Probably my worst luck of losing lures was last year. I lost two LC staysees in the first twenty minutes. Then he tells me " that might be where I sank those brush piles." information that would have been useful after I lost the first one. Oh well, it turned into a heck of day. Caught my PB kentucky and hybrid. So you win some, you lose some.

I have never used hair jigs but I have done well with Jewel Eakins and football jigs for smallies. PB&J, brown & purple, brown, and brown and blue.

LC staysee ghost minnow or chart shad.

My most productive lures are: 1. Jigs 2. Flukes 3. zoom trick worms 4. 10" worms 5. rogues or pointers

I wish that we could pick more than one because I like bass pro and I like the local stores too. I like bass pro because when we go up to springfield it like a holiday. It is always the first place we go and my wife likes it as much as I do. The only negative I have about BPS is I will never make another online purchase with them. It was a disaster. Cabelas was a lot better in that regard. Also, more impressed with their catalogs lately than BPS. Lastly, I like the mom and pop places to hang out and pick something up when I am in a pinch.

If we are talking about the best made now, I would say Lucky crafts and Megabass. As far as catching more fish for me Im still partial to swithwick rogues. Also, I have caught more on a zoom super fluke than all the rest combined.

It would be a 5/16 once brown jig. I can catch fish with it year around.

My two favorite cranks are norman DLN's and storm wiggle warts. Mainly because they are good producers where I live. I also like the Lucky Craft RC's.

Congrats!!! Now you will have to learn when to put them down like everyone already stated. Im still having that problem.

Wow that is a good deal. I would have done the same thing.

They are pretty good around here from fall through spring as long as there is some wind. That is a pretty big factor. As far as color any of the crawdad colors work. You just have to find the one they like the best.

Favorite Lure is a jig. Mainly because I can catch fish with them year around but I also love jerkbaits.

I like this one! Rod: MH 7' Falcon Cara Reel: Shimano Chronarch Line: 12# Seaguar Flouro Lures: 3/8 homemade jig brown 3/4 PB&J football jig storm wiggle wart V45 Megabass or LC jerkbait Zoom Super Fluke pearl

I live close to bull shoals and it can be a challenging lake. If I was fishing it in october I would probably throw a crankbait or a spinnerbait if there is any wind. Also, I would throw a topwater some. If it happens to be calm I would probably throw jigs. I know that the pb&j color works good for smallies. Lastly if it is not to cool yet you might try throwing a single spin or jigs after dark. Good luck.

I feel like most of you guys I would like to tie something on and try to hit a moving target but I think the best thing is to call the sheriff. Also, I would suggest night fishing since the jet skis have to be off the water but be careful. We had a collision between a bass boat and ski boat at night last week that left two people dead. It was a terrible accident that could have probably been avoid but they are still investigating.

Hey a dd22 is a size #2. Likewise I don't know what kind they come with from the factory. Also, if you have a BPS catalog they usually list the size hook that comes with the lure. Thats how i see which one to put on.

I like either a GY twin tail grub or a netbait paca chunk. They both seem to work real well. The netbait holds up a little better though, more than one fish a trailer.

I would use crawdad cranks and a weightless t-rigged lizard. Those have been my go to baits for a couple of years now. I would also bring some tubes, hula grubs and a couple of topwaters. Now with all this talk, I think that i will go creek fishin tomarrow.

I mainly use jewel eakins or football jigs. That is what most people around here use but I have a friend that swears by revenge jigs. I think that you can get them on ***.com. They would probably be better suited for the lake that you are going to fish. Good luck.

I usually t-rig them but I do use them on a carolina rig sometimes. When I t-rig them I usually throw them at night. They are a good big fish lure but I have caught some fish that were the same size as the worm.

My favorites are LC sammies, spooks, and Storm chug bugs.

Yes they work well for largemouth. I like to mojo rig or split shot them. They work well spring through summer. Also, I like to use them creek fishing for smallmouth either t-rigged or weightless with current.

I have found that it is usually better a couple of hours before a storm hits. However, one of the best days I ever remember on the lake a buddy and I hit right after a good storm and it really fired up the fish. They were killing the spooks and sammies. Sometimes two at a time. It was quite a day.

If it is a worm I would probably throw watermelon or green pumpkin. If it is a jig some combination of brown.

I would get some more pointer 100 or 78's in ghost minnow, chart. shad & old tenn shad. Also, I would get some sammies in the same colors but I don't think color matters so much with a topwater. Lastly I would pick up some LC RC 1.5 in the copper green shad and ghost minnow. Good luck
