I have difficulty getting them to sit still myself whats the trick.

Just don't take them catfishing.

A weightless Bass Assassin soft jerk!

merc1997 · 02-13-12, 05:40 PM

alpha jig! it can be fished through rocks, brush, vegetation, can be fished from top to bottom, and is a great swimming jig, or you can put a swim bait on just the head.

Rebbasser · 02-14-12, 10:48 AM

That's a tough one. Possibly a Senko, but based on the success my father-in-law and I have had with them a wacky rigged Flick-Shake worn on a weighted wacky jig head will get the nod. For now.

The past couple of years, I've caught more fish on a Ragetail frog than anything else. I love throwing that sucker....I anticipate a bite on every cast, and just about hold my breath when it comes off of a lily pad or thick may of grass back into the water. My heart rate stays up the whole time I'm throwing one....

Ragetail is a plastic I need to look into more..I dont think Ive ever tried one

My best/favorite tech is still a jig...Im really hoping to fine tune a lot of techniques this spring and summer.

Soft 3.5" crawfish-color tube on a 1/4 oz VMC tube jighead hook. Despite the proficiency I've developed with other methods, tubes are still my biggest producer here in the Finger Lakes Region of Western NY.

I like them better than Zoom's horny toads, because the Ragetail's feet are huge, and make a ton of noise, probably twice as much as the horny toads. I've heard good things about the RageShad, too, but haven't gotten any to try yet.

james86 · 02-14-12, 05:37 PM

Blue and black jig with a blue/black chiggercraw. It never lets me down.

bamabassman · 02-14-12, 06:16 PM

do i REALLY have to answer this question? lol. i am going to TRY to shake things up this year for real. start using different things more and the lizzard less.

jig fisherman · 02-14-12, 06:57 PM

Definetly a 3/8 oz. kig in texas craw or bama bag. But during the summer i've almost always got a bomber crankbait or rapala tied on.

Get her good and drunk.

The Rage Shad kicks up even more commotion than the Rage Toad, it can almost be too much sometimes. They are both great baits though. The RT is by far my favorite buzz frog.

bluebasser86 · 02-14-12, 09:54 PM

If I had to choose only one I'd have to go with a jig. If I had to be more specific than that I'd say one of my homemade 3/8oz jigs in either Texas craw or Copper craw color. Very close second would be a shakeyhead with a green pumpkin/red flake trick worm.

kennethdaysale · 02-15-12, 08:22 AM

I understand OP's intent to relay confidence in his "senko" worms, but. Might as well ask me to pick my #1 musician or artist or author or food or truck or reel or rod or____ .....it all depends.......................

blackstang93 · 02-15-12, 06:50 PM

5 inch weightless senko black/blue flake

Right answer -- wrong thread...

coldbasser · 02-16-12, 02:36 PM

my # 1 by far is strike king z t00 rigged

basshunter21 · 02-20-12, 07:20 PM

Wacky senko, pretty much all I fish lol

This yr is gonna be different though. Im going to diversify my tactics and baits.

Mr.Bassmaster29 · 02-23-12, 02:04 PM

Wacky Rigged Senko, or Spinnerbait...tough to choose between the two! The biggest fish I've ever caught were on a Wacky Senko!

Bassman34 · 02-24-12, 12:08 PM

Everyone agrees its hard to pick just one, but i too would have to go with a weightless wacky rigged senko, i've witnessed many times were the fish arn't biting other stuff im presenting them then i'll break the ole tried and true wacky rig & bam!!!!

Mr.Bassmaster29 · 02-24-12, 12:25 PM

Has anybody mentioned the A-Rig yet? I just saw it the other day, and really liked what I saw! Anybody use this as kinda a go to setup?

Tavery5 · 02-24-12, 12:39 PM

Rebbasser · 02-29-12, 12:59 AM
