washout reply :
I wish I had something secret to share, but my consistent producers are ribbon tail worms and beavers. This spring has had me fishing small lizards and that's the only thing I've caught fish on so far this year. Spring fishing has me scratching my head.

Do what now? The hard bait jitterbug?
Mike2841 reply :
Don't remember the name of the color off the top of my head, but the original Zara spook black with the white markings on it like ribs. Also any topwater with an orange dot on the bottom of it

Ya man, it works. Just make sure its the pink colored one.
Raul reply :
I swear to you guys, I don't have a secret lure, I'm pretty much conventional.
bassh8er reply :
Was Northstar a "Top Secret" jig 2 months ago?
Glenn reply :
What is that supposed to mean?

There ya go stealing my lines again.
Honest to goodness bait that I have never, ever mentioned anywhere, to anyone previously. Gene Larew Mega Ring Tube. More fish have been caught in clutch situations for me than with anything else. I have one tied on from ice out to ice up.

Lol sorry everytime someone asks me irl what I'm using, I always refer back to the c rigged hula popper.
Smallmouth Hunter reply :
Lately its been a jerkbait rigged on a dropshot.
frogflogger reply :
Furbit - I tell folks about it now that I no longer fish tournaments - people have a difficult time understanding it is much more than a frog bait - much more. But you gotta believe.
A-Jay reply :
Don't have any secret baits, just secret spots.
Many of which are obvious and in plain site.
However, when visited under the cover of darkness, yield very worthy results.
Early in the year, a Rapala Subwalk can be very good. (During the day of course).

Where have you been, I miss you sarcasm.
"Secret Lures" is just a spoof to get attention. None of these are
secret and I have posted reports of success on every one of them
over the years or since introduction. The real service I hope a thread
like this provides is a guide to building a small collection of tackle
that gets it done!
Good luck!

Your welcome.
I completely disagree and can't believe you would even mention that bait. This was supposed to be the "Secret Bait" thread with whatever the top producer in your box is.
The real secret bait is: A 4" green pumpkin stick worm.
FishinDaddy reply :
My humminbird. With Wayne's help on setup, it has my back to the bank and I'm catching more quality fish than ever. Fishing a fluke over submerged grass that no one else fishes has got my per fish average up to around 3 lbs.
Munkin reply :
3/8oz buzzbait
5" senko
Rebel pop-r
Norman DD22
1/2oz jig
All on an alabama rig so I can cover all possibilities in a single cast.

McAlpine reply :
Ok seriously....
The one thing I know I can always get bit on when the chips are down. Cold water, warm water, moving water, doesn't matter. J7 Black and Silver jointed Rapala.
Just flat catches fish anywhere.
Teal reply :
Jigs- hop them, drag em, dead stick em, skip docks, swim them, stroke them, fish em deep, punch them.
The only thing that really changes is the trailer or type of trailer and the weight and the head shape.

Brian6428 reply :
Berkley Havoc 5" bottom hopper in black. It has caught me more fish on a dropshot than any roboworm or hand-poured plastic I have tried.
CWB reply :
Alot of what RW said. My secret is the GYCB 4" Fat Ika, rigged backwards.
Crankinstein reply :
Believe AJ already said the same thing but I don't have any secret baits just secret spots. I've got a secret cove or two on every lake around me. My go to baits are all really common, the only one that really flies under the radar is the Rick Clunn Freak Jr. which is a really awesome little crank.
Crappiebasser reply :
Mine is pretty basic but I have never been skunked fishing a 6" dead ringer in watermelon chartreuse on a Owner sled head. It works year round at any depth on every on every lake I fish.
Bluebasser86 reply :
Black and blue home made bladed jig. When I'm in stained water and need a big bite, that's what I reach for.
Bankbeater reply :
My top secret lure is a Heddon Big Bud. Doesn't mean I use it though.
bigbill reply :
Top secret lure?
That's all the lures in my tackle boxes that catches fish.
Secret? No way Wal-Mart has them, dicks sporting goods has them, so does BPS and Cabelas too.
Just pick one and practice your presentations with it. The bass will let you know when you get it right.
This is a lure
It's special to me
It catches bass
When nothing else works
This lure is mine
There are other lures
That are like it
But they don't work
Like my lure does
This lure is mine

Who wouldve guessed
TrapperJ reply :
Saturday i had some confirmation on a few of my go to lures. Not really a secret lure but i'd say square bill the real secret is on how its worked, i will say if you aint crash'n you wont be cash'n! ha
I was sticking my 8' rod about 6' in the water to get it down deeper seems like when i got bit is when it was bumpin and running into things.
