Zoom Lizard or Lake Fork Lures Ring Fry.

I throw a frog a lot! I have several from different brands. By far the Pad Crasher has produced more and bigger fish for me!

Whats the secret? Share it with the rest of us bro!

I fish mainly for LM Bass in the western end of Lake Erie and some inland lakes. I don’t fish a lot of jigs except for swim jigs and all of them are green pumpkin, B&B or white.

The first two colors that I buy when stocking up on baits is green pumpkin and black and blue. I always make sure that I have those in the following baits; Rage Craw, D Bomb, Craw Fatty, Rage Menace, Power Worm, Senko, Yum Dinger, RI Beaver and Pitboss. Yes, B&B works great in Michigan.

I like Megastrike and Spike It. I’ve stayed away from JJ’s because I KNOW how klutzy that I am! ?

Fried spam! Mmmmmmm!

What I don’t like is the “holier than thou's” who are all too eager to jump on someone. Let Ike be Ike. If we all conform to how others “think” we should act this would be a crappy world to live in. JMHO #ImOffendedFreeZone

Pistol grip or non-pistol grip? Back in the day I used to love throwing a spinnerbait with a 6’ M pistol grip rod. I could get a nice roll cast with it. But, the more modern rod handles make it a lot nicer to fight the fish once hooked. Especially the big 'uns!

All I have to say is Ballpark franks are better than Ekrich! /end thread!

For my non-braid setups I use to be a dedicated Trilene XT guy but, the past couple of years I’ve been using P-Line Flouroclear and I’m a convert now.

Fender or Gibson? Oh wait! Never mind! ?

Check out Boss jigs at https://www.fishboss.com/. They have a huge selection!

Plano is the best that I have found.

Do you use these with an o-ring? Are they effective like that?

Got out last Thursday, it was 62 degrees two days later, this.... I know.....it's Michigan! ?

Chicken bones only work if they have the rage flange on them! ?

FWIW the top five that have worked well for me is: 1. Missile Baits D Bomb 2a. Rage Craw 2b. Berkeley Chigger Craw 3a. RI Beaver 4.20 3b. Yum Christie Craw YMMV

What size?

What size?

I’ve tried several hook for wacky rigging 5” senko style baits. I can’t really find one that I like. I typically like to use a weedless style hook due to the type of cover that I typically fish. What is your go to wacky hook? Style, brand and size?

Not trying to derail this thread but, that’s a nice looking dog in your avatar. About the only thing that rivals bass fishing for me is upland bird hunting behind my setters!

No, when I’m not fishing, I generally have it stored under the seat or on the floor. Plus I have insurance so if it gets jacked I get to go shopping! ? It does tend to get heavy at times but I generally do a clean out every couple of weeks....lol.

I’m primarily a shore fisherman. I just sorted and restocked my tackle tonight. This group of bags/boxes will ride in my truck the entire season. Obviously no one rides in my truck. LOL The large cabelas tackle bag I carry while I fish. I try not to overload it which is a challenge! Now or we just need a good week of over 50 degrees up here in the north country and we may be good to go!
