You can only take one ….

Post by uljersey » Sat Apr 29, 2023 5:40 am

…. style of plastic on your next trip. What are you taking ?

I’m torn between tubes and flukes with tubes getting the nod. I don’t fish a lot of plastics but tubes are ridiculously versatile and work well in the entire water column. I’ll go a step further and will take only green pumpkin and still have confidence I’ll get bit.

Let’s hear it …

Considering my PB is an 8lb 8oz LMB on an O.S.P DoLive Stick, I'll go with the fluke ...

Zoom mag lizard. It actually is the one plastic I keep in the Xterra, just in case.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

I keep a pack of 6" Zoom Lizards in Pumpkinseed/Chart tail in one of those "In Case Of Emergency Break Glass" thingys.

Xterra huh? Very nice. I drive a 2010 Xterra OR myself.

To answer the question, I would have to chose creature baits.

Senko's in a few different colours. Works great either weightless t-rig or wacky rigged on my local lake.

Side note: here's my 2008 Xterra. It's the 3rd one I've owned. :lol:

chasing primarily smallmouth and walleyes, id choose a 3.2" swimbait that i make and an assortment of jigheads. i fish them from early spring through late fall and catch fish everywhere i go on them. also you can use them in a pinch when the tail gets bittin off as a ned rig!

Would have to be a 6" fat Roboworm for me--dropshot and Texas rig has always worked well for me no matter where I've used it. Catching big 5-8 pound trout on a dropshot is fun as hell!

I may have to go beaver/craw style. Micro ones for finesse bites and the "normal" ones for Texas Rig, punching and such.
