Favorite lure

[Bassmaster]

Lets start a topic to see what everyones favorite lure is.

My favorite lure is probally a Rapala DT-16.
I just bought it to try it out used it one day and caught a bunch of bass. I also caught my biggest ever on it 21 in LM.

My secound favorite would have to be a texas rigged tube.

jerk shads or the old berkely power pogies, they came in big sizes for jigging muskies and large pike, small enough to thump for walleyes and erratic enought to catch stripers, white, wipers, largemouth and smallmouth! tip the pogies with a bass style jig head and your set! Or a 4/0 tru0turn hook through the jerk shad working weightless on the ledges and edges!

Mepps Comet #3 or 4 for smallmouth. On the Mississippi(near St. Cloud) a friend and I caught 27 smallies with this lure last Wednesday. The biggest was 19".

My favorite lure would have to be a Tube rigged weedless, great for skippin under docks where the big ones live.

I have become a huge fan of the Rapala DT cranks. Last year I bought a few DT-10's and DT-16's and did well on the deep weedlines for active summer fish. This year I bought a new DT-6 and used it around Brainerd on bass opener in the cold, rainy weather and they loved it. I always do best with a variety of crank and pause retrieves. I'm surprised the DT-16 is already finding deep bass.

Gotta stick with the Old Traditional favorites: Spinnerbait/Rattle Trap

[Captain B.R.K]

#1: Spinner blades
Though this year I've learn to fish with Baby Minus 1's on the St. Louis and they are great! Very close #1.

my number 1 bass lure is a white 3/8oz spinnerbait with 2 silver colorado blades and a yellow trailor. I fish this bait fast and it puts a quick limit in the boat for tourneys.

Scum Frog!!!!

[Captain B.R.K]

Let me rephrase my answer....spinnerbaits. Use em' in any color, but white's mainly.

[SCUMFROG]

SCUMFROG.

If I have to explain it you wouldn't understand.

booya..

I've found a bunch of favorites over the years, but most recently I've started using inline spinners for smallies on the river and have had great success. If anyone sees any Terminator inline titanium spinners on sale, pick them up or email me as to their where abouts for me... (just got two @ gander for 75% off).

Other than that, my go to baits are smoke, black or green with red flake tubes & white spinnerbaits. My favorite to get top water on is scumfrogs & zara spooks and it's not one of my favorites but surprisingly I always seem to have one tied on because they are so effective - senkos (or any other senko style stick type bait).

For me.. hands down.. the jig and plastic pig

then I like to mix in a variety of other stuff.. but love fishing a jig.!

[Snag]

I really enjoy fishing a jigworm. The exposed hook makes for easy hook ups.

[Spinner1]

Yeller spinner bait for bass. But when I want variety, a Johnson Silver minnow or a small Mepps will catch almost everything that swims in the lake.

[ChrisR71]

Jig and pig. There is nothing like that thump!

[rascalP]

I agree Chris, -- touch-bait, be it jig-n-pig or t-rigged worm -- something about that THUNK - reel down, and set the hook on some good meat. That's really satisfying. HOWEVER...

Topwater frog through the pads -- BAMM, What a RUSH!!

Or how about throwin' a sluggo shallow and seein' a bulge of water and wake movin' in from 4 feet away.

Or how about... Oh never mind.

I honestly do not know.
Depends on time of year, and whether its smallies or largies.........

Too many to list.

[Dan Wood]

Yea that thump on a jig is something you don't get worm fishing very often... They really inhale the jigs.

Oh, and for color, must be black/blue your talking about - I use this color combo at least 75% of the time I'm jig fishing...

[Bassmaster]

I'm don't really know how to fish jig n' pigs could you guys give me an info on fishing them.

[Guest]

I have never fished with Senkos.
What is the key to fishing with them?

Do you use them shallow or deep, and do you fish them like a worm?
Also how do you rig them?
and what colors work best?

[bklimek]

For consistently catching big fish jig and pig hands down and for me there is only color but you will have to figure that one out yourself. I have been introduced to Senkos this year and will fish with those more, next best thing to cheating.

[DAD-N-EYE]

I agree with rascal with the jig and pig and also with the frogs. But I dont have the patients to worm rig a lot.
