Your "go-to" bait when fishing is really good...??? 2024
Shadcranker reply :
When it's really tough, I down-size and throw a shaky head, drop shot, or bitsy bug.
When it's really on in the Spring, and everything seems to work, what do you like to throw?
For me, in order:
1. Topwater (pop-r or Sammy).
2. Fluke in clear water
3. Jerk Bait in clear water
4. anything on a TX rig (lizard, tube)
I love the visual element of Tw fishing, and in clear water, I love watching a fish rollup on a fluke or senko (same with the jerkbait).
Also, love dragging a worm rig around when they're hammering it. Never know how big it is until it tugs back.
Thefishy1 reply :
Albino Fluke
Texas Rig- its just fun to fish aroung people who dont really know how to fish and are amazed at how you know the fish are biting without a bobber

flippincrazy reply :
I love flippin', but if the bite is really on, spinnerbait for me.
LakeAnnaBasser reply :

Ryan_Johnson reply :
Anything that lets you get a glimpse of the fish blasting it! I would have to go with....
spooks
subwarts
sluggos
roadwarrior reply :
Jerkbaits.
This is not my most productive technique, but it's my favorite.
Low_Budget_Hooker reply :
A cigarette butt.
When the bite is really on, I like to use this window to dispell myths and prove a few points that I believe in like,....color matters VERY little, there is absolutely no need for a $25 finish on a bait, fish will eat just about anything that looks edible and catchable, etc etc
My 1st vid for 08 will show us catching on 10-15 DIFFERENT colors (from merthiolate to pumpkin) in the same day, on the same body of water, using the same bait (as an example)
Jake. reply :
1. Buzzbaits
2. Jerbaits
3. Crankbaits
John J. reply :
I get out on the lake early in the morning and throw topwaters (spook, popper, frog, etc.) Then when the sun comes up I trade back and forth between a wacky rigged Dinger/Zoom finesse/Tiki Stik/other cigars, and a texas rig.
When I am out into the open water, fishing deeper structure/cover I tie on my peanut butter/jelly jig with my homemade jig trailer, my Rapala Countdown or drop-shot rig.
When I fish shallow I throw top waters, spinner-baits, floating jerkbaits, shallow cranks or weightless worms.
fishfordollars reply :
Anything that I can flip or pitch...
Tokyo Tony reply :
Anything topwater. I'd rather catch two on topwater than three underwater.
TournyFish001 reply :
1/2oz spinnerbait
Luhr Jensen speed trap
LC RC 2.5
BassinWill301 reply :
Pop-R and a hollow bodied frog in the morning. When the sun shows I will throw a jig or texas rig.

I hope I'm there for that 8-) I will be having fun watching you and watching them come up and kill my buzzbait or sucking down the Flukey (in every color zoom makes) 
SBM-RL reply :
When the fishing is really good i throw spinnerbaits so i can fish faster or ill throw a really big soft plastic and go for a pig.
JigNBig reply :
1/4 oz Black Cavitron buzzbait or Yellow weightless trick worm.
basspro48 reply :
When it's really on, I love to throw a Stanley Bull Ribbit frog over really thick grass and through shoreline cover, and I also love to pitch and flip jigs and t-rigs to shallow cover...
The_Natural reply :
Low Budget Hookers is right on...just fish your favorite bait. What do you do when you are hungry?! You eat whatever is in your cabinets. It may not be your favorite food, but it is there...and readily available. When bass are heavily feeding...color and bait selection are at a minimum.
FishTank reply :
When everything is working and the fish are just hit like cazy, I go to a Booyah buzzbait and a Lucky 13. It doesn't get any better than topwater.
ga_hawghauler reply :
if the topwater bite is on I love throwing a buzzbiat or fluke
guest reply :
Basically any weedless bait that sinks to the bottom and catches fish if I just drag it with a twitch every now and then. If I had to pick one then it's a dice toss between a carolina rigged senko (basically a pegged bullet sinker distanced from senko, no swivels or beads) and a jig and pig (plastic not pork).
5bass reply :
When they are chewin' everything in sight, I have two favorites. #1 is the crankbait. #2 would be something I can pitch, usually a jig.
LCpointerKILLA reply :
Whatever I was using when I found out that the bite was awesome
F15HGuy reply :
Crankbaits and t-rigged plastics.

x2!!!!
Waterwolves reply :
If they are really feeding then I will go to a two rod approach. I will throw a rod that has some kind big fish lure on like a jig and pig and a rod with another bait that catches a lot of numbers like a spinnerbait.
guitarkid reply :
suspended twirl tail worms on a slow retreive.
jfowler reply :
jig-x
tube-x
3" crankbait that I painted
plnoldrick reply :
1/4 oz white buzzbait if the tops on fire and my super secret tube if things are hot under the drink
cajun1977. reply :
i was watching a show and they were talking about changing it up when the bite is hot. They said when the fish are aggressive its a good time to experiment with lures when the bite is tough and you experiment you may find lots of things that dont work but if you experiment when the bite is hot no telling what you would find out,along with gaining a ton of confidense on lures that you wouldnt normally throw
Willzx225 reply :
When the bit is on, I will usually be throwing a spinnerbait or a shallow running flat side crankbait. If it were in a tournament setting I would more than likely upscale the size of my bait since you can only weigh 5 and I would be able to sacrifice the bites in order to get a kicker. But its hard to beat a 1/2oz double willowleaf spinnerbait retrieved just under the surface when they are on! I can't ever get enough of that.
tritz18 reply :
Whatever catches the most fish that day ;D
Siebert Outdoors reply :
spinnerbait
buzzbait
trap
crank
Notice that they are all baits that cover lots of water fast. No reason to fish slow if the fish are in a frenzy.
Dirk_Jig---Lure reply :
When the bite is real good, that's when I like to change up a lot. Try some of the things I have been throwing around in my head. Get a bite on it and move on to another new bait. This gives me the confidence to throw these newer baits again in the future.
Kick.N.Bass reply :
My all time favorite lure is the Rat-L-Trap, in FireTiger, I just have confidence in using it. 2nd I would have to use a Spinner Bait, either Red/Black or White/Chartruese depending on the water clearity ofcourse. Then I guess it would be a toss up between a Football Jig with a trailer, or a Texas rigged Soft Plastic Stick Worm, for that Spring fishing, the bigger the better, but atleast a 5" worm.
Korea_Bassin reply :
When the fishing is really good, that's the time to throw your favorite topwater bait. Theres nothing like the explosion of a bass hitting a topwater lure. My favorites...a buzzbait, a Jitterbug, a rubber frog, a Sammy. (Don't make me narrow it down to just one. :-/)
RoLo reply :
When the fishing is really good, I'll normally take that opportunity to experiment with different lures and retrieves,
usually any lure except my "go-to" lure.
But when the fishing is really tough I find myself leaning heavily on "paddletail worms".
Lately, other lures have been jumping on the 'paddletail bandwagon' such as senko and basstrix.
