Just wondering what you guys like for t-rigging. I know beavers and chigger craws are on the top of the list, but I guess I am just fishing for other options too...

[mww24]

good old fashioned twisty tail worm.

[Larson15]

Other than the beaver and craw style baits for t-rigging I would add ring fries, craw tubes, tubes, various creature baits and 7-10" worms.

[Deitz Dittrich]

if its made, I have t-rigged it.. I seem to throw Tubes and Worms the most..

[suncruiser234]

7" Berkley Power Worm or Lake Fork Craw Tube.

[goblueM]

4,7, and 10" power worms are mostly what i t-rig, but i'll use it to throw tubes and 4" grubs in the river for smallies, and occasionally creature baits or ring fry/pulse worms

[Wayne Ek]

I will try T-rigging or C-rigging just about any plastic. Most of the time in the spring I will start out with Rodents, Fry's, worms and craws. By mid-season I add Hogs and 10-inch worms to the A-team list. If I'm flipping, pitching or punching a pegged T-rigged bait then it is almost exclusively a Rodent or Craw.

[TonkaBass]

Right on... I got some hyper freaks and ugly otters for something different. I was just wondering if you guys had some creature. That's not as main stream that get them good. I have yet to toss the rodent wayne but I do like how its a different spin on a normal beaver.

Hiya -

I use Beavers and brush hog type baits flipping quite a bit. In mid-summer I T-rig 10" power worms on weedlines. A lot of the time though in clear water I use straight tailed worms. The fall faster and are quieter, both of which I think can help in clear water. Especially like them in rushes since they don't wrap around stalks as bad as an auger tail like a regular power worm.

Cheers,

Ditto on the 7" power worms and tube craws, I peg the tube craws pretty much 100% of the time and leave the weight free to slide on power worms most of the time. I'm excited to fish some of the new Havoc baits, I think they are gonna slam some bass for sure!

Anybody flippin weighted stickbaits?

Anybody flippin weighted stickbaits?

Shhhhhh

The last 3 years I have almost exclusively used the lake fork craw tubes for pitchin around shallow cover, by far the best bait I have ever used. I can almost always out fish people throwing big creature baits or chigger craws, beaver baits etc. If you haven't tried them you should get to fleet farm and pick some up.

[slopmaster]

I also use a wide variety of plastics. For sparse cover in more open water i use a lot of 7-10 inch power worms and 6 inch salamaders. For heavier cover I'll use sweet beavers, craws, tubes, brush hogs, and senkos. This year in the off season I picked up some havoc baits, zipper monkeys, and smokin roosters to play with and they all look like they could put a few fish in the boat.

Anybody flippin weighted stickbaits?

nope, the only way to fish those is wacky rigged

they'd never be good t-rigged

[Stick in Mud]

I second the Lake Fork Craw Tubes...even a neophyte like me can catch a green carp on them!

[bassfshin24]

I use a lot of craws and tubes. Im a huge fan of the strike king coffee tube 4.5in. I switch it up a little bit but for the most part it's either craws or tubes.

[RumRiverRat]

Anybody flippin weighted stickbaits?

Why?

Only way to catch fish with those is wacky rigged.

[Fairchild_82]

regular twister tail (green, orange, yellow) with a matching color jig. Gumball or fireball.. Deadly on the Mississippi and Rum. Especially in Anoka where the two rivers meet,JUST below the Rum dam, on the "Anoka Docks"... Cranks (shads, jointed shads, husky jerks) and Spinners (martins, mepps, blue foxes)in the summer months. River fishing can be non-stop action in the spring. Careful, there are plenty of snags to go around!!

[Hula_Grub]

Culprit worms, tubes, and Hula Grubs (spider jigs).

[Central Bassman]

SHHHHHHHHHHH

[Religion_Of_Fish]

Worms, creature baits, lizards, but rarely tubes. If I'm fishing tubes it's generally on a jig, with tubes you often have to go through two layers of plastic to rig it correctly unless either the hook is long enough or the tube is short enough to bring the tip through the open end. so I like the others for t/c riggin. I'm sure tubes, or any plastic would work though.
