Ultra light lures

bassking22 · 07-29-06, 10:33 PM

Today my rod broke, so I ahd to go use my ultralight trout rod, with a beetlespin I found, because I was panfishing. I now want to use ultra light sruff more, and only know of one good ultralight lure that will consistently perfrom for bass fishing (bettle spin), do yall know of any others?

try a rooster tail, yellow or white, 1/8th ounce, they are about 2 bucks

bassking22 · 07-29-06, 10:48 PM

I have a bunch of those, but didnt know if bass like them.

Actually bass arent all too selective and will from time to time hit most ultralight lures. You might catch crappie or bluegill in the process, but you will catch bass as well.

T-Rig a worm -- This is what I use with my ultra light and 4 lb test. It's fun to see my rod bend over even with the small 1 to 2 lb bass. My ultra light even works well for larger bass of 5 to 6 pounds as well. It sure makes the fight fun for me.

i use my ultralight with a size 4 plain shank hook and a 4" Lil Jerk Twitch, a better version of the fluke!!! I love it!!! I match it with 6 lb. test, and it makes for some great fun!!

Yeah bass love those roostertails, we caught 5 yesterday 4 on roostertails, 1 on a rapala, and they love that thing, we also caught a monster perch.

Try using a wacky rigged trout worm.

Alright guys, I'll try all your suggestions, but so far in one lake, beetlespin are the only thing that work, and in another lake, yellow spinners, are the bait of the season, thanks for your suggestions.

Use a rapala jointed minnow in the smallest size. It works wonders for me on my ultralight rod!

inline spinners are great... try getting a mepps number 4, caught my first 2 bass on that.

mack · 08-03-06, 12:29 PM

i like blue fox vibrax..they look exactly like a baitfish cause the lead weight is in the shape of a baitfish and has eyes and is painted...they have all different colors..ive caught a few bass on them last year and this year...good luck...

bassking22 · 08-03-06, 03:16 PM

Those rapala floaters in the smallest size, work too, and those vibaz or whatevers caught my friend some nice bass yesterday, along with a tiki stick.

mack · 08-03-06, 10:37 PM

bassking, i caught 2 smallmouths and a baby striper on a 1/8 oz yellow roostertail today..also 2 rock bass...just letting you know since you are deciding wether to buy some or not..
