Has your go to bait been the only bait you use on your fishing outing?

Has your go to bait been the only bait you use on your fishing outing?

 

Sometimes if it is producing right off the bat. I prefer to call it my favorite bait rather than go-to bait because of what the latter implies. But whatever you call them, favorite or go-to, they're worthless if you're not on fish.

To answer your question, yes, it has been the only bait i used on a fishing outing in the past, which is what made it my go to bait. That said, that doesn't mean I will go to the lake and use it all day if they aren't biting it. If they are biting it, though, I will definitely use it all day!

Right now my go to bait is a jerkbait. They've been eating them so well I can't hardly put it down to even try anything else. 

Watermelon red trick worm..t-rigged with an eighth weight..can't beat it

For me it would have to be a Huddleston Weedless Shad or a Grass Minnow. A swim jig would come in at a really close seond to those.

Once or twice if it is producing.  I will throw it as long as the bass want it.

my two go to baits are a T-rigged Sweet beaver or a black and blue jig

you will always find two rods set up like that on the deck and usually one of them is in my hand

 

that is until deep crankin time comes in my area. but i still keep the beaver and the jig on deck

Go ahead and rub it in 

No, but it gets used quite a bit more. If I'm getting bit on my go-to I won't stop. If I can't seem to get a bite where I think I should, I'll go to the finesse side and make a few casts. If nothing bites on the finesse then I'm right back to the go-to. I'd rather get skunked with a bait I have confidence in if I'm going to get skunked.

Right now its a spinnerbait to find them and a split shot rig to clean them up.

No, my go to hasn't been my only bait. A lot of everything has been working.

Put it on a shaky head jig. That works too!

Definitely will try it out! Thanks!

I always have 2 of my favs tied on at all times. I rotate lures on other rods.
