I'm upstate at our timeshare fishing a nice size pond on the property and I noticed the water is very dirty like chocolate due to rain. I was trying alot of black and blue bait's like a chatterbait, senko and even a jig and pig and nothing. Once I tied on the 6th Sense Crush in black magic it was on good fishing!

I like a 1/0 gamagatsu octopus hook with a gyc senko as well.

You mean flange up or down when rigged weightless?

Picked up a few packs of the cut r worms because I like trying something new all the time. I love all the rage products I think they are some of the best plastic's in the business. I assume you fish these weightless over grass or slow roll them off the bottom? What are some of the best ways you guys like to fish these thanks!

I'll be definitely ordering some of these you guys make some of the best jigs! Any difference between the two?

Funny you mentioned these I just picked up some keitech model 2 version 2 tungsten football jigs. I hear really good things about these and by the looks of them they look pretty nice!

Santone makes great tackle good luck with those!

These are some great suggestions thanks again.

Just got back from upstate. We caught a couple of nice bass but all they seem to be hitting was the senko and jig. Most of them were small but my biggest was on a jig. I never really fished them till now. So now I know. What are some of your favorite finesse jigs?

Definitely a senko weightless or wacky rigged.

It's funny you mentioned this I have a silver and a gold one both original floating rapalas I will try both thanks! I do have some black and blue fleck fat ika's that I will toss thanks!

Good choices thanks!

I was thinking of picking up a tokyo rig do you prefer the jika rig instead? Okay I got a few of those I will try them thanks! I have a rat l trap in chrome blue and a few red eye shads that I will try thanks!

We are headed to our timeshare next week in upstate NY and need some advice. There are two nice size ponds on the property loaded with bass this I know because we caught quite a few last year. We were catching most of them on senkos. What else do you guys recommend that I could use that can be effective? I stocked up on a good bit of tackle over the winter that I could use thanks in advance!

Evergreen shower blow's and super spook jr's are more productive for me.

I like a super spook jr in bone or black it drives them nuts.

Probably the new Diawa tatula sv tw just because of the technology it packs and the versatility it offers.

For topwater I would go with a evergreen shower blow or a heddon super spook. For mid-range I like a kvd 1.5 or a chatterbait and for bottom contact I would role with a senko or a rage bug.

I tend to stay away from hard plastic unscented baits. I do way better on softer scented baits so that's what I stick with.

Once the wife gave me the green light too go fish today I ran like the wind! First I used a wacky worm and then a ned rig but nothing. Then I rigged a clear chartreuse dark sleeper and it was on! Now I see why this bait gets the hype go get some!

Just picked up a SC Mojo bass 71MHF on sale and I'm very happy with it. I was thinking about the Dobyns fury 703c but my heart was set on the mojo just the sensitivity alone makes this a great rod!

Ever since I tried the Zman jerkshads I don't use anything else. They are scented and super soft but I still do like the caffeine shad's.

Ok thanks guys so I guess it doesn't make that much of a difference just curious.

What do you guys prefer feather or no feather for your topwaters? To me it just makes more sense looks more realistic. I honestly get more bites with a feather than not. I think I may swap them all out to feathered problem solved.

Try owner twist locks in a 3/0 or gamakatsu octopus in 1/0 for wacky rigging I like both.
