If you only had 10 bucks?

Featured Replies

Ok, my budget this month for lures is 10 bucks. I have 2 colors of Senkos, I have 2 inline spinner baits, 3 different kinds of worms, 1 buzzbait, 1 topwater, 1 rapala minnow. What would you guys suggest I get? Keep in mind I only shore fish. :D

Beer and some jigs.

a Strike King red eye shad , this is lately been the only hard bait (besides swimbaits) that i have been throwing and i've been killing them at a little pond that is heavily fished . these baits flat out catch fish !!!! the only thing you might want to do is change out the hooks if they start straighting out on you . i have also put on a feathered treble instead of a plain rear hook . white/chartruse on the sexy shad color is crazy  :D

I'm gonna second the beer idea. Bear Republic Racer 5. A 6 pack is a little over the 10 dollar budget, but well worth it. As far as what to fish with....Just throw the senkos and then go enjoy some Racer 5s.

I would stick with soft plastics since you will get the most bang for your money.

Grab some baby brush hogs in green pumpkin color.

Buy 1 red rose, a 2 pack of lamb skins, 2 creme sodas and invite Peggy Sue fishing.

One pack Rage Craws, green pumpkin.  One Bandit Series 200, I like Pearl w/ Chart Back.

I'd buy a mop jig of your choice and some Rage Tail Lobsters or Hawgs as a trailer...

a shad rap , bullet weights and a drink?

i would also check out those clearance bins at your local sports authority , DSG , etc. depending whats in there , you can get a lot for ten bucks.

Two 1/4 oz jigs, one black/blue and one watermelon, and a pack of Netbait Paca Chunks in green pumpkin.

Well you say you have one topwater but not the type. If you dont have a frog bait thats what I say to get. One SPRO Bronzeye frog I like Green Tree color or you could get 2 Scum Frogs for $10.

Four Plano type 3700 boxes.  After that tell us about the water you fish and we can give you some options on what to buy to fill em. :D

Not a bad way to go. I might go with a 1/2 oz chatterbait in white/chart. Add a pack of Gammy EWG 3/0 worm hooks if you don't have them...

Hey Flippin and Pitching, I fish a lake that has a tremendous amount of vegetation, (don't know what kind) deepest part is 10 feet, one end has riprap. Water tends to be slightly stained. I don't have a thermometer but I would guess water temp to be in the upper 80's to 90.Not sure about dropoffs or structure, Still too new at this. Also, question for everybody, how do you fish a Jig? I have a few with blades on them. :-? I hope this gives more info.

A skirted jig is what we are talking about. Here is an example:

Here is a good place to start learning about jig fishing:

There is much good information in the Articles section as well. Good luck.

1 pack each green pumpkin - Rage Tail Eeliminator & Baby Rage Craws

Two packs of baby brush hogs, one green pumpkin and one wtermelon candy. use them  texas rigged, and if you do have a jig, as you said, you can use the baby brush hogs as jig trailers too. just bite a little off the nose if need be. and if you get a jig get a 3/8 oz one because it will cast farther than the 1/4 oz. and get a green pumpkin with a little purple mixed in for the jig color. Good luck
