What's your current favorite lure? 2024


fishing user avatarHook2Jaw reply : 

What is your current favorite lure, soft plastic or hard bait?   If you can't narrow it down to one, give me a few!  I'm just curious and thought it would make an interesting thread for folks to partake in today.

 

As for me, my current favorite soft bait is the YUM Pulse 4.5 Paddletail.  I'm amazed at how the rib set up on the sides truly does keep the bait at depth more efficiently than other paddletails I've used in the past.

 

As for hard baits, I'm late to the club but the Z-Man Original Chatterbait has been a blast.  When I first tried it the summer before last I was just burning it close to the top, but after tying it on several weeks ago and applying some of the methods I've read about it started to catch fish for me and the feedback of the blade just stopping or getting the rod snatched out of my grip has been a blast.

Big suprise.......a Senko.:P  Doesn't work everyday but the most consistent producer in most all conditions.  Hard bait would have to be a SPRO Little John original.  Those 2 and a Yamamoto DShad are ALWAYS rigged whenever I hit the water.

fishing user avatarGlaucus reply : 

My favorite lure isn't something I would just always fish with, but it's the Whopper Plopper. I just love to bomb it out there and fish it back to me knowing that there's a good chance it's going to get annihilated.

 

I also like squarebills, lipless cranks, chatterbaits, Senkos, Ned Rig, jigs. That pretty much does it for me. Chatterbaits do me way better than spinnerbaits, and I like jigs way more than Texas rigs (I started on the Texas rig years ago but honestly just don't like to fish it anymore), Senkos are always good, Ned is my favorite finesse tactic, squarebills and lipless are always good.

  I still fish a Jelly worm most of the time but any worm will do . As far as hard baits , my number one bait this past year was a hand poured  buzzbait . The slop I was fishing in made it difficult for a lot of lures and  the buzzbait worked well around it . The old Excalbur spinnerbait with counter rotating blades was a very close second .

Never thrown the ploploplop, and don't own any.  What rod would you recommend for them?  A 6'6" MF is my current rip/topwater rod but I think it's a bit light.

MH for 110 and 75. M for 90. Don't fish the 130. 110 is way too heavy for a M, but 75 can be fished on some M rods. It's 9/16oz or about 3/5oz. It will load many M rods passed the comfort zone. The 110 is well over 1oz. The 90 is only 3/8oz.


fishing user avatarthe reel ess reply : 

Black & blue jig and craw. i made a serious effort to get better at it this year with a lot of practice and ended up catching a PB. I used it every time I went in 2018.

Runner-up is the War Eagle Gold Shiner tandem willow spinnerbait, which caught my current PB.

Of course, there is a chance I catch a PB on something else...

 


fishing user avatarNYWayfarer reply : 

My current favorite lure is my Rebel Bluegill squarebill. I changed the stock barbless hooks to some Eagle Claw Laser Sharp red trebles. I throw it on a size 300 spinning reel and 8lb Fluorokote line.

 

I thought I lost it last month but was able to catch it on another lure and reel it back in.

fishing user avatarHook2Jaw reply : 

Thanks for the rod recommendation, @Glaucus!  My current 7' MH has Fluoro on it, which keeps dragging my spooks under.  I may have to grab another Aird-X and string it with mono.

 

@the reel ess, I also became comfortable with casting jigs this year and it landed me my own personal best!  I tend to drag a 7.5" worm Texas/Carolina when I need a fish, and a jig and craw when I want a big fish!  :) you should try pitching your jigs, that's been fun for me.

 

@NYWayfarer, I have fond memories of Rebel craw crankbaits and Rebel floating jerkbaits from way back when I'd go visit my grandfather.  I miss fishing with him so much.  That's a sweet little crank.

I do pitch them. The PB I caught under some overhanging brush. It immediately buried itself in the brush and I had to force her out. That fish had a huge gut but i didn't have my phone that day for a pic. Funny thing is, the next PB I caught on the spinnerbait was about 50 yards away from that spot, looked exactly like that same fish and weighed .2 lbs more. It's in my profile pic. In my mind, it's probably the same fish, but since I let it live, that's 2 fish for me!

For me, the fact they make gold ones with a gold shiner skirt. Gold shiners are a primary forage in the place I catch the best fish. The PB wrecked my War Eagle gold shiner SB. I still have it, but the head is loose and it does not appear that the wire is directly connected to the hook. I ordered some replacement shirts to use on other spinnerbaits that I've lost the skirts off of.

@Catt, now you've got me googling.

 

@2tall79, unweighted or weighted?  I've never tried them weighted, and after hanging them up unweighted I always return to texposing them.

I feel like I'm pretty bad about fishing lines that are at the low end of what is required for the presentation except finesse.  I've drop shotted with 4#, but beyond that I'm typically using 8 or 10.  I have a spool of untouched six.

 

What pound line and type are you using when throwing the ned?

I don't have a favorite, I usually mod and change the blades and skirts on most. I like Stanley's, Booyah, Mann's Hank Parker, Humdinger, and a bunch of others, but I usually pick up a bunch on sale and fishing show/flea markets, cause I'm just using the bodies most of the time. I will say that a willow/colorado catches fish most every where. There is so much to spinnerbait fishing (as with most lures) than just chucking and winding as some think. Other than crazy cold water, I always have one tied on, and they are just fun to fish and extremely versatile.

I threw them quite a bit when I was younger, and have tied them on a few times and caught quite a few since my fishing return.  I'm a big fan of slow rolling them and throwing them into heavier cover ever since I was informed they're pretty weedless.

 

There is something very fun about a lure that really tells me what it's up to down there, whether it be a crank, chatter, or spinner.

Same here. It usually catches me some of my biggest prespawn fish every year, and is a great way to locate fish as they move up and down to spawning areas. I like the first cold spell after they move up in force, They usually stay shallow with their bellies on the bottom, and will only turn their heads and bite. My best lure for that. 


fishing user avatarSpankey reply : 

Soft plastic a RoboWorn or GY Cut Tail. 

 

Hardbait some type of Rapala. Shad Rap, Risto Rap, DT. 

 

But it if it were life or death and I had to take two lures with me to catch a bass it would not be fishing my favorites.

No man. Pretty far off. In all seriousness it would be a Berkley Power Worm and a Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap. 

 

Hope to never be put in that situation. But let’s say we were in season and it was a real real tough pull your hair out type day. Nothing was happening. I’d just clean off the boat deck, gather my thoughts and have those two things rigged up. I feel that strongly that I can/will make something happen with them. Might be a dink or runt but a bass. Heck I might just go home skunked who know but I do fell that strongly about those two lures. Old Rat-L-Trap saved the more than once. Old Rat-L-Trap was the lure that caught my first fish of the season on more than one occasion. 

 

I’m pretty sure we all have those baits. Even though not your favorite. 


fishing user avatarWRB reply : 

My favorite lure to fish are any top water lure because the strikes are exciting and enjoy casting and working them.

My most successful lures per man hour fished are finesse worms on a slip shot and drop shot rigs, boring and my last choice to use but can't remember not catching bass using them.

My favorite lure to use are my hair jigs with pork rind trailer followed by spider jigs with double tail soft plastic trailers. I always fish jigs during a outing and spend more time on the water using them. 

My second favorite lure is T-rigged big soft plastic worm and often alternate worms and jigs on the same areas.

I like to fish big swimbaits but they are not my go to lures unless I know a swimbait bite is working. Same with crankbaits and enjoy casting and working them but not a go to lure. I also like to use structure spoons when they are working but I am not a numbers guy that smaller size school bass tend to be.

I just like catching bass and use everything including using my sonar unit.

I am using 10# PP yellow braid with 7# Sunline Sniper FC. Most of the time I am using a 1/16oz head.

With water temperatures near freezing this time of year it’s a gold or perch blade bait.


fishing user avatarDorado reply : 

For numbers and size - the Ned Rig was solid this year and addicting. Love light line fishing too with light drag and finesse gear. Even caught a ton of nice cats fishing it at night from shore. 

 

Runner’s up - fished the Zoom Ultravibe Speed Worm for the first time this year and so happy I did. It’s one of the most versatile worms out there and covers all water columns effectively. From waking to dragging..... it’s action-packed. 

 

 It’s a blast to use it as a “search bait” to cover a ton of water quickly. Cali 420 is a killer color for me!

Rage Swimmer latley


fishing user avatarrtwvumtneer6 reply : 

My vote for soft plastic has to be the Rage Bug on a 4/0 Trokar Magworm EWG hook.  50# braid, #20 fluoro leader, if necessary.  Tungsten from 1/4-1/2oz and a high speed reel.

 

Which leads right into my favorite hard bait, a jig.  Lately I've been liking the Missile Ike series Flip Out and Mini Flip.  3/8oz has been my sweet spot for the waters I normally fish.  The torn up Rage Bug is one of my favorite trailers.  

 

As far as colors go, 90% of the time I'm throwing black and blue, or green pumpkin, or some combination of the two.  I'm really starting to like a green pumpkin trailer on a black and blue jig.  Depending on the conditions I'll chartreuse the tips on the green pumpkin, and I always smear on a little Liquid Mayhem or MegaStrike attractant.

 

Fun post... But now I'm extra sad my water is hard ????

fishing user avatarpapajoe222 reply : 

Although I absolutely love throwing my spooks, without a doubt a jig/trailer is my favorite. That combo accounts for a minimum of 50% of the bass I catch throughout the season. Jigs, however, only account for a very small portion of the lures in my possession. Based solely on numbers, cranks top that list.

I like this thread and all. What guys favorites and all is interesting. I’m realizing now that I don’t really have a favorite. Maybe my favorite is whatever is working at the time. 

 

I’ve also had days down on the river pulling my hair out to the point I packed up the boat and battened everything down and said “I’m outta here”. But only to pull out my grub bin container with some 3” Power Grubs in it, 6’10” ML xfast st. croix w/ 6# test and a 1/8 oz. jig head. Tell myself I’m staying, I’m not getting skunked.

fishing user avatarSpankey reply : 

I’m seriously thinking about picking up another 3700 series box and go through my stuff and pull out a bunch of old school plastics, hard baits, jigs, and topwaters. Proven stuff that I’ve gotten away from for one reason or another. Things change and that must be the nature of the business. I’m surprised that many major companies have not kept up with the times. You hear a lot of talk about how the bass get use to seeing certain things. May or may not be true. But if that be the case I have stuff that they have not seen in a long while or in their life time. 

 

I’m not referring to antique lures but lures and patterns from the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s.

One of the most awesome things I did as a kid was year we had the 17 year Cicada hatch. I was a caddy at a local golf course.and when we (the foursome) would get close to a water hole. I'd catch a Cicada and throw it in the water. The Cicada would start fluttering it's wings and buzzing. It would be buzzing and spinning in circles then Kasploose! The explosions were amazing when the bass would nail them.

Gotta love the waves lines. They're kind of like waftotrons, but for motion, instead of smell. Glad you appreciate them.

Link to the full length turtle-tossing video, which in retrospect, is WAY too long... apologies. Perhaps I'll learn someday. Or not.

Do you Texas Rig this feller or what?  Weightless?  Tell me more, turtle tosser.

 

Turtle tosser: That's got a nice ring to it. I hear a new username calling...

 

You got it: I just Texas rig it with a 1/4 oz tungsten bullet and throw it on 12 lb test mono with a M/F baitcaster. As you reel in the turtle the four appendages fwap fast but not furious. Think of it as low amplitude, high frequency!

 

In the lake I use it only in the shallows, coves, around docks, and out to about 100 feet from shore, most often in no more than 12 ft of water. Haven't really tried it out deeper as I don't think that's where tiny turtles are hanging out. Smallies seem to enjoy it. And largies too - just ask @LadiMopar :D

 

Someone at the launch told me I should lost the bullet and put a smaller crimp-on weight a couple feet farther up the line, for better action. Haven't tried that yet but might work well on a spinning setup.
