First Bait 2024
Bass Angler Magazine reply :
Do you remember the first bait you ever bought ?
Tuckahoe Joe reply :
Yup. It was a long long time ago. Actually, it was more like 2 or 3 months. My little brother set me up with some of his extra stuff to get me started but the first I ever bought was a 1/4 ounce Mepps Aglia Inline Spinner. Got it snagged after 3 casts and lost it. After that I picked up a Scum Frog Popper and a couple Bandit crankbaits.
loodkop reply :
I bought 3 Heddon top water lures with money I received for my 6th birthday. Crazy Crawler, Meadow Mouse and a Tiny Torpedo. The mouse had a metal lip and a leather tail and it drove the farm pond bass crazy. I still have the crawler 37 years later.
Bluebasser86 reply :
A prerigged Creme worm with the spinner in front, I caught everything on that little bait.
Sam reply :
I wish I could remember what I did yesterday as opposed to remembering what was the first bait I purchased.
I do remember some important "first purchases" in my life but not any bait or lure.
Am I old or what?????

Bluebasser, don't tell anyone but I still use that Creme bait and will be using it in a tournament next weekend.
scaleface reply :
My first was an L&S jointed lure that looked like a bullhead. Never caught a fish with it.
Crestliner2008 reply :
Heddon Lucky 13, red head shiner pattern. Bought it around the early 1960's to go along with my Pflueger "SilKast" knuckle buster. Still have the Silkast and a tubular steel rod it is on. 
Shane J reply :
The first lure I ever bought, was a Hula Popper, and the first plastic I ever purchased, was a bag of white Slug-O's. I was 7 or 8 years old, and that popper caught me my first big fish (probably 4-5lbs), but hooked me for life on the thrill of bass fishing, especially topwater.

I wish I remembered what my first bait was. I think when I got back into fishing some of the first baits I bought were senko style worms.

I'm in the same boat. I could name five or six and maybe it was one of them and maybe it wasn't. If I had to bet on it, I'd say an original #7 Rapala. Black back, silver body. I remember saving two months worth of allowance to buy it.
ww2farmer reply :
I do not remember the first bait I bought when I was a kid and just started fishing, but I do remember what I bought first 8-10 years ago when I got back into fishing after a long break from the late 90's till then. A pack of 4" Senko's.

Haha that was mine to though I didn't catch squat on it.
brushhoggin reply :
the first bait i ever bought were earthworms
CoBass reply :
I have no idea what the first bait I ever bought was but chances are it was some kind of inline spinner because I was into trout fishing way back then. I do remember the first bait I used when I decided I wanted to target bass. 1/4 oz rattletrap, chrome with a black back. Caught a couple of 2 pounders that day and I've been chasing those silly green fish ever since.

I landed my very first bass with that lure! The Creme was my primary lure back in the mid sixties. I remember getting it snagged once and I went in to get it back...we didn't have a lot of money in those days and I wasn't about to lose my favorite lure.
Bankbeater reply :
No, but I do remember the first one I hooked myself with. It was a Wiggle Wart.
tytay89 reply :
black buzzbait, the classic clapper not a wisperer
Knightiac reply :
Some 8" pre-rigged worm with three hooks in it, front middle and end. Had no idea how to really fish it. I threw it in the water and sat there for thirty minutes without moving my line. Saw the line move and set the hook. Good times lol.
tholmes reply :
A Lazy Ike, yellow with red spots. Caught my first non-live bait bass on it.

#3 Mepps Aglia
Chris reply :
Smithwick horse fly
Silas reply :
About 60 years ago.....a Heddon RIVER RUNT!!
And the cool "trick" at the time was to "notch" the front line- tie eye with a file, up high so that when you tied the bait on it would run DEEPER! Of course, deeper in those days was about 6-8 feet
But to a Cajun in South Louisiana , "Cher, dat's deep, yeah!" Our depth finder was our fishing pole.....we stuck it in the water and if we couldn't feel bottom....that was Deep!
deep reply :
Think it was an X-rap size 8. I haven't been bass fishing that long.
youngbuckanglers reply :
Roostertail 1/8 all the way!! I was a creek trout fisherman until i found bass. i tried a roostertail and had luck and loved the fight! still use them today!
Ratherbfishing reply :
It was one of three baits: a creme worm with harness, a Mepps aglia spinner, or a beetle spin. I'm almost embarrassed over the number of baits I have now.
greyleg33 reply :
Ha! I'm at least a hundred but I think it was a Rapala Jerk Bait.
