What's Your Go To Lure/ Rig 2024


fishing user avatarJWOA reply : 

I'm 16 years old I've been bas fishing for 6 years now. And I trying to fish every rig I know. How do you find out what's your best rig / setup? How did you know this was it?


fishing user avatarMrSwimJig reply : 

Mine is the swim jig. It just has been the best producer for me over the past 5 to 6 years and I have a lot of confidence in it and will throw it anywhere and at anytime and am completely confident I will catch fish with it.


fishing user avatarJmrichardson2011 reply : 

My go to lure is a texas rig worm. I can cast it into any tight spot, I know the various presentations well and can detect even light bites. Basically, one's go to rig comes down to what you want to throw and master.

 

I am a martial artist and we have a saying that I think can be adapted to fit here. The saying goes like this "don't fear the person who has practiced 1000 moves 1 time, fear the one who has practiced one move 1000 times"

 

Basically, what you decide to perfect will become your go to attack.


fishing user avatarsmallieking reply : 

I have two go to lures..... if the bass are chasing then I love to use a rapala dt4.... if there more sluggish and I need to work for bites my all time go to lure is a texas rigged zoom brush hog in watermelonseed color.


fishing user avatarJWOA reply : 

I'm trying to figure out mine.


fishing user avatarGaterB reply : 

Weightless zoom super fluke jr or trick worm in some type of green color combo.Takes patience, but bass can't stand something falling naturally in front of them.

I'll throw it on 8-12 lb fluorocarbon in light to moderate cover, but have also used braid when there's a lot of grass present. Mono will work too, just won't sink like fluorocarbon, which means you have to wait longer for the weight of the lure and hook to sink. I like to let it sink to the bottom and twitch it sharply, trying to hop it more than pull it forward so that it falls temptingly back to the bottom in front of the fish. They usually hit it on the fall.

Um....I guess i should be more detailed braid co plymer or fluro?


fishing user avatarGaterB reply : 

Sorry about that I had some technical difficulty on my first attempt to reply lol

fishing user avatarTkramer22 reply : 

texas rig senko or brushog (black and blue fleck, or green pumpkin) and a shallow diving kvd crank bait(sexy shad)


fishing user avatar38 Super Fan reply : 

I fish for fun, and for me, that means topwater. So that's become my go to...and a Sammy is probably my favorite, that or a buzzbait.


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

Jig, if I get to pick up my pitching rod with 17 or 20lb fluoro and a 1/2oz brush jig and never put it down all day then I'm happy, happy, happy!


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

Lately it has been a 1/8 jig. 


fishing user avatarCPBassFishing reply : 

A 1/2 oz. brush jig for sure. Black/blue or brown/greenpumpkin depnding on water clarity. I go down the bank all day pitching it, and it is fun!


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Right now it's a NorthStar Swim Jig with a Rage Tail Shellcracker trailer.


fishing user avatarPhlyborn reply : 

T-rigged green/ red flake Senko is easily the most used in my arsenal of baits and lures. Can be used anywhere you can cast it, with or without weight.


fishing user avatartallen316 reply : 

A Texas or weightless watermelon with black flake senko.


fishing user avatarQUAKEnSHAKE reply : 

For the past couple weeks mine has been the Kinami Palm Tree. My senko bite for some reason has been non-existent this year. The lipless crank bite has faded. My jig had a few taps today but no takes.  From running overtop of weedmats to bottom 20'-25' the Palm Trees have shined.


fishing user avatarBlues19 reply : 

Texas Rigged Brush Hog in Green Pumpkin, Watermelon Red, or Watermelon Candy.  Always seems to work, probably cause I throw it more than anything else.  Jigs are growing into my Go To or Confidence bait though.


fishing user avatarTexasRigger21 reply : 

3/8oz arkie head jig. Doesn't catch a lot of fish, but it catches some big ones


fishing user avatarbuzzfrog reply : 

Shakeyhead and if they day is going way of skunk... Throw on a frog on and have fun, cause a hog could eat it any second


fishing user avatarJWOA reply : 

Today it's been different caught a 6 plus on a lipless...usually my go to is Texas rig but with this overcast it didn't work.

I am definitely putting this someplace.  My problem is that there is so many fun ways to catch fish.  I really need to hunker down and perfect a precious few!


fishing user avataraqualkinbush reply : 

1/2 oz or 3/4 oz Spinnerbait chart/white with a red hook and dual Colorado blades.


fishing user avatarThatbasstardbrent reply : 

Honestly my goto lure depends on the kind of day/season. But my all time favorite lure the heddon torpedo is what i usually use.


fishing user avatarHeavyDluxe reply : 

Any number of soft plastics (senko, ika, craw/creature), tex-posed and slowly twitched back to me.


fishing user avatarJellyMan reply : 

Depends on the water.

 

But if it's a tough bite and I dont know the waters, usually a weightless plastic. Trick worms, brush hogs, speed worms, ect. 


fishing user avatarCurved reply : 

Very much depends on the water. If I'm stuck with one bass bait, right now its a 3" stick bait since it can catch numbers in a variety of presentations.

Rage craw on a rage rig

T-rigged Yum dinger
