A black Johnson spoon 1/4oz.

Texas rigged Zoom trick worm, rigged tail end with a fine wire 1/0 or 2/0 offset hook.

Use a Manns dragin worm as a spinnerbait trailer.

what is so sercet about any of the lures you all talked about. you can buy all of them in a store throughout the us. Just my opinion.

You definately are missing the point here aren't you ?

Bass Pro Shops 7.5 inch Tournament series Watermellon W/bl flake Stick O Worms.

The secret is I get an exacto knife and make a 3 inch slice down the long way of the tail. Basically cutting the tail into two sections This way you get two "tails" instead of one hanging off the worm. Then, I take the exacto knife and cut each of the two "tails" right down the middle the long way. Now I have 4 "tails" about 3 inches long that wisp and wiggle around in the water as it moves.

Small twitches and short drags, mixed with longer pauses has been a great presentation for big bass. I caught a 6 pound 3 oz LMB on one in May.

Rage Tail Thumper Worm

Mattlures Baby Bass

Spro Frog

Banjo Minnows and Ivory Soap. ;D

Just kiddin, X-Raps in every size and color have been doing well for me.

In past week this has quickly become my favorite.

It's a MegaStrike Shak-E2 head with a skirt and a June Bug floating trick worm.

Roboworm Straight Tail Worm in Erhler's Edge.

Big-O, you've let the cat out of the bag.

My #1 bait in 2009 was a Space Monkey on a Shakey2 jighead, rigged like a grub with the hook exposed.

Been doing the same thing this year with the Rage Shad, Smokin Rooster and the Eeliminator. Deadly!

The real secret rig, if you can call any rig a secret; a GYCB Swim Senko on a Fin-Tech Skip Jighead.

I've been fishing more jighead/plastics combinations than any other rig for the last two years.

My best jigheads, in no particular order:

Shakey2

Fin-Tech Titleshot

Fin-Tech Skip Jig

Tru Tungsten Iaconelli jigheads

  Lucky Craft Rick Clunn Wake Action 3.5 in Copper Green Shad. The secret I've been using with it is walking it like a spook, only slightly sub-surface. Hard to explain, ya gotta see it. Just walk it like a spook, and the two halves click together, really calling the fish up. I have caught an 18" Smallmouth and Largemouth up to 6.5 pounds over the last two trips throwing this lure. But its not just a big bass bait. I've had 10" Smallmouth cream this thing 

strike king zero purple haze wacky or texas rigged

One that is a secret kinda. Mostly only know in its region.

I have been doing well on a D-Bait in the classic foil black back color. I have also been catching lots of fish on a floating evergreen jerkbait.

Two baits that I am the only one throwing on my lake.

One other bait thats a secret is the Cotton Cordell CC shad. Its available everywhere but isnt talked about much. Its got some downsides its light and hard to cast, its hard to tune right and some never seem to run straight. But it catches fish.

This may be a bit of ignorance on my part, but what is a D bait?

This may be a bit of ignorance on my part, but what is a D bait?

Its best to call and see what colors he has available or you may be waiting until he gets the baits done. But the baits are worth the wait.

One more suggestion:

Swarming Hornet with a 3 1/2" LFT Live Magic Shad.

Cast and let the lure fall to the bottom. Retrieve by

reeling fast, then allowing the lure to sink on slack

line. The blade lifts the bait, DO NOT lift it with your

rod.

The strike is always on the fall and you may not feel it.

When you begin to reel, if you detect ANYTHING, set

the hook!
