Weapons of Bass Destruction

So since I recently started fishing presque isle for bass, I have started to accumulate some lures to use.

I currently carry the following while I'm wading:



Its mostly cleos and rapalas with the exception of a few soft grubs and the zara spook. I also picked up the wild eyes soft swim baits today because they looked pretty slick.

Anyone else care to share what they have been carrying around?

I like Terminator spinnerbaits.

donno much about smallie fishing
but for Lg Mouth, it's mostly soft plastics in my bass pack.
Zoom brand is my preferred choice

there's a handful of spinner baits in my pack too

.L.T.A.

Agree with everyone. Add in a 7" Powerworm in Watermelon Candy and hold on.

if it ain't chartreuse it ain't no use

NIce collection BF . I have a good arsenal of soft plastics to go along with the stuff you show as well. Ive said this before and Ill say it again. My go to bass bait is a 5 - 6 inch purple worm. Rigged weedless and weightless. Its a true KILLER for me.

                      The Deetz 

This guy knows!

For me, its almost identical: 7" Power Worm in Tequila Sunrise (Pink & Purple)

Also, to what has been said, add a Jitterbug for those calm summer evenings.

pok-pok-pok-pok-pok-pok-pok-pok-pok-SMASH!!!!

SPF 85  ,  Solves my problem of that. Being fair skinned and all I need to grease up everytime I go out on the water.

 Im so Experienced in this category

Sun screen Is a must for me everyday , all day. Just Do It ! You will thank me later

My go to is x-rap 6 glass ghost.When fishing weightless plastics I watch the line hard,But I go for ripping a lip or two if I see any sudden twitch or different movement from regular line fall.And a definate DITTO for the jitterbug tip,nothing like a good topwater strike,especially when it's dark or close to it.
That being said you look like you're pretty much ready to go.Good luck,and TIGHT lines.

there is no wrong way to retrieve a popper. IMO, Just mix it up and find out what works best. Slow or Fast or in between.

Thanks, bud.

ana,

Do you find that the wacky rig results in alot of torn off/destroyed/lost worms? It just seems to me like that'd be the case, but I've never tried it.

Sorry, I know not addressed to me, but... I just read a good way to take care of this in one of the various fishing mags I get....

They recommend using rubber o-rings you'd find at the hardware to secure your worm to the hook. I sized them up & found 3/8" ID O-ring for 5" senkos and 5/16"ID for the 4" worms work good. Being that the worm isn't 'hooked'...if you get snagged, none of the violence of trying to get it out is transfered to the worm. Usually stays on.

Also, another trick they suggest is sticking a brad nail in the head of the worm. This keeps it more vertical & lets the tail 'wag' in the current. Also gives a little faster fall. Sometimes good, sometimes not.

Been working good for me.

Edit: Google 'o-ring wacky worm' to see an example...(and you don't need an o-ring rigging tool.)
