Carolina Rigs

arthurspooner13 reply :

Crankbaits.

My strongest is by far a spinnerbait, so basically i'll throw it in a lot of areas where others might throw a crank.

Grey Wolf reply :

MaxDal reply :

Definitely the French Fry .... I just can't seem to use it ! Even on when fishing a C-Rig !

I've have a few packs though ......

As for types of lures I don't fish, or I'm weak at : that will have to be hard swimbaits.

brgbassmaster reply :

mine is a shakey head...love power fishing

HPBB reply :

hard jerk baits

have many, rarely used them, and rarely catch anything on them

The Next KVD reply :

Hard Jerkbaits.

Handy reply :

Of the stuff I carry with me it would be a spinnerbait. I only use them once in a while and have only caught the occaisional fish with them. Next is the jig, I am going to try this year in earest to use them.

HesterIsGod reply :

Poppers, just can't seem to catch fish on them, don't know why.

Carolina rig, don't have confidence in it.

Popeye reply :

Spoons. I got 'em but never use 'em. Can't remember ever catching anything on a spoon and that includes Daredevils!

guitarkid reply :

Where should I start?

1. Cranks

2. Spinnerbiats

3. jigs

I am really looking to improve my skills with all of these lures this year

guitarkid reply :

For some "unknown" reason, I cannot get my banjo minnows, flying lures, rocket rod, or my light up crank to work either.

Nwfisher reply :

still a Senko virgin :-[

Going to improve dropshot and spinnerbait this year.

FR0G reply :

I'd say cranks, even though I catch fish on all my lures.

I wouldnt worry about that too much. Senkos are really easy to fish and virtually impossible not to catch fish with.

Bankbeater reply :

Weakest is a topwater. The most under used is a spinnerbait.

grimlin reply :

Chatterbait type....i have 6 and only one has been in the water for about 30 minutes all last year.

To be honest i doubt they will see water again this year.

guest reply :

Spoons and spinner baits/buzz baits. It feels like you are throwing a hardware store around all day! I know they are productive, i just ain't feelin it!

MALTESE FALCON reply :

Mine is the jig. They are my project this season.

Madhouse27 reply :

Rattletraps. The situation has to be pretty desperate before I resort to one of these. The only thing I can recall catching on a rattletrap is the back of my own head.

Jeff H reply :

Buzzbait. It's been at least 12 yrs since I tied one on, maybe longer.

Tin reply :

My biggest weakness would definatley be deep-water cranking. We just don't have the water for it up here. :-/

BassinWill301 reply :

Jerkbaits, definitely going to use them more this year.

BassFishingMachine reply :

My weakest lure is a crankbait, every time I tie one on, I just seem to clean the bottom. Again, Im bank fishing, and the water I'm fishing is 1-2feet with the deepest parts being 4--5 foot, and that isn't common. Lets just say the areas that hold majority of the fish are the 1-2 1/2 foot areas, and thats also where all the cover is.

Although I still plan to throw the crankbait here and there until I learn it, just because there may come a lake where the crankbait is the key bait, so I feel learning it is necessary.

LCpointerKILLA reply :

Very deep ice-cream cone bill cranks.

Joel W reply :

Guys, C-rigs and Drops shots are presentations not lure types.

As for me my weakest and or least used lures, Buzzbaits and poppers are

right on the top of my list. For topwater I tie one one and the next thing I know I cut it right off and tie on a Super Spook jr. Spoons/Silver Buddy's are my other not used enough lures. In hind site I missed a lot of opportunities this past late Fall by not jigging them enough.

Ky_Lake_Dude reply :

probably a c-rig, jig, and drop shot

Bob Kavanaugh reply :

Crankbait.

Period.

Lipped, lipless, 'spensive, cheap, whatever, definitely a crankbait.

BassinAssassin171 reply :

I'm gonna have to say a jig... i just can't produce with 'em

Vyron reply :

crankbaits , dont like em

Willzx225 reply :

Chatterbait... Guess they don't catch much when they don't get wet though I will let one swim this next weekend at the Big G though!

tyrius. reply :

Rattletrap and jig. Haven't ever caught a bass on either.

Those are the two baits that I will be working on the most this year though.

Tokyo Tony reply :

Rattletrap-type baits. Just don't have much confidence with them, but plan on using them more this year.

C-Rig. The few times I've used the method I've caught a couple fish, but in my eyes for the type of fishing I'm used to, there are usually better options (dropshot or jig). Plus when I feel like spending the time to rig one up, I probably set the hook when I shouldn't, and don't set it when I should :

jrhennecke reply :

C-rig. Just don't have to use it much.

FishTank reply :

Dropshot.

I have had zero luck.

Joel W reply :

For those that mentioned jigs. You need to dedicate yourself to learning how to work a jig by pitching and flipping. Just pick a few days out on the water and bring only one or two setups for flipping & pitching jigs. You need to learn what your jig feels like, and when it doesn't have that feel, then set the hook. If you have problems flipping and or pitching, practice those presentations prior to your days on the water. Practicing by pitching & flipping from the shore into a pond or lake will allow you to learn how the jig feels as it falls through the water column. Practicing on dry land will force you to thumb the spool to a complete stop just as the jig hits the ground, so you're missing half of the learning curve.

By forcing yourself to work only jigs it will give you confidence in them, especially when you start to finally boat some quality Bass. After all, jigs tend to catch big fish.

And when your working a jig along the bottom, work it with the rod, not the reel. By doing this the jig stays on the bottom where you can detect and feel everything it comes in contact with.

dumb_dog11 reply :

Well...

Rattletraps, c-rigs, and spinnerbaits

Hot Rod reply :
