3” white grub on 1/4oz pink or white jig head. Keep it at about center dept and a slow to medium reeling speed and you will be sure to catch a bass. Floro line helps a lot too.
One of my favorite lures to use is a Jitterbug. It sits on the top of the water and makes little bubble sounds as it goes side to side when you reel in. I've landed more fish with this lure than any spoon or spinner. And you the bonus is you can see it hit your lure
J7 and J9 FLOATING jointed Rapala, Black/silver for smallmouth, Perch colorings for largemouth. Hit shorelines and draw along lillypad coverage just fast enough to pull an inch under the water and wiggle
Keep it simple yall, just throw a wacky rig senko that's all you need tbh idc of the fish are top of the water column, middle, or deep they'll eat the senko, I can't see a scenario where they don't eat it
I’d say the easiest bait for beginners that will get bit, is a whacky rig senko, they will probably catch a lot of dinks, but it is still fun and it will help them learn a lot about fishing.
1. squarebill crankbait or rattle trap that imitates shad or crawfish 2. soft plastic tube wieghtless for bass chasing shad or with a ned rig to imitate crawfish 3. soft plastic creature bait to imitate insects, craws, and even baitfish. texas rig, jig, or ned rig. all are for bedding bass currently
I had a lake in my backyard that had 8 lb, best lure I've ever used was a baby bass lure it was a 2 to 4 ft diver, when cast close to the bank with it and run it down the bank or cast from a boat close to the bank and bring it back it was like cheating LOL
Real slow almost dragging it and had small hops giving it enough time to fall back to the bottom if your not fishing with a weight you'll have to fish it a little slower than with ond
The way I fish plastic worms, whether with a plain jighead, Texas Rig, or Carolina Rig, is I drag and hop them along the bottom. Very slow, like only a couple inches at a time.
Ok guys, I need help. So I’m fishing at the patomac river in Brunswick, Maryland, and I’m using soft plastic for any bass, I have gone five times, for 3-4 hours each and I haven’t had any bites at all, what do I do?
I wouldn’t go with Texas riggedworm or med rig, I’d rather do wacky. When I started out, I like most people had no idea how to feel the bottom or give action to it or differentiate a fish and a snag, so I feel like mid water baits like spinners or crank baits are easier because you just reel
@@Bob-xn3zq square bill is a cast and reel bait. When reeling, make sure it bumps into rocks or wood or is grinding against the bottom. Lipless crankbaits are also cast and reel but shouldn’t be near bottom. You can use it in open water or use it near weeds and rip it out when it gets snagged.
@@Bob-xn3zq my favorite lure as of late has been a strike king rage tail menace grub on a Texas rig. Rig it with a 1/4 oz tungsten weight and a 3/0 EWG hook. Make sure your knot is inside the bait when you use a sinker on your Texas rig otherwise it can damage your line. Inline spinners from companies like mepps and rooster tail produce very consistently but get snagged a lot so use them in open water or near rocks. Spinnerbaits are great near weeds and wood and work well in wind. Topwaters like poppers, ploppers, walking baits, wake baits, etc, work best in overcast or low light conditions. Jerkbaits are good in somewhat choppy water and work very well in cold water. They work well around windblown points. Chatterbaits are great around grass and should be used in the same way as a lipless Crankbait. Just make sure to use a trailer. My favorite is a zoom fluke. Just find a color that matches the chatterbait. The lures mentioned in the video are also great. Buzzbaits are another topwater bait that has similar action to a whopper plopper but sinks and has to be retrieved somewhat fast. In clear water, the colors I recommend are green pumpkin and watermelon red for soft plastics, and black and blue or junebug in dirty water. For moving baits, bright or dark in murky water, and white or natural in clear water. Bass love relating to weeds, wood, rocks, shade, inflows, etc. Anywhere there is baitfish or an ambush/hiding spot. Fish deeper in summer and winter because they are more lethargic and will try to escape the heat and cold. Finally, curly tail grubs and paddletail swimbaits work well on straight retrieves and when hopped off the bottom. Another little known lure is the pecos Underspin by sixth sense. Get a pack of the jigheads and a pack of the swimbaits that go with them. Just fish them on a straight retrieve in any water clarity, and you will catch bass and crappie. Weightless flukes also work very well. Use them like you would a slow sinking jerkbait. Hope this helps!
the best lures out there by far im a advanced fisherman im 14 but my stepdad raises me in to it and i love these lures more than the rest tbh swim baits crank baits are one of my favorite things to use and same with a popper
Am I the only person who has no luck with soft plastic worms or craw fish etc just doesn’t work for me. Frogs, ploppers, spinners, buzz bait, poppers, and hard swim baits have pretty much done it for me
