course I also have a soft
stickbait tied on too

Hard to put 'em down after you start using 'em, eh Dave? They are addicting to
bass and anglers alike.

What is your search bait of choice on a new lake?

My answer: "Depends on what I see when I study the lake." Will I be
fishing
cover or open water? Do I see bait fish or evidence of active feeding?
What
are the weather conditions? What is the water visibility? Time of day (or
night)?

Most times, I end up reaching for the rod with a spinnerbait tied on. As
those of you who have fished with me will attest, though, when I think
bass
will respond better to a lipless crankbait, I don't hesitate to switch.

I came across an interesting fact in the first of a three-part series by
Dennis Bryant, "Fishing-Professor," at the Bass on Hook site:
http://www.bassonhook.com/zap/zap01.html. (To access parts two and three,
in
the URL change "zap01" to "zap02" or "zap03".)

He wrote that some years ago he asked ten pioneers of modern bass
tournaments, "If you were to be limited to using one single lure on a body
of water that you had never fished before, what would it be and why?"
Eight
of them said they would choose a spinnerbait. One said a "jig & pig" and
one
chose a plastic worm. Then last year, he asked 1,485 pro and amateur
tournament the same question, and still over 80% said "spinnerbait"
followed
by jig & pig and then a lipless crank-bait and jerk-bait.

6A Bomber Firetiger. Unless the lake is a bit too shallow for that. Then a
Bagley Craw. I vary from there depending on cover, season, what the fish
tell me they want.

If I go to Rend Lake in the spring, and I run back to the shallow buck
bushes, then I am going to stick a plastic lizard in them on a flipping
stick. But I might also work the nearby channel and rip rap and then it's
going to be a crankbait. If I also decide to fish the stumps along the
firelanes then it's going to be a spinnerbait/crankbait depending on the
fish.

Typically I reach for the crankbait first.

C'mon Dave... all the fish that you've witnessed me catching on worms and

As Joe knows I always have a spinnerbait tied on, course I also have a
soft
stickbait tied on too. Guess I have gotten to far from the rest of the
soft
plastics line-up.

For me, in low light or calm water, a buzzbait. Just about any other time a
spinnerbait. It's got to the point I don't carry much else.

Back problems dude! 3rd round of MRI results should be in soon. Looks like
some kind of surgery in the lower lumbar. Been losing feeling in the right
leg. And since you know I type with my toes, well...................

Been away, but thought I'd respond to this older post...

I agree with the bit about Firetiger. Still trying to decide if I really
have a style preference or not, but I do have a color preference -
Firetiger. Regardless of the type of bait I use to look for fish, I almost
always start with some variation of Firetiger.
