Whats Your Hottest Lure? 2024
bigbill reply :
What's your hottest fishing catching lure? The one you mastered with every
presentation. So which lure and which presentation has earned you a PHD in success.
Mine is the BPS XPS TOPNOCKER. I give it three twitches with the rod tip and a pause. If I get strikes and misses I adjust the pause to a longer one. This lure by far is easy to use.

This year it's been the North Star Brown Craw jig with a Falcon Lake Rage Craw. This combo has been the best producing so far. A close 2nd would have to be the Green Gizzard Shad 4S from Strike King.
Fishes in trees reply :
Over the past month, my best bait has been my home made jika rigs (roughly + or - 1/2 oz in weight) combined with some soft plastic, ZOOM Brush Hogs and YUM Zellemanders have worked the best.
Bankbeater reply :
This year it has been a hollow body frog. Once I realized that it can be pulled through just about anything and not hang up, I started playing with different ways to bring it in.

Rage Craw. Either on a Tx Rig, or as a jig trailer.
Dyerbassman reply :
This year, Pit Boss and Craw Fatty texas rigged.
Jigfishn10 reply :
I've had more success on a lipless crank this year than any other lure. I thought the lipless bite would die down in the summer, but it remained hot.
JeziHogg reply :
Toss up between a Netbait T-Mac (Bama Craw) rigged on a 1/4 Shake2 or a KVD 2.5 Sexy Shad. I caught an 8lb smallie on the 2.5, but the bulk of my fish have been coming on the T-Mac.
Jolly Green reply :
4" white Zoom fluke, T-rigged with a small finish nail embedded in it for weight. Bass, 'gill, turtles, frogs, and even ducks smash it. Stupid ducks.
trupp30 reply :
This summer it the brush hog bite has been red hot here in RI.
BassinLou reply :
This summer, although slow, I have to say has been the hollow body frog. My fairly new avatar pic was caught on a frog last month.
Blues19 reply :
90% of my casts this summer have been with a Spro Bronzeye Frog in the color Red Ear. Once you catch a fish on a Frog its hard to put it down. Ive become so much better at waiting to set the hook that I have a erally good hook up ratio now.
5dollarsplash reply :
I'm with everyone else who said frog. Black and red Booyah Padcrasher has really been producing well for me.
I've made a point to try more techniques this year, but the frog continues to be the ticket.
smalljaw67 reply :
My hottest lure that I feel like I mastered and that has always been my go to has been the spinnerbait, but if you are talking about just this year so far it has been the swim jig!! I make a swim jig in a color I call green gill and that bait with a River Rock swim grub on the back has done the most damage so far.

Shut yo mouth!
That's my finesse rig.
olegs reply :
Senko 5" and T-rig Powerworms. It was a new techniques for me this summer. Before I mostly used crankbaits and spinnerbaits and thought that fishing worms is so boring. I tried it and was surprised how it is efficient. I caught a lot of bass including my PB 6.5 LB.
Grizzn N Bassin reply :
right not it's gotta be a senko or jig/ spinner bait..

You should try a weedless hudd on a split shot rig. LOL.
JTMONEY606 reply :
we have caught alot of good bass this year 2 3 and 4 pounders even a few 5's on dingers wacky and sticked, my buddy likes smokey shad cause where we fish theres alot of big shad. i lke the red shad and the june bug dingers too. i have missed about 3 good bass on frogs this year, just last night i missed a monster on a spro bonzeye popper frog in killer gill color. had my drag set too lose and he came off under a patch of grass. i still love the frog but im getting tired of missing big fish with them. seems like you have wait a second then pull up very hard idk.

thehooligan reply :
Buzzbaits and ribbits
evobowhunter reply :
Really depends on where I am ... I don't really always stick to one hot lure regardless of where I go. At one lake I walk poppers over bream beds on flats, on another I set up on a rocky bank with wind blowing parallel or slightly towards the bank and let the wind push my down it as I make long cast with the wind and burn lipless cranks back to the boat, and on the river since it changes so much ill flip grass, squarebill jetties, or walk poppers over submerged cover depending on the flow and water level.
But this year my go to has been a fluke most of the year when I really need that bite and within the last couple outings ive resulted to deep cranking ... but normally its walking baits (for me that includes poppers) or lipless cranks.
Primus reply :
Crankbaits are what I feel is the bait class that is my strongest suit, though swimbaits are what I've enjoyed the most the past few years despite the ups and downs associated with learning big bait fishing.
On tough days this year my best combo has been what I call the Shaky Senko, which is a custom handpoured no salt bouyant 5" stickworm on a 1/4 oz or 3/8 oz Picasso shaky football jighead, very consistent bait for me and I seem to catch a nicer grade of fish over a dropshot rig or fishing shaky heads with skinnier worms.
Also, swimming a Sworming hornet with a lake Magic Shad ( thanks roadwarrior for recomending that trailer a few years back ) has also been very good the past 3 years or so and what I like about it is that not a lot guys in my part of the country throw this as well as the shaky Senko that I mentioned.

bartdude186 reply :
Weightless fluke, i know that the fish WILL bite other things, but it seems like every time i fish a fluke its hard not to catch fish, that being said when i have a fishing buddy in the boat they always wanna try one so i rig them one up and 90% of the time they don't even get a bite, even after fishing it exactly like i do. It is a joke between all of us now that i put something on theirs to make the fish not bite haha.

Hmmm...that's a crazy awesome looking worm...how are you moving it and where are you tossing it?
Bluebasser86 reply :
As usual for me it's been a jig. Been getting a lot of fish on a chatterbait again this year also both the jig and chatterbaits are my home made versions.
whitwolf reply :
A R.I. smallie and sweet beaver in fried watermelon during the day and black/red flake at night.

Have you tried this on a shakeyhead? I use a Zenith shakeyhead from Siebert outdoors and It's been a great bait!
Felix77 reply :
Finesse worm - trig, mojo, wacky, drop shot. The only thing I haven't done is use it as a trailer.
paul25 reply :
