Your Top 5 Lures

1. StrikeKing Jr Tri-Wing Buzzbait. Curado\ 7' TA Revolver Reaction series
Rod\ 25# mono.White or White & Chartreuse. Open water and around any visible
cover

2. Soft Stick Bait (4 or 5") Senko or Flash. Junebug\Golden Shiner.
T-Rigged on 3\0 or 4\0 LC Texposer. AG T3000\ 20# Fireline\6'
Custom Angle Rod. This "do-nothing" works anywhere/anytime.

3. Rebel Teeney Deep R (out of production) various colors. Upsize the hooks
to #6.... 10# low stretch mono on 1600Morrum\6' Fenwick HMG Light action
pistol grip. Roll Cast around visible cover and underneath overhanging
brush\docks.

4. 8" Mann's JellyWorm. Black Grape. 1/4oz Florida weight & rattle

Fenwick HMG MH rod.

5. Zoom BrushHog / JuneBug w/tail dipped in Chartreuse Dip&Glow
5/16 Florida Weight/ 3/0 EWG & Rattle/ 50# PowerPro\ Curado \
7'6" Falcon Lowrider.

........interesting how the demographics play out comparing selections for
the folks fishing the Northern Glacial lakes and the Lowland River\Reservoir
anglers.

In a particular order...

1. Bill Norman Professional Edge Middle N in Blue and Chartruese. No lure
I've ever used has caught as many fish as this little jewel. Don't leave
home without it.

2. White or white chartreuse spinnerbait. Most often with a gold or silver
willow leafe main blade and a smaller silver willow leaf secondary blade.

3. 6" Red Shad Culprit / texas-rigged with Gamakatsu hooks - Especially good
under over-hanging brush (in the shadows)

4. My own 3/8oz jigs. Usually in black so I can throw a brown/orange or
black/blue Uncle Josh pork on it.

5. Rebel Pop-R in the original black back / silver sides fished shallow.

6. Rapala rattlin shad rap in original shad finish. I know, I was only
supposed to list 5...


I could load a tackle box with only these baits and be pretty certain that I
would catch something on any given day...

Just for the fun of it, list your top 5 bass lurs that you can't live
without. Try to be specific (brand, size, color, how you rig/fish it).

Heres mine.

1. Terminator Spinnerbaits-3/8 ounce-white skirt, double willow silver
blades

2. Picasso Spider Jig with an Uncle Josh jumbo pork frog-1/4 ounce jig
in brown/orange color with an orange pork frog

3. Bass Assassin'-Shad Assassin in Albino Shad color with a 5/0
Gamakatsu hook

4. Rapala Skitter Pop-Frog color-my favorite topwater lure

5. PowerBait Power Craw-Pumpkin/orange color-Texas rigged with a 3/8
ounce bullet weight and 4/0 Gamakatsu hook

Okay, your turn.

I could load a tackle box with only these baits and be pretty certain that I
would catch something on any given day...

Yeah, but you only need #1!

Yeah, when the weather has been stable and the temp is above about 55,
you're absolutely correct! :-)

What exactly is "stable" weather? Do we have that in Indiana?

I've had to change my definition of this a little this year. Stable now
means one day without a tornado, or tornado like winds!

1. rapala jointed minnow plug
2. smithwick rogue minnow plug
3. rapala rattlin rap
4. variations of the above in size, weight, colour and custom modification of
my own design
5. 7 inch plastic worm

For me this changes from year to year as I try new lures and techniques.
Lately it would be:

1. Homemade spinnerbait; 1/2 or 3/8 oz, red&black skirt, single black colorado
blade.

2. Senko; 4 or 5 inch, any brownish color, wacky rigged with a Gamakatso
octopus circle hook.

3. Homemade spinnerbait; 1/4 oz., witebelly/clearblueflake back skirt, single
silver willowleaf blade.

4. Roostertail spinner; 1/24oz to 1/2 oz, many colors, especially
black/silver or brown/gold

5. Rapala floating minnow; 2" ro 4 1/2", silver/black, gold/black, perch

-Zimmy

( 1 ) My favorite, hands down is black or dark green Scum
Frog. ( 2 ) Stick worm ( senko
style) in junebug ( 3 ) Spittin Image for that topwater fun
( 4 )White & chartruse spinnerbait 3/8 oz. with double colorado
blades and white trailer ( 5 )Finally a 4" watermellon tube with
copper flake for all my smallmouth freinds living in
Lake St. Clair

1. 6A Bomber Firetiger. Old style with the lead BB inside. It's a
different plastic than the new models. Dives deeper and has a different
sound. Normally fished on 10lb Trilene BigGame.

2. Standard RattleTrap. Best color might be Tequlia Sunrise.

3. Jig & Pig. Color usually black/blue. Weight dependent on conditions.
Usually 1/4 to 3/8oz, but I fish lighter/heavier. Trailer can be Uncle Josh
pork #11, #1 or Zoom chunks. Occasionally something odd. Old Berkley frog,
grub, etc. Jig can be just about any brand out there with fiber weedguard
so I can split it.

4. Zoom Lizard. Pumpkinseed normally. Texas rigged for flipping. Pegged
with a square toothpick.

5. Buzzbait. LunkerLure or local made. 1/4 to 1/2oz. White or
White/chart. Sometimes black. Sometimes with a Croc-O-Gator grub.
