Double Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hello- Looking for recommendations for baits that kids can throw for bass. We typically throw Scum Frogs & Senkos. Looking for other baits that catch bass, but equally as important, that are kid-friendly. By that I mean easy for a kid to throw and to hook bass on. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

JBMasterAngler Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 How young are the kids? My kids are young, so I have them use torpedoes, jointed rapalas, or flat raps. Real easy to cast, and stay on/or close to the surface so they won't get stuck too often. They really get a kick out of it when a bass or pike explodes on a surface lure.

RuddyDuck Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Try a Spinnerbait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighbor_guy Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Pre rigged worms. like these. The weedless ones too. The hooks tend to be small and crazy sharp. The fish often hook themselves even by trying to spit the bait. Just toss them out, let them sink a little and reel them back slow. No need to "set" the hook. A fantastic way to introduce kids to bass fishing. Craigums and NELS-BELLS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Z Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Jigworms are easy, and great fish catchers. Or Swimbaits? I'm just talking a Mushroom head and the "swimbait" style trailer. Those catch tons of fish and cast like a dream, and a single hook is also kinda helpful when the inevitable happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delmuts Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I agree with the swim baits on a jig head, or a weedless swim jig, Many different trailers to use, and don't over look a skirted grub on a jig head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RK Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Swim jigs are great for kids. Can easily throw them on a spinning rod with braid if necessary, and they catch bass, pike, rock bass... Plus they're pretty snag-free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfshin24 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I was going to say the swim jig as well. Catches a lot of fish and does not snag easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NELS-BELLS Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Another vote for pre-rigged worms. Spinnerbaits still catch fish also. Nels Edited June 14, 2016 by NELS-BELLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookincalifornia Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Don't forget toads. Easy to use, hard to snag, one hook, and draw vicious strikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
