i am thinking about using those , are they for smallies only or can be fished for lmbs and what lures you tend to use for darter heads?

Darter heads can be used for all species, definitely not limited to just smallies. I catch more spotted bass on them than anything. Soft plastic worms work great, I use a Dichoso Baits nightcrawler worm with them the majority of the time. I know some guys use grubs and other plastics on them as well.

  It's a fun finesse technique that definitely can catch good numbers of fish.

As David mentioned your favorite worm is a great place to start. How ever there really are not many plastics you can fish on a dart head. Creature baits work, craw worms, grubs, tubes. It is just more of a finesse technique, but it does catch big fish as well. I generally prefer to throw my creatures on a darter, and worms on a shakey head.

I've picked up a ton of spots and LM's with a 5" grub on a darterhead. They are great to use when you have a beginner out with you, and then you'll start throwing them too when you see how many fish the "beginner" is catching with them.

I like throwing a straight tail roboworm on a 1/8 oz darthead. Most any plastic will work. They also work well for boot tail swimbaits in open water.

I love dartheads. I've seen every soft plastic thrown on one and catch fish. Senkos, flukes, basstrix, other non weighted swimbaits, flashtrix, roboworms, hand pours, yamamoto shad shape worms, grubs, hula grubs, tubes. Everything I have in my tackle box that has caught fish on another rigging method has caught fish on a darthead.

They're not always the highest in efficiency but time to time they do work, and sometimes when nothing else will.

Darthead is actually my number one bait that I tell absolute beginners to learn to use. If they learn to work it and get bit I strongly believe they can get bit on any other "feel" bait out there.

Primarily they are a finesse technique and while I wouldn't consider them a high percentage bait when it comes to big bass, they'll still hit it.

I personally use 6-8lb fluoro or mono my choice is p-line halo in 6lb, a spinning reel with a decent drag, and a medium to medium heavy action spinning rod in 7' and up length, my choice is a dobyns dx743.  For baits I use just about everything but I also like straight tail worms, some favorites are pro-worms, roboworms, magic worms and the dichoso baits David listed are also awesome.  I use a 1/8-1/4oz limit lures darthead.

Hope you have fun with the bait and feel free to pm me and I'd be happy to answer other questions, I love the thing and it's still one of my favorites when it gets really tough!

i wonder if i can use darter with the new 3 inch swimsenko for lmbs?

Yes. Why not? If you get the weight right I don't see why you can't stroke that bait off the bottom and get the tail to kick on the free fall. Maybe like a dying bait fish. The dart head should give it an erratic fall.

the 3 inch senk was designed for crappie and panfih that's why ilm wonderin

Do you have two accounts?

Don't always worry about what baits were "designed for". We catch largemouth on Pike baits, trout baits, crappie baits, salt water baits, a title means nothing.

Bass are stupid.  Don't over complicate things.  They'll eat anything put in front of them if it's presented right.

yeah i have 2 account

one is for computer and one is for phone because when i use same account on my phone and computer it said spoofing so i dont want to get banned like before

Baits are designed to catch predatory fish species, any predatory fish species, 'there isn 't a single time I go panfishing that I don 't catch 4-5 mids ized bass plus a bunch of smaller ones with "panfish baits". High in the sierra where we normally fish for trout & bass we catch a lot of rainows with "bass baits".

Think of the dart head as a finesse swim jig for open water areas.

Te late Dick Trask was known for split shotting 3" to 6" soft plastic worms, however he also won a lot of tournaments using darts on suspended bass.

The most common combo is a 5 1/2" curl tail on 1/8 oz dart, 6 lb FC line.
