I have been using the SK tungsten for punching and was just curious if you guys prefer another brand and why, what are the pros and cons of what you use

I like swim jigs o be honest since bass are usually eating shad near the shore I jut try to immitate the shad in the lake, make it appea wounded and large and I usually get quite a few.

I like 5 inch swim senkos cut down, as well as havoc soft body swimbait cut down, and Gambler has one I like too just trim them down enough so the skirt won't hinder the tail action and don't be scared of a big bait my swim jigs usually measure 5-6 " and I have caught anything from 8oz to 5+ pounds, remember a bass will try to eat anything up to Half there size

I use a 7-6 heavy rod 65 lb yellow pp and a revo s drag maxed. When I get a strike as soon as I see the line pulling I swing as hard as I can straight up and I get about 60-70% on average

x2 super soft and super durable caught around 45-50 on mine in the last 2 weeks and it only has minor marks on it

For me the northstar flip and swim has been the deal, at 3.50 a jig they arent that bad to replace and they have all the colors and patterns I look for in a swim jig, come through clean and hold trailers well. I have no complaints and the customer service has been good to me. The "away-rig" or punch rig is also a great way to fine tune and find what the bass want if the jig bite is tough. I use a similar setup except I use paycheck punch skirts, I also punch a lot without a skirt using a ragecraw or lobster the only thing I change between the 2 is I use a 3/4-1 1/4 tungsten with the skirt and without I prefer a 1/2 oz Stanley wedge weight

Hahahahahahahahahabahahahahahahahahaha Nice catch man

Try a swimjig that matches the hatch using a 4 inch single tail grub trailer, just let fall and then yank it up let it fall like a dying or struggling baitfish even though it is a total of around 5 inches long you catch everything from Dinks to hogs. I use almost exclusively swim jigs in ponds now I would recommend the north star flip n swim, great colors for matching forage and a stout hook

So I got my order of evolve vibra grubs yesterday and I will be goin out tomorrow morning how have you guys fished these with success. I was thin jigging deep and trying them punching pads

I always use the yamamotos because they are softer and I feel have better action, also Yama has the best color scheme soft plastics on the market... Also jut opinion

Tape em. That's what I do anyways

I don't dO too much shore fishing but this place is Similar to a reservoir I used to fish, I always went to the d**n there and was throwing football jigs as far out to the deep as I could and try to get it up against a rock and just shake and let te rattle entice the bite. It is a lot tougher in the summer from shore but the deeper you can get out on points the better luck you will have try wading out as far as you can I your not having luck from the shore

When the square bill bite is on I really only use 3 different colors just in different sizes and depths. I like a shad pattern, red like a craw, or chartreuse with a black back. Just chose based on water clarity, I am a big fan of the xps square bills tbh try produce well or me and I really like that try are silent as well. But I wouldn't get to hung up on color just make sure your presentation is right and you will catch them

I have 2 370 boxes of just jigs one is all black and blue or just black and a few white all different head shapes and weights usually 3 of each and the other is all green pumpkin or brown. Then a plastic bin at home with extras for when I lose them to restock the 370s

Everyone pretty much nailed it they look like grass/swim jigs and that big full skirt will attract fewer but generally bigger fish I would put a bulky compact trailer and fish it in the thickest cover you can find. The white though would topically be for swimming as it mimics a baitfish also for bed fishing because it will be easy to see and you are just trying to tick them off into a bite.

I have a lot of success with very large spoons in the summer when a lot of people I talk to are struggling and I am catching 30+ fish in 85 degree water on a 1oz 5 inch spoon tht I spray painted black stipes and dots on a chrome spoon.

Awesome thank you guy a bunch I reckon I'm gonna order a few dd22 to get me started and maybe some 5xd/6xd

Trying to expand my fishing techniques more into cranking deep to be specific because I do throw squarebills a lot in fall/spring. I am looking for a good line of deep cranks from 10-20 feet any suggestions or what you guys are having luck on

Stradic 2500 is a great real and if well maintained would last forever , and you also could not give me a glock XD, something about plastic sights makes me sigh and stay with my kimber. Not a new kimber though because they are now junk but one made when kimber was a great company.

So the other day I bought a veritas 7'6 mh for a back up jig rod, well I didn't know much about them and I bought the "winch" model.... Just found out it is a cranking rod and really feel like an idiot, thought it felt limber in the store but it was light and had good reviews. This ever happened to anyone else lol.

I got my girl the pflueger pink rods n reels and she likes them a lot, I wish she would take my cute lures all she ever uses is a t-rig junebug senko and always manages to catch a pile f keepers... Drives me insane

When it gets hot I fish deep points and creek channels or pads/slop. Big slow moing baits seem to be te key deep, I guess fish look at it as a big easy to get meal and for slop and pads frogs and punch rigs a lot still sticking with bigger baits.

I lost one too now I only use it on creek channels and other hold points I definitely avoid cover with it lol

4-5 inch senko wacky rigged fish it slow you will catch bass anywhere in the USA with a senko either green pumpkin or junebug I don't like them anymore but if I am really struggling they always seem to get me something

I love the 3x chunk they are very buoyant. Make my 3/8 fall like a 1/4 and the claws always stand up. Maybe not the most popular trailer but I love them, just wish elastech didn't melt so easy
