Fishin' Fool

Between 1/16 and 3/16. It depends how big the head of the bait is.

I turned the bath tub into a lure testing tank. Anybody ever try a neko rigged Senko before? It looks pretty interesting. Also a neko rigged tube bait caught my interest too. Worms of course look great, the kind like a Reaction Innovation flirt worm have a nice fluttering tail. Anybody else try anything crazy on a neko before?? I'm ready to give this rig a fair shot this season.

My buddy is usually all over the LC when they go on sale so I'll try to remember to send you a message next time and maybe you can order them online. Not sure if it's in store only.

I was gonna mention the exact same thing. Out our way it seems that F&S has a better selection of colors too.

Maybe secret lure isn't the proper term. More so lure that flies under the radar or doesn't get much press or attention that you've had success with. Sorry for my poor wording.

See that I don't lie

I hooked up a 5" shaker on a Neko rig and tested it in the tub the other day. It looks amazing.

Give an update post on how that goes. Remember to thank me

See now the whole world knows because of us. Just not our club guys Kito kito is a great color. Have you tried the Swamp Movers yet?

Thank you. Look into the Reins Bubbling shaker. Its very unique. In fact so unique it says "Bubbring shaker" on the package. I'm not kidding.

Agreed. However it depends if his cranking is for beating the banks a shorter rod would suffice. When I'm on St Clair and I have no targets in a 360 direction the longer the rod the better. In fact I'm using a 7'7".

Brother I wish I had 1/10th of Mark Zona's fishing knowledge and cash.

See that's what I'm talking about. Everybody else is being a butthead

Yes I think the pros use lures sometimes for years before they release the information to the public. Probably mainly what we are missing out on is more finesse stuff from Japan lol

I'm sorry but I'm fishing for money I might not fully give up the truth on what I was using. I was talking to a guy at the fishing show over the weekend and he told me that when he was catching them real good on a whopper plopper he would just say buzzbait. Ehh close enough.

How many of you already been on TW and placed that order for Bubbling Shakers already?

Oh come on now, you can do better than that. You should have at least said Fat Ika

Not to all 100,000 of you, just the guys in my club

What's the one secret lure that you haven't even told your buddy in the bass club about because it works so well? For me I'd say a Reins Bubbling shaker. I have it in the 4" size for drop shotting but I'm gonna try the 5" and maybe 7" for the Neko rig this year. Maybe secret lure isn't the proper term. More so lure that flies under the radar or doesn't get much press or attention that you've had success with. Sorry for my poor wording.

Not to hijack this thread what is the difference between the jika rig and a wobblehead jig? Just how it's fished?

This should help.

All you need are 3 colors- white, something natural (say watermelon) and if you fish for smallies throw a pink in there.

Fishing can be all about timing. The spring and the fall of the year the fish come shallow to feed up heavily. In the spring they do it to spawn. In the fall they do it prior to winter. These two seasons represent your best chance to catch something close to shore. Now largemouth are different creatures all together, and all the of times the biggest fish will find the thickest, nastiest stuff to find protection. That type of fishing doesn't suit well for beginners. If you are seriously interested in learning look to join a bass club in your area as a non-boater. That will give you a good start to your education. For us fanatics it's a lifetime of learning. Best of luck.

If smallies live there...jerkbait

In all seriousness you can't go wrong with any of their jerkbaits. The differences correspond to the different depths they can be fished.
