What Is Your Confidence Bait? 2024
Blues19 reply :
If you had to catch a limit of fish and you had to throw one bait, what would you throw? What is your one (or two if you want) confidence bait?
Mine is a T-Rigged Green Pumpkin rage Craw. 2nd would be 1/4 oz booyah chartreuse white tandem spinnerbait

Nodda4me reply :
NSCB jig with Rage Craw, or, if I only had like 10-20 minutes, I'd probably start with topwater, Rapala Shallow Shad Rap. It also depends on what time it is. Bass usually slam top water during 6-8 AM where I fish.

Inline spinner............underrated/overlooked by many bass fisherman and flat out catch fish 
Siebert Outdoors reply :
Black and Blue Big O Brush jig in 3/8-1/2oz.
LuckyHandsINC. reply :
My number one confidence bait is a zoom fluke in glimmer blue color.
I use it in the top of the water column 99.9% of the time.
If I want to get deep my go to bait is a 1/2oz football head custom tied on a revenge jig head.
J Francho reply :
My confidence bait changes, sometimes throughout the day, over a a few weeks, or season. When I figure out what the fish are doing, and start getting bit, I develop confidence in a particular bait. Could be a jig, crankbait, soft plastic, frog, you name it. It really depends on the water and the fish. I have a ton of confidence in a frog on my noontime shore spots. But on Erie, I have another couple lures that are my go to - a frog is not one of them.
I will say, I throw a jig just about anywhere I fish. So if you had to pin me down to just one, that's it.
Hawghead reply :
I like a sort of hybrid rigged baby brush hog. I guess its is a speedier and simpler version of a Carolina Rig. I simply clamp on a split shot about 15-18 inches above plastic bait, but the splitshot is below the bullet weight. It lacks the clackers and noise of the C-Rig, but is much faster to retie and adjust as needed.
I also am gaining confidence it my jig with a crag trailer. Other confidence baits are senko styles lures T-rigged weightless, or Bomber Model A's in brown crawdad.
Lip 'em! reply :
Anything on a shaky head!
AndyTN reply :
A 3.5" tender tube with a 1/8oz tube jig. Second would be a 10" T-rigged worm in a dark June bug.
