Hahaha, just pick the bait you most enjoy fishing.

If it comes down the bait I enjoy the most, I would have to go with the soft plastic jerk baits (like the Super Fluke). That doesn't mean I don't have a host of other bait genres that enjoy equally as much. The Super Fluke gets a little edge because the action is completely angler imparted. You can make the bait do so many different things to trigger a strike.

Good answer Bob!

LilJakeC · 07-03-11, 04:53 PM

My confidence bait changes depending on the water clarity. Dirty water it is a crankbait. Clear water and it is a trick worm fished on either a wacky, T-rig, or drop shot

x2 on this. 261 of 298 fish caught on this during our last 3 trips to the lake. Easy to learn, easy to use, just flat-out catches fish!

On a normal t-rig,you leave the hook inside the worm/plastic ,making it hidden/weedless.

A tex-pose is where the hook is exposed on the outside of the plastic.

Jrob78 · 07-07-11, 04:08 PM

I always thought "tex-pose" was when you buried the hook point back into the bait to make it weedless.

That's the way I prefer it....But I think both ways are still considered tex posed...Fully exposed for more open water,tuck the point for light cover.
If its called something else,I really dont know?

Mumpy · 07-07-11, 04:24 PM

Ahhh, hence.. exposed...

Thank you!

Black and Blue Strike King Jig with a black Neon Money Crawl on it.

Fish30114 · 07-10-11, 02:31 PM

Yum Money Craw, rigged on a spot remover weighted hook. I can fish this like a swimbait, topwater, jig or just shaky head style. This thing is super versatile, if I had to go just one color, I'm going Blue/Black--Green a real close second choice on color!

TennTyrant · 07-10-11, 02:53 PM

SPRO little John MD and close Second is a Bandit 200.
