French fries

bassinbob · 01-08-08, 06:40 PM

Since I have only been fishing for bass about 5 years I wanted to ask about french fries type lures. I used to fish for walleye and usually passed over bass topics but seem to remember there was some hoopla about these plastics. Would anyone like to comment if they were a good bait?

i used to use the zoom french fry in dark blue for carolina rig fishing with
some success, give em a try! (centipede and other names for same lure)

Bob Smith · 01-08-08, 07:08 PM

Great baits! I used them today on Lake Allatoona on a the Carolina Rig! They are tailor made for C-rigging, but work well on Texas Rig and drop shot too. The size and shape offer a very subtle action that can be another version of finesse. They work through most of the seasons as well shallow or deep!

Man I love french fry worms, wacky rigged longitudinally at about 1/3 of the length and weighted on the "tail" end it makes a killer bait, jighead wacky rigged, split shot rigged, oh boy ! they ketch tons o´fish.

i like them a lot on a carolina rig, and on a splitshot rig.

bassinbob · 01-08-08, 07:52 PM

Thanks guys. On the list.

JB · 01-08-08, 08:04 PM

I should get a bag, whats everyones favorite color? watermelon/punkinseed/redshad/pearl LOL

BigBassin144 · 01-08-08, 09:48 PM

I've never used them before, but I'm going totry them Carolina Rigging this spring and summer.

During the summer it is about the only bait I throw on a C-rig. Super bait!

You may also try a "ring worm" these baits have no flat side. Green pumpkin is what I prefer but any dark color seems to work for me.

Lake Fork Tackle Baby Ring Fry is the best (IMO) and the Zoom Double Ringer is another good one!

Ill agree them two bait types are hard to beat.
Heres a little thing that I like to do.Add a couple of feathers to the ends of the bait seems to work great for me. Maybe youll have the same luck.

Can you post a picture of that? I don' t think I've ever seen that before.

BigBassin144 · 01-09-08, 06:23 PM

Yeah, a picture would be good.

Do you guys have a preference betweeen like Zoom Salty Centipedes, Double Ringer, Fish Doctors etc. Is one better than another? What is the main difference between them?

Thanks,
BB

Bob Smith · 01-09-08, 07:41 PM

Zoom Centepedes (without salt) are a major part of my arsenal, so are the Double Ringers. The Fish doctor never really caught on with me for some reason. The reason I don't necessarily buy the salted Centepedes is that the others sink fast enough without being too fast. Since I coat all of my soft plastics with attractant anyway there isn't much of a need.

pig n jig · 01-09-08, 07:53 PM

Gene Larew makes a great french fry bait, but the Zoom centipede is easier to find and works well.I basially fish the cotton candy color only.

JB · 01-09-08, 07:57 PM

that color is hard to find around here, time to hit the catalog

zooker · 01-09-08, 10:17 PM

I would love to be able to put up a picture but Im not that great on a pc I dont even have a digital camera.Im way behind some of the guys on here.

There are a few manufactures making these baits,thats where I saw them first and gave it a try!

BigBassin144 · 01-10-08, 05:12 PM

Heh, that's ok. I just learned to put pics on a while ago.

islandbass · 01-11-08, 04:21 AM

Uh oh... This style, size and shape as that pictured is one of my staple baits to drop shot!

I like a double cheese burger with my french fries.

BigBassin144 · 01-11-08, 10:01 PM

Hm... sounds good.
