I fished this morning, and the floating jerkbait bites were still happening. I just made a short cast, and I was like "man, this jerkbait, Bassday Sugar Minnow moves really good." And, a bass hit it. Caught about 10 in the next 45min, but they were small (up to 2lbs). So, I switched to Vision 110 Hi...

Did everybody forget the Bagley's Bang-O and Spintail ???

Yeah, I forgot about the Bang-O. I still have a few from the 80s. Haven't used them for very long time. Maybe, I should try again.

Grab a couple of those Nishine 95s. Such a great jerkbait, and one of my most productive floaters. The other being the Imakatsu Gekiasa alive roller floating jerkbait. This one runs a little more shallow, but smallies love it with the natural patterns. I rarely fish any other floaters anymore. Very...

A few days ago, I saw an 8 pounder swimming close to the bank. About 10min later, she followed my jerkbait, but didn't hit it. About 15min later, I saw hundreds of 3" bass swimming in the same area. What I was wondering is this. They're too small to be 1yr old, but too big to be a few weeks old. How...

These floating jerkbaits have worked very well in this month. - Rapala F11 - Megabass Vision 110 Hi Float, FX9 - OSP Asura F (just lost it in a tree ](*,) ) - Daiwa TD Minnow F (which I bought in Japan 30 years ago) - BassDay Sugar Minnow F (which I bought in Japan 30 years ago) Other floating jerkb...

I bought a pack of Flick Shake about 15 years ago, and had never used it, until 2 years ago, when the water level was super low, and the fishing was really tough. I don't like finesse fishing, but I had to try some. It was that tough. ](*,) That's when I found the 15 years old Flick Shake. I caught ...

I've used the following rods, and I still don't know what my favorite company is. Always looking for something better. :lol: - Daiwa - Shimano - G Loomis - Dobyns - Powell - Kistler - Lamiglass - Fenwick - Abu Garcia - Phoenix - Quantum - All Star - Edge - Impulse - Ark Lately, I've been using mostl...

Like ONE/"1" only for the rest of our lives? We'd be HOSED...that lure would likely be lost in one outing. Lol. Or do you mean as many of ONE lure type or ONE EXACT lure model/weight/variations? :lol: I'm sure the YouTuber didn't mean ONE lure. otherwise, he wouldn't pick a jig, which could be lost...

I just watched a YouTube video with this topic. He said a jig, but he showed a jig and a trailer. I thought that's not one lure, a jig + a trailer. I also thought I would lose a jig easily, and I wouldn't have any more lure to use for the rest of my life. :lol: Anyway, I thought about it. I knew the...

I used it every once in a while in the last 15 years or so. To me, Rapala DT16 is way better.

For me, the Frittside 5 has been a pleasant surprise.

Very cool. I just bought two of those, and am looking forward to catching some bass.

The DT Flat 7 has a longer bill like the Frittsides 7. The DT3 has a short bill like the Frittside 5 shown in the post above. Thanks. I just looked at mine, and it's 3. I know it dives over 3ft, though, which is fine with me :lol: . OK, I just compared my old DT3 Flat to the OG Slim 6. The size and...

I use white braid a lot. I just color the last 5-6' of the line with a black sharpie and it hasnt affected my catch rate with bottom contact baits. Interesting. I'll try that. Thanks. I kinda like the white braid, because it is definitely easier to see. But, I just didn't get as many bites with slo...

The idea behind the old Whopper Stopper Chugger and Pulse Cod isn't to rattle or make noise. It shines when paused, as the weighted spring in it vibrating causing small vibration in the bait while sitting still. Deadly over bass on beds. Yes, I know that, but the vibrating weight thing creates soun...
