lure potentials

[Slayem9]

Based on the previous post, what is your lifetime potential rating, in fish (all species), for the following lure types:

plastic worm (all styles) (ie. a 1 million fish l.p.)
tube
grub
skirted jig and trailer
spinnerbait
crankbait
spoon
in-line (ie. 1000 fish)
fly (900 fish l.p.)
jerkbait
topwater plug
buzzbait
plastic explosives

plastic worm: some insanely huge number
tube: some
grub:not many
skirted jig and trailer: not even gonna go there
spinnerbait: a bunch
crank: dunno
spoon: a couple pike maybe
in-line: no idea
fly: bunch of panfish
jerkbait: about as many as a worm
topwater: eleventy billion
buzzbait: same as other topwaters
plastic explosives: this is potential, right? I could probly get a couple billion with these hehehe

[Slayem9]

Hula - priceless!! ;D

[BaSsFiShEr20]

plastic worm (all styles): A large amount
tube: 50
grub : 2
skirted jig and trailer:2,000
spinnerbait : 200,000
crankbait : there are not enough zeros for this ;D
spoon : 20
in-line (ie. 1000 fish) :1,000
fly (900 fish l.p.) : Fly? What's a fly? ;D
jerkbait :1,000
topwater plug :1,000
buzzbait :15,000+
plastic explosives : My # 1 go to lure.

This is the potential. I am estimating a little low.

You forgot one:

BB, you catch that many bass on cranks?

I never count, the jig-0, the explosives I wont comment due to the strict laws of this state.
jig-0
plastic worm-quite a bit
spinner-quite a bit
buzzbait- a lot
crank- not as many as above
spoon- a few
jerkbait- a few
grub- a few
fly- only in maine on vacation

[Rob Mak]

plastic worm -a boat load
tube- 5
grub -0
pnj -0
spinner bait-i can't count that high
crank bait -enough to scare ya.
spoon -30
inline-200
fly -but why?
jerk bait- all of them ;D
top water-are ya scared yet?
plastic explosives-only the ones that float to the top.... but really who uses a grub that much ??

YEP!! Â* Â*;D
Consider this, then figure it for me.

I use a crankbait more than any other lure. Period.I will use it anywhere, anytime, in any conditions, and at anytime of the year. I catch about 60% of my fish on them.

I have been useing them for almost twenty years, and considering i am still a few years from 40, i have a good many years of bass fishing ahead of me.

So, what would my fish potential on crankbaits be?

Not enough zeros. Â*

Your talent with cranks supports the statement,

no one lure is more important than any other unless it has more potential than other lures during an hour, a day or a season.)

The scale, to repeat, is a sliding one for each lure category. Some of the major factors that affect the numbers is one's individual taste, preferences, flexiblity, interest in different lures and devoped skill.

A spaz may not be coordinated to walk-the-dog, but anyone can pop-the-popper, so the spaz's topwater plug l.p. is still at 1,000 or more depending on how much he enjoys the topwater bite and how much he seeks it by using topwaters.

Charles scours the depths and bottom (Clunn-esque style), covers miles of water and could very well beat a Senko-man that prefers much slower presentations. But a lot has to do with the types of waters he fishes. Shalow ponds choked with milfoil will not allow a crank to used. If the bass are under grass- ditto. If that's all one fishes, the opportunity is much less (pre and post weeds) than canyon lakes in Arizona or California.

Good point Charles.

Well you did say potential ;D. And of course I use a lot of different stuff, but I think you can catch any bass on a Lizard at least 1 time in it's life.
