I was waiting for the A-rig Plopper myself... Run a trailer hook and one of these.

They aren't a very big bait. It looks like its barely even a snack in a 3lb largie's mouth.

I've been doing it with my salmon & steelhead plugs, spoons, and spinners forever and it works a lot better. Those fish have way harder mouths and are a lot bigger. They also don't slap at stuff. Bass swipe and bump plugs a lot and the trebles do increase your chances of at least getting some kind of hook in them. It's also why most of us fish much more parabolic rods with treble hooks to keep that poor hookup pinned without applying a ton of pressure like it would with a stiff rod. Long story short, if it's something thousands and thousands have been doing forever and a new style hasn't emerged there is a reason for it. Keep the trebles.

Kicker Fish hightail hole shot worms. The 7" and 11" ribbon tail are both killer.

Underspin, underspin, underspin. Just let it fall all the way to the bottom then limp it along back to the boat.

They're as bulletproof as you can get for around $100.

The TFO drop shot rod is pretty solid.

Power fishing is an art! Wind & Points- Spinnerbait Points & Minimal Wind- Buzzbait Submerged grass- Lipless Surface weeds- Swim jig Wood- Chatterbait Rip Rap- Squarebill 12-25ft- Deep Crank 25+ft- Swing Jig Now go wear your arms and thumbs out.

Flip/pitch/punch, C-rig, drop shot= straight shank Everything else is EWG. Why? I don't know, but it works for me!

I use them on my punch gear, 8' Heavy rod, 80lb braid, punch hook, punch skirt, 3/8oz lead, bobber stop and flip it straight into wood. I mean like right into the heart of a tree. Great bait in wood. Around pads pretty much anything will work. Make some jig rigs with bass cast weights. The way they drop and clang around in there are deadly.

I use the Lamiglas Infinity 723 for weightless and I really love it. It's rated for 3/4oz but it has a really soft tip which let's you cast a mile and has the backbone for solid hook sets.

Great Brown!

20lb PP super slick, 10lb fluoro leader.

Fish size has nothing to do with tournaments. The elites and FLW might catch five double digit bass combined in a season with hundreds of guys fishing multiple days.

I completely cover myself. Compression bottoms, long sleeve shirt, sun gloves, buff, sun hat, and sun glasses. I still feel sun faded and worn out when I get off the water, but the next day I don't feel destroyed like I used.

If it's over 6lbs I get shaky. That's a beast in these parts.

That's a solid limit right there! That 9'er will be double digits in a month.

Doubt any of us will ever see that again. That pretty awesome.

That's a 5'er, good fish!

The only two baits I've ever consistently caught similar numbers and size between the three species are a 4" finesse worm and a spinner bait.

You will get a ton of favorites and advice but the consensus will be less action in colder water, more action in warmer water. I use the KVD perfect plastic in winter, Rage chunk in summer, and a Paca chunk the rest of the time.

That's a Triton for sure.

Tiny Torpedo.

Yes, it's another tool in the deep water arsenal. By the time you've ran a crank bait, football jig, magnum worm, flutter spoon, swing jig, shaky head, drop shot, Ned, and lipless through a school you've done about all you can.

8" M3 Roboworm. If there is a bass over 12" where you are fishing they will bite it.
