What's that one secret lure.... 2024


fishing user avatarFishin' Fool reply : 

What's the one secret lure that you haven't even told your buddy in the bass club about because it works so well? For me I'd say a Reins Bubbling shaker. I have it in the 4" size for drop shotting but I'm gonna try the 5" and maybe 7" for the Neko rig this year.

 

Maybe secret lure isn't the proper term. More so lure that flies under the radar or doesn't get much press or attention that you've had success with. Sorry for my poor wording.

I'm sorry but I'm fishing for money I might not fully give up the truth on what I was using. I was talking to a guy at the fishing show over the weekend and he told me that when he was catching them real good on a whopper plopper he would just say buzzbait.  Ehh close enough.

Yes I think the pros use lures sometimes for years before they release the information to the public. Probably mainly what we are missing out on is more finesse stuff from Japan lol

No secret but my go to confidence bait that only a few people know about is an 1/8 shaky with a 4" magnum finesse 

Zoom worm.  The other I'll use is a 6" inch magnum BPS finesse.  I think it is called the fineke.

McDonalds french fry dipped in cocaine. Most people just assume it's a white trick worm. Once fish have had a taste thay get super angry and fight like you wouldn't believe. Occasionally they just get paranoid and won't touch it. Please don't share this with anyone who doesn't frequent the internet.

On a side note, I've been told mixing up your retrieve with a Keitech Crazy Flapper can be fruitful.

I haven't but I definitely should give a look into it. The bubbling shaker is just the absolute perfect worm for the clear waters i fish where drop shot is king. The way it kind of suspends and quivers is just insane, can't say enough good things about the whole lineup of shakers.

I hooked up a 5" shaker on a Neko rig and tested it in the tub the other day. It looks amazing.

Ok this is kind of funny.. I believe in Asian language (it might just be Chinese or Japanese or some other) they do not use any L's in their language... I've constantly heard radios , TV shows and people speak without using L's when this (Asian) language is their first language.. like 'rove you' and "rifting weights " .. idk how true it is but the fact that it's bubbling shaker and you say it says on the package bubbring.. is more than coincidence it seems.

I tried to say this on a thread a few months ago. And @J Francho thought it was just the craziest idea that I would ever use a carolina rig for bedding fish.

19lb smallie bag says otherwise.  Sandy bottom, windy so the visibility was not awesome and they spawn deep up here (8-15').  We could see something down there.  Fan casting all over and pop it back.  Gulp gulp gulp.

It actually has something to do with the way the tongue and mouth move to pronounce words in certain languages that make it difficult to pronounce words in other languages. I saw someone talking about the different British accents and she mentioned that it was all about training the tongue to pronounce words in other languages properly.

@frosty yea that makes perfect sense. What I'm saying is they don't make the "L" sound because it's not in their language.

 Do you mean the giant buzzbait I saw KVD throwing, and allowing to sink to 50' , pulling up huge smallies with? "Oh, Dang!" I was supposed to keep that to myself. Oh well,.  Im sure he'll understand. It's not like his livelyhood depends on it.

 And the flytying vise I have on the desk over there holds no secrets either. I just tie for fun, it keeps me busy. Like they say,...Idle hands harbor evil intent. So,... I tie on my skirts on just to keep them up, Hairjigs are for my evil idle hands, and thoughtful innovations towards forage base, is just for looks.

 Secrets? do I type short posts? Offer help to those who are learning? There are no secrets on the internet, everything here is well known, tried and true. Photoshop is a farse, and foreign women really do "love" american men, marry one you'll see.

 Bubbring shakers?,..accents? I live near boston, accents says you? I have no accent, its the rest of the country that has a funny accent. After all, it all started in a pub downtown in the mid 1700's, and "we" have a funny accent? (insert banjo music from deliverence) "I pahk my cah in harvid yahd" ,...lol

 I got a secret for ya. but you must promise not to share it. shhhhh! if you tie on a hook, and add on a live worm, toss it out there and wait, something will bite. Im tellin ya it works! I know, i know, Im amazed too. First time I tried it I was astonished too. Now be sure to keep it to yaself, ok?

 Modern science never ceases to amaze, Oh I know, closer to "beam me up scotty!" it couldnt be, right. Like there will ever be a devise that we can hold in our hands, and have the information we need, ability to share it, and still be able to talk to your friends as well. Next thing ya know, we will be seeing fish on a tv screen, with the capabilties as a computer. Ah Huh, I got a bridge in New York for sale you "need" to buy to.

 

 Secrets? pishaw! who would do such a thing, especially a bass angler no less? The thought horrifies me! I'd bet you think the next Bassmasters Classic will be won on a certain worm, and then that worm will ever sell? Who would ever fall for such a ploy? I know I dont have a couple totes of gear I bought because I thought I'd need it, Or saw some angler on tv use it on lake fork, and my idea was, "well, it works for him, why not me?" So i ran right out and bought some.

 "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!",.... "How long do you stay fresh in that can anyways?,...ha ha ha",.. "If I only had a brain, a heart, da neorve!",.... As my favorite local bands big song is "Dream on" ,... here we all sit, dreaming of that "secret" to come along and put us on that magic bite. Im tellin ya,,...it's out there, really,.. it is. Buy my sponsors magic brand x "secret lure" and you too will find valhalla.

 

 It used to amaze me, the "Lure" of concept, but these days Im not so amazed anymore. Any secret soon will be mainstream, our ability to share info via the internet has changed everything. If I didnt have this laptop the California spotted bass record, would be area specific info only,... My next tie at the vise would probably fail miserably,... and the op's question, simply mute.

 

 We all have a opportunity to share here, learn here, even cut it up like I just did. I feel compelled to thank all of those responsible for such. Otherwise, we all would still be out there surfing the web, looking for that secret lure. I,.. for one, will tell you,.. 

 

 There are no secrets anymore, The lightning fast internet and the available marketing these days, see to it.

 

 Dont believe me? Im sure Donald Trump was a  Alice Cooper fan as a teen, as,...he was,...Elected,....how did he do it, askes you? social networking!

Maybe secret lure isn't the proper term. More so lure that flies under the radar or doesn't get much press or attention that you've had success with. Sorry for my poor wording.

 , and a blinkah? is the not so evident automotives directional, or turn signal that not many around here use anyways. And when someone from here single finger salutes you for not using it? be sure to smile and waive, they'll appreciate it.,...its a common gesture,..Munchin bugs?  means eating lobster. a sub? is a hoagie sandwich,.tonic is soda or pop,... yeah, you know, coca-cola,,..... and a fluffenutter? just needs to be experienced,...just to clear up a few misnomers.

 Secrets? do I type short posts? Offer help to those who are learning? There are no secrets on the internet, everything here is well known, tried and true. Photoshop is a farse, and foreign women really do "love" american men, marry one you'll see.

 Bubbring shakers?,..accents? I live near boston, accents says you? I have no accent, its the rest of the country that has a funny accent. After all, it all started in a pub downtown in the mid 1700's, and "we" have a funny accent? (insert banjo music from deliverence) "I pahk my cah in harvid yahd" ,...lol

 I got a secret for ya. but you must promise not to share it. shhhhh! if you tie on a hook, and add on a live worm, toss it out there and wait, something will bite. Im tellin ya it works! I know, i know, Im amazed too. First time I tried it I was astonished too. Now be sure to keep it to yaself, ok?

 Modern science never ceases to amaze, Oh I know, closer to "beam me up scotty!" it couldnt be, right. Like there will ever be a devise that we can hold in our hands, and have the information we need, ability to share it, and still be able to talk to your friends as well. Next thing ya know, we will be seeing fish on a tv screen, with the capabilties as a computer. Ah Huh, I got a bridge in New York for sale you "need" to buy to.

 

 Secrets? pishaw! who would do such a thing, especially a bass angler no less? The thought horrifies me! I'd bet you think the next Bassmasters Classic will be won on a certain worm, and then that worm will ever sell? Who would ever fall for such a ploy? I know I dont have a couple totes of gear I bought because I thought I'd need it, Or saw some angler on tv use it on lake fork, and my idea was, "well, it works for him, why not me?" So i ran right out and bought some.

 "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!",.... "How long do you stay fresh in that can anyways?,...ha ha ha",.. "If I only had a brain, a heart, da neorve!",.... As my favorite local bands big song is "Dream on" ,... here we all sit, dreaming of that "secret" to come along and put us on that magic bite. Im tellin ya,,...it's out there, really,.. it is. Buy my sponsors magic brand x "secret lure" and you too will find valhalla.

 

 It used to amaze me, the "Lure" of concept, but these days Im not so amazed anymore. Any secret soon will be mainstream, our ability to share info via the internet has changed everything. If I didnt have this laptop the California spotted bass record, would be area specific info only,... My next tie at the vise would probably fail miserably,... and the op's question, simply mute.

 

 We all have a opportunity to share here, learn here, even cut it up like I just did. I feel compelled to thank all of those responsible for such. Otherwise, we all would still be out there surfing the web, looking for that secret lure. I,.. for one, will tell you,.. 

 

 There are no secrets anymore, The lightning fast internet and the available marketing these days, see to it.

 

 Dont believe me? Im sure Donald Trump was a  Alice Cooper fan as a teen, as,...he was,...Elected,....how did he do it, askes you? social networking!

 Not that I'm political, just proving the point that the internet is what it is, secrets beware

Now I'm late for work :lol:

@frosty yea that makes perfect sense. What I'm saying is they don't make the "L" sound because it's not in their language. 

I guess it could be, my experience with the Asian languages is pretty much nonexistent.

It's no secret but I know few who use it. If I absolutely have to have a fish I will get a Siebert Outdoors 3/16 Zenith shakey head tipped with a Zoom 4'Dead Ringer and go to work.

1/4 oz. Acme Kastmaster spoon, in chrome or silver. In this modern world of  A-rigs, whopper ploppers etc, I find myself thinking about the stuff Paw Paw would have thrown. That part about the wand is pretty on point as well.

Now some people throw it with the stick still in. I call those people amateurs. Nobody worth their salt throws a corn dog with the stick still in it. You have to remove the stick first. Also you shouldn't be throwing this on anything less than 100# flouro-braid. I use a 1/0 J-bend circle hook snelled. Match it with an ultra-light baitcasting rod with a Zebco 202 spincast and you have the best big fish catching set-up ever. There, I've told you my secrets now leave me alone and get off my lawn.

Mustard, like salt not impregnated into the bait, washes off real quick. That is why I have engineered a corn dog with a mustard (and garlic) taste. It will be released at this years Icast show. B)

Your assumption is incorrect. Its more like a spybait without the prop which we all know is only there to get caught in the line so it doesn't work properly.

Do I also need a custom bass rod with this corn dog, or will I be ok with a regular bass rod?lol


fishing user avatarbmac31 reply : 

In recent years the chatterbait was a technique that the pros won with and were still able to keep hidden for a couple years. Then there was the whopper plopper. Now I heard Ehler has someing new to do with a hair jig. Not sure if it's a new technique of a new jig style. Wish I knew, lol.

fishing user avatarrboat reply : 

Not sure if it's a secret, but I did see a kid doing pretty good at a local pond and he actually was using gummy worms. He used em t-rigged and snacked a couple himself. I was impressed.


fishing user avataryosef reply : 

The bass on my home lake love the spook jr and these anise flavor worms made by Kelly, the hooks on them suck but they work very well on that lake when the bite is tough

The true definition of a 'Secret' is something you tell one person at a time.

But telling one person a secret on Bass Resource, is telling 58,000 people at once.

Ok this is kind of funny.. I believe in Asian language (it might just be Chinese or Japanese or some other) they do not use any L's in their language... I've constantly heard radios , TV shows and people speak without using L's when this (Asian) language is their first language.. like 'rove you' and "rifting weights " .. idk how true it is but the fact that it's bubbling shaker and you say it says on the package bubbring.. is more than coincidence it seems.

For those who are interested, I can actually remember this being covered in a Linguistics class in college.  It's a bit like how the letter "c" can form a "k" sound or an "s" sound, or "g" can sound like "g" or "j".  In Korean and Japanese, one letter represents the "r" and "l" sounds, and it varies by context.  That's a simplified explanation, but (a) it was a long time ago and I've forgotten most of the details, and (b) this is a fishing forum and you're not that interested.  

 

It took me awhile, but I always assumed the name was because it had rings.

Super secret lure. Strike king 6xd, in a super rare hard to find sexy shad.   Hehe. For real though if I had a secret lure it would be a Hinkle, phoney,  or a much easier to find Lockhart lures chuckNspin


fishing user avatarcgolf reply : 

Mine would be the orange cream TRD that was tearing them up for me till I lost it. Well heck now that I think about it I gave that secret away on Twitter and Instagram lol. Now I have to wait for more to turn from pink, er bubblegum, to orange cream, so I can get back out there and toss em again. 

 

The only secret I really have is tossing certain baits in areas that nobody is crazy enough to try.

The Producto Tournament Worm isn't talked about or fished much by most people outside of Florida. 

It was one of my go to worms when I lived there.

I've had some recent tournament success with them here in Tennessee. 

 


fishing user avatarmcfishing620 reply : 

5/8oz Xcalibur one knocker in chrome/black. Caught probably 10 different species of fish on them. They work year round, any conditions. 

 

Booyah is making these now, and I talked to a sales representative for them and he said they are making this color again, it just hasn't been released yet. It was discontinued for like 3 years and they are currently selling between 10 and 20 each on eBay. They're that good, trust me. 

 

To put it in perspective, I caught like 90 something bass up to 6 pounds within 6 hours on this lure last year. I retired that lure bc the paint was completely eaten off and it was still catching fish.
