"Most Productive Bait for Bass" Poll

[BoutTime]

Most productive bass bait for me is a 3 or 4 inch pumpkinseed grub leadhead on a spinnerbait arm that you can make yourself from Wally World. (so I guess my vote is other)

Fish em slow and deep and hold on!

hellgramites for river smallmouth, hands down

[ICEPAC]

Gary Yamamoto senko 3" cinnamon brown or pumpkinseed, or a corron cordell super spot lipless crankbait

[timbobber]

for largemouth in lakes I use plastic worms, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jitterbugs. for smallies in the river I use hellgrammites, and crawfish, and an occasional crankbait

Gary Yamamoto senko 3"

really, only a 3", i hate even going as small as 5" senko's, if i cant find them in 6" I usually dont buy them... do you mind telling me how you like to rig your senko's?

I don't usually use live bait for bass, but based on my success with tip-ups this winter, I'd say live bait is probably most productive.  I never use live bait when I fish from my boat, so my vote goes for senko type worms.  I catch a ton of bass with senko type worms.

They sell seven inch senkos i got a couple packs.  I have good luck in watermellon black fleck.  I rig the senko either in the middle as a wacky rig or texas rig it.

My favorite bait so far is the Yum Dinger.  Very similar to a Senko, but I'm convinced in the Yum scents.  I've fished them side by side and always do better w/ the Yum.

Buy yum scent and put it on senko then LOL

Yum worm is just about the best bass bait you can find. Different sizes and different for different areas. Jerry

A Texas rigged or wacky rigged Senko style bait (I prefer a Bass Pro Shops stik-o as there much, much cheaper) is a good bait for beginners as well as seasoned bass anglers.

[fish to live]

Senko  wacky style

[fishingood]

watermelon senko, texas style...

And also a relatively new generation of scented baits, known as Berkeley Gulp!!! have been working well for me for bass.. especially the watermelon minnow, and baby bass jerk shad patterns.

crankbaits all the way. you can target the whole water column with the proper crank depending on how fast you reel etc.

a floating rapalaor bomber that dives 4-6 feet catches the majority of my fish. Just the other day i used a lure like this with a

sunfish finish (since they are in to spawn atm) Ended up landing 33 larry's. With quite a few over 4.5-5 lbs. which is good
for my area.
