Your go to bait!!

g-man · Post by **g-man** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 1:15 pm

If you could only have one bait when out fishing. What would it be?

For Clear Lake, and the Delta mine would be a rod strainer Jig Brown/ yamamoto single tail grub

For all other lakes 3/8 football head hula grub cin/blk flake.

I'm not talking about hog hunting just for numbers.

Right now I have to say shakey head worm as ever since I started seriously fishing this bait I feel like a damn crackhead--I cannot put it down.

How about this as my go to bait:

A plastic worm, a hook and a weight

With these basic components I can utilize several different presentations.

For numbers, for me, you cannot leave that darthead jig out of the equation ... especially for those spotted bass lakes. I've also caught my share of bass from the Delta and Clear Lake on a darthead as well.

Cooch · Post by **Cooch** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 2:16 pm

Gimme a jig, 365 days a year, anywhere on this planet, I can catch a bass, or any fish species fer that matter!

Phil Burgess · Post by **Phil Burgess** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 2:19 pm

Year round I go to a C-rig with either a lizard or a worm. Clear Lake it would have to be a rattle trap.

Mike · Post by **Mike** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 2:30 pm

Cant believe no one said Senko! For #'s all year long?? Jig and Senko catches em'

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 2:32 pm

Fished right, I would have to agree with Mike. The senko.

Joe W. · Post by **Joe W.** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 4:00 pm

6" Straight tail roboworm. T-rigged with 1/8th oz bullet or on a dart head.

tunaeater · Post by **tunaeater** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 4:11 pm

For numbers or under tough conditions..by far drop shot..8lb floro..small gama dropshot hook ..aarons magic robo..4 or 6 inch any lake

biteme · Post by **biteme** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 5:13 pm

I hate it, BUT Senko all the way.

RichThiel · Post by **RichThiel** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 5:27 pm

Jason,

LOL,,,Look again.....The flag states its the 19th Hole on Tour. Opposite it is the 20th where last night a 6lb 3oz came to play on Jigs and woody's. The woodys played well along the Main Ruff wall.

Ran out of Flags, them coyotes play hard at night.

RAT-L-TRAP! its more versitile than most think!

bassenvy · Post by **bassenvy** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 10:40 pm

really hate to say this but senko or dshot robo combo for numbers...not the most fun to fish but closest to live bait imo

TTaylor · Post by **TTaylor** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 4:34 am

Jig with either a Zoom or Paca Craw trailer

Watermellon seed brush hog and color the tail with the chartrusse Yum marker.

Kevin Evans - Kap · Post by **Kevin Evans - Kap** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 9:15 am

As far as numbers, When the bite gets tough my confidence bait to catch bass anywhere is a t-rigged 4" ribworm on a sliding 1/8oz bullet weight.

Kap

L Dub · Post by **L Dub** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 10:47 am

I would say senko. Smoke hula grub on a 3/8 oz jig takes a close second.

On another note...

What size/ kind of hook are people using when throwing a 5" roboworm/ strait-tale worm?

NaCl · Post by **NaCl** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 12:14 pm

Shad colored spinnerbait...fish it fast, slow, yo-yo, deadstick, bulge it, stop'n go, deep, shallow, fished in weeds, through snags, bounce it off pilings, skip it under stuff, muddy water, clear water, running water, still water....there's no more versatile and adaptable lure.

Just my $.02

.....NaCl

Ray L. · Post by **Ray L.** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 12:53 pm

Cooch and I think the same..... JIG.....JIG....JIG..... with a twin tail trailer.

ash · Post by **ash** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 1:04 pm

This is my Go To Bait, and my Favorite bait. If I was stranded on a deserted island I may not eat fish everyday but I would have fish to eat every day.... a close second for just putting a fish in the boat would be a Darthead either on a tube, worm, etc...

Phil · Post by **Phil** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 1:15 pm

THE 6" RUBBER WORM, SINCE 1958

JIGS

basstamer · Post by **basstamer** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 2:06 pm

4",6"or 7" Roboworm Aarrons Magic on an 1/8oz Darterhead.

HawgCatcher · Post by **HawgCatcher** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 6:02 am

That's a good question. In the Delta and on Clearlake, for me it would either be a Jig or Spinnerbait.

Terry Smith · Post by **Terry Smith** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 6:29 am

Mothers 6" #39 c-rigged, Texas,and Dart will catch fish every where.

GITBIT · Post by **GITBIT** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 7:29 am

Most of my numbers come from a dart headed 6" worm, pearl Super Fluke, and a watermelon Senko. The drop shot also catches me numbers. Toss in my jig rod and spinnerbait rod and I might be able to get by with 5 rods on the deck. Too many choices!!! Can tackle buying be considered a disease? If so, I don't have long to live.

1/0 EWG.

Last time I was out I ran out of those hooks and was using a 2/0 superline red hook and hey bit those too. Although it may have been a little big for the bait.

Only one bait? Hmmmmmmmm, well then I would have to say if I had to chose only one bait it would probably be a Drop Shot rig, you can utilize that anywhere on this planet to get your numbers. Second to that would have to be the good ole faithful jig..
