Favorite springtime bait 2025
bradbass reply :
What is your favorite springtime bait can only pick one.
Mine would have to be Berkley babybass swimbait 5".
I used it last year for the first time and had spectacular results. Let that baby rest on the bottom and just work it along the bottom nice and slow then BANG!!!

patbfishing123 reply :
I would have to say that my all time favorite springtime bait is a lipless crankbait. In the spring, where i fish, the water is generally pretty murky, so i like to use a red craw pattern. I also like to have a real noisy bait so they can locate it, so i like to use the knocker baits by xcalibur. It can be a real exciting day in early to late april, catching fish of all sizes, but I usually get some of my biggest fish this time of the year!
dumfish reply :
Its all about water temp. 3/16 to 1/2 spinner baits, jigs with skirts and trailers or without skirts just a trailer.
tugsandpulls reply :
spinnerbait
Sleepless Weekends reply :
.I start off with the traps and jerks. Once the water hit 50 or so the jigs gets thrown as well.
A-Rob reply :
rattle trap for me
...followed closely by a jig and Pig
robdob reply :
if your fishing a smaller lake.. or a small bay in a big lake... a manns hardnose toad rigged on a weighted swimbait hook and dragged slow on the bottom works great.. 4 of my 5 biggest largemouth ever were caught in very early spring on this..... frogs spend winter buried in the mud and they dont' just go straight to the surface and swim around like all the floating frog lures they actually swim accross the bottom the manns hardnose toad dragged on the bottom is the most realistic frog imitation out there that i've been able to find
jig reply :
suspending stick bait ,rattle trap,jig,square bill crankbait
