knot289 · 12-17-08, 09:01 AM

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.

Cotton candy 5" Zoom lizard

Earl Marshall · 12-17-08, 10:24 AM

Welcome to the board knot289 I really like the flukes.

jmartin · 12-17-08, 10:59 AM

Welcome. Cotton Candy lizzard or worm on a C-rig. With Garlic dip on tail.

woody · 12-17-08, 11:01 AM

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.

also welcome to the board.i really like the texas rigged berkley power worm or a texas rigged lizard.

doc · 12-17-08, 11:35 AM

A jig. In all sizes, I have confidence in them.

Wishing2BFishing · 12-17-08, 11:54 AM

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.

Brute · 12-17-08, 12:02 PM

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

Captmikestarrett · 12-17-08, 12:32 PM

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.

a jig is my confidence bait, a 1/2oz football jig is my favorite. favorite color would either be missouri craw or peanut butter and jelly.

carolina-rig-01 · 12-17-08, 12:54 PM

welcome to the boards by the way.......glad to have you.

jmartin · 12-17-08, 01:29 PM

You guys are always talking jigs. I cant catch the dang bottom with one what am I doing wrong? I have many colors and types. Still nothing

hookup · 12-17-08, 01:46 PM

Depends on season, water temps, flow and turbidity.

Rule of thumb

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

target structure, like stumps, brushpiles, or anywhere that looks like a hangup

Lilmoosecountry · 12-17-08, 02:16 PM

1/4 jig rigged with a chartruse & silver glitter sassy shad. By the way welcome to the board

66KingFisher · 12-17-08, 02:32 PM

White and chartruse or white and blue spinnerbait has always been my go to bait.

wareagledc · 12-17-08, 02:48 PM

wave worm 5 inch tiki stick in sweet potato pie texas riged with a small bullet weight. sometimes used garlic on the end if the fish were slow to bite.

rrw4258 · 12-17-08, 04:37 PM

Welcome knot... mine is a Strike King Red Eye Shad, probably in Chrome/Blue, or Chrome Sexy Shad... 1/2 oz.

Ryan

Tall · 12-17-08, 04:49 PM

Mine would be wacky rig zenko #1 hook in motor oil or watermelon weightless. If I get another one like in the picture c-rig 10" blk/blu worm at night.

pig n jig · 12-17-08, 05:28 PM

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.

JB · 12-17-08, 05:54 PM

darn i always am glad to read stuff like this, I'd never even heard of anyone hear using a strikeking redeye shad, now I gotta look this up and then get some I got the right one? (picture below)
Usually my favorite bait is the one that they hit last time..but I got to say that last year that changed to zooker's lil tip on a tenn shad.........

csparks643 · 12-17-08, 06:16 PM

that is the red eye shad, sexy shad color

my go to bait would have to be a cavitron buzzbait, 7" power worm, or the red eye shad.

Jim80 · 12-17-08, 06:29 PM

First of all welcome aboard , this year i found myself fishing a junebug colored yum dinger more than anything else
