Whats Your Top 3 Largemouth Baits 2024


fishing user avatarMikeOGNR reply : 

Hey i wanna know what is your top 3 largemouth baits in your opinions the ones you have the most confidence in to catch largemouth also i would like to see where you use these baits and around what types of structure do you fish them all response i would like to see in list form like this here is my top 3

JerkBait (Rapala Original Floater) - Used near docks and weed beds

Zoom Curly Tail worm - Used near docks rocks and sometimes deep structure fishing

Willow/Colorado blade spinnerbait about 1/2 oz - Used around docks and retrieved fast near points drop offs weed beds and rocky structure also near sunken trees usually instantly i catch a fish on these


fishing user avatarSDoolittle reply : 

It's hard to narrow it down to three baits, because I have confidence in many different baits. My absolute favorite technique is deep cranking, but it's not always effective, so I can't say that I have the most confidence in deep crankbaits. Looking at your question as if I had to pick only three baits to use with no knowledge of the body of water, I would pick:

1. Texas Rigged Gene Larew Salt Craw

2. Strike King Red Eye Shad

3. 1/8 oz Shaky Head with a Zoom Finesse Worm

I feel like I can catch fish on one of those three baits, under a variety of conditions, on just about any given day.

3. T-Rigged Rage Craw


fishing user avatarkms399 reply : 

1. Rage toad-------while I do use them in the pads my favorite is to cast them up into the grass or cattails and let it gently fall into the water, I feel like I don't spook fish by launching it right on their heads and I don't have to get the boat as close trying to get a soft landing.

2. white spinner bait------every where, if it is really deep I will put a bullet weight on the line I will fish them up to 20' deep but usually 1-10 feet the most.

3. senko-----------too easy I know but I am not going for style points ;)

Jointed Rapala- Anywhere near stumps or weeds. Any colors will work, I have done best with the black and gold ones and perch patterned.

Jitterbug- Stumps and weeds. Black has been my best color. Best nighttime lure.

Spoons- Deeper weedbeds. Five of Diamonds and Red/White Daredevils(same ones people recommend for pike).


fishing user avatarBrianSnat reply : 

1. 5" Senko or Yum Dinger in pumpkin, watermelon or black

2. Rage Tail Space Monkey (I've been killing the bass with these all year)

Before I discovered the Space Monkey this season I'd probably put a traditional, floating Rapala in gold or silver 3 1/2 inches in the top 3.

The responses to this post look like a lure catalog :D

My favorite lures are in constant rotation, but currently go something like this:

> Berkley 10" Power Worm

> Spro Aruku Shad (lipless crank)

> Strike King Rage Lobster

"Jig" wasn't mentioned, but both soft plastics above are rigged on unskirted jigs
