Most Favorite And Least Favorite Techniques 2024
heyitzpetah reply :
My favorite fishing technique is probably either crank bait or top water. After fishing something fast it becomes so hard for me to slow things down and use something like a dropshot/texas rig worm. Thus, I get super impatient that I can't cover a whole lot of water in a short amount of time. I suppose if you want to catch fish you gotta do what you gotta do and give em what they want right?
Steveo-1969 reply :
Most favorite: Jig or t-rigged plastic.
Least favorite: Crankbait or topwater (aversion to treble hooks).
HA!!!!! 
RoLo reply :
Swimbait
Carolina Rig

A-Jay reply :
My favorite technique is what ever I brought with me, expect to catch fish with & actually do.
My least favorite technique is when the above technique does not produce.
So it changes for me - quite a bit.

Todd2 reply :
Most Favorite - Jig, it produces bigger fish for me.
Least Favorite - Jig, detecting strikes can be a pain. We're told to swing if you feel anything different. If I did that I'd set the hook about 10 times per cast on every rock or tree I hit.

Good summation.
You might consider trying a weedless swimbait fished on top of your favorite jig coverts.
Bass often hook themselves on swimbaits, and if there's any difference in mean size it might be upward

Raul reply :
I hate soft plastics and jigs.
I like spinnerbaits n´cranks.
Least productive but immensely fun are top waters.
Nice_Bass reply :
Least favorite= Junk fishing
If I have 2-3 rods on my deck it was a great day fishing, when I have 6 or more it is not a good day at all.
Favorite changes with time of year, but for year round I guess a big plastic worm texas rigged.
the reel ess reply :
Fav: Topwater Frogs (not my best technique, but the most fun I can have with my clothes on when it's working). Followed by all topwaters and wacky rig. I enjoy the techniques where you don't have to crank on the reel as much due to shoulder issues and using a kayak to fish from.
Least Fav: Well, dropshot, I won't even try. Jigs (I just use T-rigs instead). I don't think I want to spend all day deep cranking anymore.
Felix77 reply :
Fav: Finesse Swimbait
Least: Crankbait ... can't seem to get them working for me.
Shanes7614 reply :
Favorite is spinner bait buzz bait combo depending on water temp.
Least favorite is drop shotting although it does work and can produce pigs.
Senko lover reply :
My absolute favorite way to catch fish is on a buzzbait.
I really don't have a least favorite. I don't care for cranking, but it produces sometimes and I've caught some good fish on crankbaits. Honestly, I'll throw whatever I need to. I caught my PB dragging a bait like a Carolina rig 
.
Ozark_Basser reply :
It changes for me periodically, but the hollow body frog is definitely at the top of the list most of the time.
I guess if I had to pick a least favorite, it would be the Carolina rig solely to the fact I never use it.

Biggest punching fish I've gotten was barely 2.5lbs. I'm terrible at finding big fish in the thick stuff lol. I just get exhausted catching a 1lb bass and 12lbs of weeds lol.
Jar11591 reply :
Favorite by far is a topwater lure in open water, such as a popper or spook-type.
Least favorite: spinnerbaits. Never ever ever ever have even had so much as a strike from a bass. Great pike bait though lol.

Punching is something I want to try. There are mats of lilies in my bud's pond. I've used the frog there, but never tried to punch.

Least fav. What he said^^^.
WRB reply :
Favorites are jigs, swimbaits, big worms, anything top water, crankbaits, spinnerbaits and structure spoons.
Least favorite and most productive for numbers are drop shot, slip shot and nail weight worms. Only fish finesse when the bite is off, that is about 1/2 the day time during the summer period.
Tom
PS, should trolling any lure for any fish to the dislike list, except it's a very effective technique and teaching tool.

.
I use a T-rigged "Gambler Big EZ", but flank-rig the bait to increase the hook gap, and BURY the hook-point (no Texskinning)
To keep the bait running high (just inches below the surface), I use a small 3/16 oz bullet sinker with a punch stop.
You want a lead or steel 3/16 oz sinker, because tungsten has a smaller diameter which means a smaller weed-shield.
Rigged in this manner you'll be able to sled thru the heaviest spatterdock (bonnets). The more it bounces around the better,
the same as a crankbait deflecting off cover. Bass really slam swimbaits, and it still gives me gooseskin
when they blast it next to the boat 
Good Luck

HoosierHawgs reply :
Favorite:Power Fishing, all types. Squarebills, Spinnerbaits, Walking Baits. Anything I can cover considerable water with, and catch good numbers and size where I fish.
Least: Carolina Rig. To me its unwieldy, slow, and I have a hard time knowing what's going on beyond the weight.
Choporoz reply :
Most: I can have a good day throwing topwater within an hour of sunrise/sunset and a jig the rest of the day.
Least: I don't know...I really try not to get to prejudiced against any method, because I never know when I'll have to resort to it; and when I do, I know that any presentation will only work for me if I have some confidence to throw it correctly..... -- but, generally, flukes and dropshot mean that I'm starting to feel desperate. I've had good days with them and I hesitate to say that I dislike them...its just that when they come out, it means I've been struggling.

Sounds like Carolina rigs aren't on your favorites list either from another post you've made. Lol. Me as well.

I know how effective this technique is. I have two boxes LC Sammy and Gunfish.
I tried top water several times, but I didn't have any luck with it.
I always push myself to learn it, but delay it for next time. Maybe it's because I do well with t-rig and jig.

This weekend, I'm taking all that I learned from that other post and I'm going to slaughter them with a deep c-rig....
And, to be honest, I've done OK with lightweight c-rig on spinning gear up to about 12 FOW....I do have trouble casting one, but I won't deny it can be effective

Todd2 reply :
Lol, I didn't mean to reply above and the post here made no sense. I think made two posts on my phone from my pocket.
Mswen reply :
Favorite technique- Topwaters and Shallow cranks- Admit it, it's just fun when you can cover water quickly, you can float free of snags, and the fish hook themselves, or you have big blowups on the surface. I like to challenge myself, but I love those days when they just hammer anything that moves.
Least Favorite-- Lipless Crankbaits-- Why do these work so well for everyone else? All I catch are weeds and logs.
Close 2nd (LF)-- Carolina Rigs and Drop-Shot-- I had little use for these when I was fishing 5 acre lakes and ponds from the bank, but now that I have a boat and fish bigger waters, I'm having to learn some new techniques. I'm sure I'll appreciate them when I start catching pigs, but for now it's mostly awkward casts and lost rigs.
Kyrazzy7 reply :
Favorite- froggin. Buzz baits ( basically anything top water) and t-rigs
Least favorite- jigs, spinnerbaits, and swim baits ( as I am yet to catch anything but trees using these) ha
FrogFreak reply :
Fav-Poppers, walking baits, and frogs. If you don't love topwater explosions, there's something very wrong with you.
Least favorite- dragging plastics deep (t-rigged, c-rigged, drop shot). I'd rather stay home.
Canyon explorer reply :
My favorite method is fishing a Zara Spook in thin woody water on Table Rock lake, then switching to a Senko as the sun gets up.
My least favorite is power crank bait fishing.

MCS reply :

garvin reply :
From favorite to least favorite (in terms of what is productive for me in most situations)
- Carolina rigged plastics
- Texas rigged plastics
- Weightless Senko or Zero
- Ned rig
- Crankbaits
- Chatterbait
- Drop shot
- Shakey head
- Spinnerbait
- Skirted jigs/jig & trailer
buzzed bait reply :
Favorite = jigs in shallowish water
Least Favorite = jigs in deep water
not sure why, but these feel like 2 different types of fishing altogether for me. i also love some topwater, but it is far from my most productive way of fishing....
LTBC_mmcallum reply :
Favorite by far is a Texas Rigged worm. The hits are always fantastic and I've caught my biggest fish on this. When they won't hit anything else, they'll hit a worm.
Least favorite would have to be dive baits...end up catching either hybrids/stripers or just a lot of sticks...
dumfish reply :
Favorites: jigs, texas, and A frame spinner baits.
Least favorite: drop shot. It reminds me of junk fishing, but I'll do what it takes to win.

Joe H. reply :
Favorite: pitching a jig or t-rig
Least favorite: I've never had much success on swimbaits, so probably that.
MIbassyaker reply :
Most: Any plastic bait on a texas rig.
Least: Buzzbaits. I don't think I've ever caught a fish on a buzzbait. I'm even throwing them more than usual this year, having just bought a couple Cavitrons on the strength of recommendations by folks here. They're nice... but still, nothin'. Can't get a strike. I must be doing something wrong.

Use them around any cover or weed lines you can find. Work them as slow as possible with the blades still keepingn it on top of the water. Stick with white or white/chartreuse during the day. Black in low light conditions. Next time your driving around take your buzz bait and hold out of your vehicles window to make the blades spin. This causes some wear in them that could take hours and hours to achieve a squeal. For me they always seem to attract more fish once they have that squeal. Hope this helps. For me they are one of my favorite most productive baits I use.

The rule is no more than two rods with two hooks. Which means you can't have more than two rods in the water with more than two hooks on each rod at one time. But from what a DNR officer told me when I asked him about it was that lures like a jerkbait are technically one bait however an A-rig has several baits.
A lot of Illinois laws are vague and confusing. And thats from someone who lived in California....

Copy and Pasted off the Illinois DNR's website. "Alabama RigOn 7/9/2015 at 10:26 AM, Jon G said:Curious on how you are rigging the A-rig with Illinois's 2 hook rule
Credit: Brad Wiegmann
The new Alabama Rig is sweeping the nation, raising questions by anglers regarding its legality. The lure, which has five trailing wires to which five lures can be attached, appears to be a school of fish swimming through the water, making it attractive to bass.
The IDNR legal staff, working with the Divisions of Fisheries and Law Enforcement, has determined that the Alabama Rig IS legal in those waters in the state that do NOT have the "2 poles only with no more than 2 hooks or lures per pole" regulation.
Examples of those lakes where the Alabama Rig is legal are:
• Corps of Engineer lakes (Carlyle, Rend and Shelbyville)
• Lake of Egypt and Kinkaid Lake.
The Alabama Rig is also legal on most rivers and streams, including the Mississippi River between Illinois and Missouri, but NOT between Illinois and Iowa. It is also legal on the Ohio River, including Smithland pool. In addition, the Rig is legal on all private waters in the state."

I understand the regulations and what lakes allow the A-rig I was not sure if you were fishing lakes with the 2 rod 2 hook rule and was wondering how you had it rigged with only two hooks because I fish some lakes that an A-rig would kill in but I have yet to find an effective way to rig it with only 2 hooks

A 5-arm rig with a spinner blade on one arm and smaller 3" hookless swimbaits on the top 2 arms still has a nice bait ball look to it, and has been fairly successful for me. I always feel like I might be missing some fish that hit the teasers, but it still catches fish. In 3 hook states like Tennessee I usually go 3 baits and 2 teasers, and have had great success with that rig.
AdamsEye reply :
My favorite is finessing a weightless soft plastic in clear water with a reaction color. Watching those strikes can be just as exciting as topwater.
I don't really have a least favorite other then live bait. As long as I can fish it, even if it means dead sticking a bait, I find it all rewarding (When it works).

Topwater is my favorite, drop shotting my least favorite.

flyfisher reply :
There are definitely baits i enjoy fishing more but that is because they catch fish in an exciting way. Topwater comes to mind specifically. There are not really any techniques I hate but there are some I don't have confidence in or just don't use that often. Drop shot comes to mind of me. I know it produces well but i haven't really used it that much.
boostr reply :
^ This.
Favorite: Jigs, yeah definitely Jigs.
I don't think I have a least favorite. I've caught fish on pretty much all the baits I own. I never really tried a Carolina rig though

I would say that this is pretty spot on. I do like to fish moving baits though. I have trouble putting confidence in a Carolina Rig. I know that they catch fish, but it's more I just don't have confidence in my ability to fish a Carolina Rig effectively and catch bass on it.

Lately my favorite has been cranking, specifically the Rapala DT-4. It's been producing for me in my club tournaments. I would say frog fishing is my least favorite because of the terrible hookup ratio.

I fish C-rigs with a bigger weight than most and I guess faster than some with a constant drag across the bottom maintaining contact. Shaky heads aren't that slow if you have a heavy one, hopping it along the bottom. A weightless senco takes.......so......long to sink.
NathanW reply :
Favorite: Swing impact as a swimbait or on a swimjig. I want to catch fish shallow in cover.
Least Favorite: Drop Shot. It lost its luster after the 10,000th fish I caught on a drop shot. Sad thing about it is that I usually run three drop shot setups and use all three just about every time I go out. Despite my eagerness to avoid it flat out catches fish day in and day out around here of all shapes and sizes.

poisonokie reply :
Dude, I love every technique. I have almost as much fun putting rigs together and customizing cranks and I do actually using them. A big part of the allure of angling for me is the deception involved in getting a bite and seeing just what will be deceiving enough, which rig to fish and how to fish it. It just depends on the situation. And I can tell you that if a certain technique catches bass, it will be my favorite until it doesn't.
However, if I had to answer...
Favorite: Jigs
Least favorite: Buzzbaits

Not much love here for the c-rig or dropshot. I'd have to agree. If I'm using either of those, I've been having a bad day catching. But, I really despise trolling. If I had to troll to catch fish, I'd just a soon stay home.
Fav would be plastics of any kind, as long as it's not a dropshot or c-rig.
