Favorite Big Bass Lure.

Most anytime most anywhere you can't beat a 1/4 - 1/2 oz black blue jig with a 4" gene larew salt craw. However when the water is the warmest during that mid summer period I feel a t-rigged brushhawg style bait will consistantly get bigger bites. Thats been my experience anyways.

Oh and double cowgirls work to. 5lb class fish on sugar and had one of the biggest bass I have ever seen follow one to the boat on mille lacs.

Both myself and clients.

Spring was the senko or a knock off.

Summer was a Zara Spook and slug/mushroom-head jig combo

Fall to freeze up Blue/black 1/2oz. pig and jig combo

All of our biggest fish came in the fall, which has held

true since we started guiding up here in 1999.

My favorite big bass baits are in no order...

-Stanley Flat eye jig (Blk/Blue/geen with a flippin blue super chunk or chigger craw, 1/2 or 5/8 oz.)

-Zoom Brush Hog (pumpkin with a screw in florida weight and an owner 5/0 riggin hook or J-hook)

-All terrain roller jig (moynaghs magic with a Yamamoto green pumpkin spider grub)

And in the Fall a spinnerbait with a fluke on the trailer hook

as a kid, my biggest bass used to come on a doug hannon snakebait. now i go with a frog. (slow down)

bass get big and fat the same way i did. eat lots and excercise very little. that is why jigs get big fish, low risk, high reward.

i have found the tails of crappie skicking out of the throats of more big fish that any other forage. for that reason, i'm gonna add the kickin' slab to my big bass aresonal this year.

TonkaBass,

Question for you.......I like the Stanley jigs too, but moreso on the lighter side for a slower fall, all the way down to the 3/16 ones with Zoom mini and super chunks. Do you prefer the heavier for the milfoil pockets to get through the "stuff"? I'm located close to 'tonka, should I be going to heavier jigs in general there vs. non-foil lakes?

Thanks, Chris

I cant wait to try that kickin slab also. Not only do I want to try it for bass but I want to try it for northern. I have seen several big northerns down the ice hole that had crappies in their mouth.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
