Question Your "go to" bait?

First post here, might aswell word it in the form of a question. Pretty simple question at that.

So lets hear em. Favorite bait (style,name, color, possible scent).

I guess I will start it off. Strike King 3.5" Coffee Pro Model Tube Green Pumpkin.

By the way. Love the forums. Kevin seems like a great guy. Looking forward to alot of conversations and help.

Cheers

First of all welcome aboard, knot. I would say that my go to bait this year was a wacky rigged yamamoto senko, watermellon w/black flake. It cost me a lot of money to fish them, but I did catch a lot of fish.

My favorite bait this past year has been the Strike King's 3/16oz. Black Bitsy Bug Mini Jig followed with a black Zoom Super Chunk Jr.
Welcome aboard, and I am also looking forward to your input and insight.

I recently tallyed my end-of-the-year stats. My #1 bait was a Rapala DT-6. Regarding color, there was a tie. The DT-6 shad and DT-6 parrot caught the same # of fish.

I caught more fish this year on a T-rig Berkley power worm than anything else.
Either black/blue or junebug for colors.

I like the DuPont C4 crank bait with the one way cast feature and built in ignition system.


It really brings them up quick.


I jest: Topwater anytime with a Zippin Ziggy.

Depends on season, water temps, flow and turbidity.

Rule of thumb

winter - tube
spring - stix bait
summer - fluke
fall - jerk bait

Well I got off to a late start this year.A Strike King red eye shad in chrome/black back. My second go to was a Excalibur Xr50 in foxy mama color.

I really think the Excaliber will outfish the red eye, I was using the red eye more because of the toothy critters, being they are alot cheaper in price.Ivan
