"Most Productive Bait for Bass" Poll

[anthonyebola]

does it work any differently then a weedless frog??

[fish_finder]

I like them a lot better than the frogs, the rats and mice are a lot more weedless you can throw them in anything, plus they fill with water and you can really throw them far, they odnt have kicking legs like most of the frogs but i have more luck with them

for constant bigger fish you cant beat a stone cat aka mad tom or even a soft shell cray fish that is my opinion

[dugan127]

My favorite is a jig and a pig.

[redfin]

Minnows or Ribbit-Frogs are my favorite.

would have to go with plastic worms but crankbaits are a very close seacond for the little bit that I fish for bass and that is only with little time to fish and being closer to a bass pond or accidental strike when trout fishin  much rather catch a trout though

[jibbs]

i have been rocking the smallies and largies on lipless crankbaits made by x caliber

for live bait i use 2 night crawlers on a #4 hook and for lure, i use the thomas spoon in the gold color. both methods i kill it with.

I chose crankbaits, but its not really one of those things that has a definate answer.  When fishing new water i'll start with crankbaits, and MAYBE a spinner bait, something where i can cover LOTS of water FAST.  Once i start catching a few fish and taking note of what these fish are holding too, bottome structure,  weed beds, weed mats, water temp, and bottom configuration.  I will then slow it down with a soft plastic either on drop shot, carolina, or taxas rig, and target where these fish are holding to catch the less aggressive fish.  Throwing a crankbait is productive for aggressive fish and sometimes can help you find fish.  But once i get things figured out a little my goto rod everytime out on this particular lake will be some type of soft plastic rig.  But then there are those lakes also with big rocks and gravel or sandy shores that i will fish a crankbait all day long targeting the aggressive fish.

way to go steelie slayer , nice description. i like your style.

[pooley]

minnows kill them, but i rarely use them anymore. i've used just about everything at one time or another, and i all depends where i'm fishing. rubber worms most places, but sometimes crankbaits or spinnerbaits are my goto lure.

Thats a tough one. I dont think I have one. I got a few lures that are my go toos but as far as one? If I was on a lake with one lure anytime of the year it would have to be a
