Small swimbaits and senkos mostly. As for backing what would you go with mono or braid?

Curado dc 150
Any help on spoiling my new curado dc I would appreciate it. Not sure if I'm putting 12 or 15 lb invizx or tatsu yet but should I go 10 lb braid or mono for backing? What do you guys prefer and like better thanks!

first bass of the year...
Took my kid fishing last weekend not thinking I was gonna catch anything but we ended up catching two bass on maxscent general's the color's were black and blue fleck and junebug so we were happy! The best part was a hawk tried to swoop down and steal my magdraft but he missed and I got lucky!

Cull Shad vs magdraft
The magdraft is a confidence bait for me so yeah it gets bit. I haven't tried the cullshad yet but I soon will be.

Pud swimbait by epic molds
Can someone school me on this swimbait? Looks interesting just picked up a set on ebay. Just curious if anyone has fished these with any success. To me it looks like the bass would clobber this thing but that's just me so any info would be appreciated thanks.

I never use baitcasting reels
I started fishing spinning reels and loved them and still do but the last few years I ventured into baitcasting reels and I think the world of them. Just make sure you get the right one dial them in and have some fun!

left or right reel handle for spinning reel?
I'm a righty so my spinning gear was always left hand. I always cast with my right. But now I ventured into baitcasting and I feel more comfortable reeling with my right hand is that weird? I thought I would of liked a left hand retrieve in baitcasting but the right hand just feels more natural to me. No big deal to me after casting with my right and switching the rod too my left.

Hitting the lake today
Update I tried a senko, jerkbait, crank bait and the new tanuki but nothing. But I was able to get two bass about a pound each. I caught them on a magdraft 5 inch in albino pearl. That bait is just amazing how it moves in the water I was slow rolling it.

New Yamamoto Bait
No luck tried it for a few casts but nothing. Still a bit chilly here I used a 4\0 ewg gammy weightless.

Hitting the lake today
Just curious what you guys would throw first plastic's are moving hard baits? Still a bit cold here in the north east so topwater would be out of the question.

First bass of the year
We are on the board she was a little over a pound but I'll take it. Caught it on a 3.8 rage swimmer in pearl on a OutKast goldeneye jig head.

New Yamamoto Bait
My tanukies finally came in and I must say by the looks of them they will catch fish. All I need is gp blue fleck and black with blue fleck. A 4\0 ewg looks about right. We will give these a go very shortly. Fat ikas have done nothing for me while the senko is still king.

Big bass baits???
Maxscent general wacky rigged and a 6 inch magdraft that's usually my one two punch!

What lure caught your largest bass in 2022 ?
Caught a 6 pounder on a 5" senko the color was green pumpkin with purple and green fleck. This color has moved into 2nd place right behind my other personal favorite black with blue fleck.
