Giant Worms.
I couldn't agree more... Big Worms are often THE TICKET for the BIG BITE! Below is a link where Greg Hackney set the all time tournament 3 day heavyweight record of 109lbs 6oz on Falcon at the FLW east/west fish off in '08. Had he fished a 4th day with that average, he would've beat 145lbs. His main bait was the 10" Rage Anaconda, it has an overall profile/footprint that makes it look HUGE in the water. Sometime back, I had a banner day with the 10" Thumper Worm with my best 7 fish weighing over well over 70lbs, running out of worms by around noon and had to leave'em biting! Big Worms will always be in my boat regardless of the water I'm fishing. http://www.flwoutdoors.com/bassfishing/flwserieswest/tournament/2008/6044/east-west-fishoff-headline-story/149365/hack-blasts-past-the-pack/

Didn't weigh her Darren... But I did talk sweet to her and rub that belly a little before turning her loose and getting back in the boat

Bitsy Jigs= Big Bass
Rage Chunks are great for them and the Baby Rage will down size it even more plus add to the fall rate...

Horny Toads Spinning
Ck out this link photo and hook your toad as shown without excessive bow when skin hooking and it should run OK. Centering the hook is important... If this doesn't work for you the legs or appendages are probably deformed causing the spinning. A light weighted hook will take care of it and add distance to your cast as well. Hope that helps! http://www.ragetail.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/toad_diagram750.jpg

Bitsy Jigs= Big Bass
They'll eat it for sure... caught a lot of slobs on bitsy bugs just be careful during the fight not to put too much pressure on the small hook!

She Made Me Go Skinny Dippin With Her!
Sometimes a Guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do So I DID After Flipping a Falcon Lake Craw colored Rage Hawg in timber and a strong hook set... The fish was happy to stay out of trouble until she got close to the boat and then it was FLAME ON! A quick turn later and she headed straight into a nearby set of sticks and wrapped me about 4 ft deep. She was tired and the braided line had slipped under a crack in the stick, with her snugged up too tight to free herself. I hate breaking them off like that because of the chance of a fish being stuck for good and potentially doing harm to them, so in I went I was able to kick her loose without going completely under and didn't even get my hat wet It made for a good Photo anyway Been fishing quite a bit and trying to keep up with everyones post here too... Hope the Fall Fishing is coming on strong for all of you as well!!!

That's a Good one Paul, WTG!

Jigs And Trailers
Green Pumpkin is great and the most versatile. It can be also adjusted with any color dip n dye to adjust if necessary. Dip or touch it up with a q-tip if needed. The basic Summer Craw, Falcon Craw, Okeechobee Craw and Blue Craw swirl are all possible as well as tipping any tails etc... Chartreuse, red and blue are all you'll need with dip colors...IMO.

Jig Heads Question
Brush style head is the most versatile IMO...

Rage Tail Shad
Yes, give it an extra moment to attain the desired depth because the fall will be a bit slower... Ck a medium retrieve speed beside the boat and notice that the 1/2oz rocks back and forth considerably. I normally throw a 3/4 to 1oz and use it in situations where spinnerbaits or slightly larger profile swim jigs are necessary. Have fun!

Rage Tail Shad
It works great but turn the tail DOWN, or on a lighter jig (3/8) it will surface on you at a medium retrieve... Wait'll you see it in the water
-
Rage Tail Shad
Anywhere you would throw a buzzbait and anywhere you would be AFRAID to throw a buzzbait Plus there are so many other ways to fish it including rigging on a weighted hook for more distance on your cast for windy conditions... It still surfaces easily and keeps it lower in the water. Ck the link below and be sure to hit the read more under each set fo MUCH more info Also, maybe someone here on the forum will tell you about the tail tweak I recently let out of the bag It's SWEET!!! http://www.ragetail....tion/rage-shad/
