1 Lure You Have No Confidence In...

Featured Replies

For me I will have to say a Tube. Ive fished a tube a little bit, but not much. Just dont have an confidence to use it much. Im going to work on it a little more this year so maybe I can get a little confidence in it.

    I'm very surprised to see so many dont have confidence in spinnerbaits. Its one of my go to baits since forever.

    Swim Jigs Spinnerbaits Chatterbaits Big Swimbaits Poppers Tubes Beavers   These are the ones I'm going to focus on this year. Except for the tube. I don't really care about fishing a tube.

Dang. I just re-read the topic. "NO" confidence... Deleted my "worm" reference, since that's my confidence bait, and we'll go with the following:

 

Crankbaits

 

I love these things, but catch so few fish on them it is a shame. I still try, but end up frustrated.

Swim jigs, spinnerbaits. Even tie for me. Zero success despite all my efforts.

Swim Jig.  I so badly want to turn the confidence for me with it, but I can't seem to catch fish.  I know it is productive in the waters I fish.....but not for me.

Plastic hollow bodied swim baits. I haven't caught any bass on them. I got some huge drum with them but that's it.

I dont have much confidence in a Swim Jig either

Hard plastic jerkbaits. I don't get out in cold water much, but when I do I have a hard time catching anything on these. 

Soft plastic Swimbaits. I've never caught a thing on them.

Same for me. So over the last few months I have picked up a couple of lipless, SK 3-5-6XD's, and 3 storm arashi's

I would say a jerkbait.I don't catch many on them. My top 3 favorite would be deep diving crankbait,texas rigged worm,and rattletrap.

Buzzbaits!  Hate 'em!  Zero confidence, too many misses.  

I guess I'm confident in everything but a suspending jerkbait and a dropshot. I hate throwing anything finesse,Like a shakey head,Texas rig,weightless senko/trick worm even a spinnerbait. Everyone on the lake is throwing a shakey head or a spinnerbait it seems like. That's why I stick with a swim jig or swim bait 99% of the time if the cover and water clarity allow it.

Senko and other similar stick worms.  I don't beat the bank very much and that's all I've ever head of anyone doing with the things to get bit.   

Jig,

Ashamed to say that, but i've never caught a fish on a jig. Granted i've probably fished with a jig a total of 1 hour.

 

Chatterbaits too.

Swim jigs. This will be my first year trying then again in three four years.

 Drop Shot or Tube. I just can't figure it out. :dazed-7:  :Idontknow:

You guys that don't like the swim jig should really throw it more. Take two medium heavy rods higher speed reels spooled with braid and a handful of swim jigs. Don't take any other lures and go fish them. It's the only way you are going to learn.

Deep cranking my home lake. Caught a handful of fish with them. Just not enough to say I have any real confidence in throwing them. Spent a good couple of hours today trying, just didn't happen....

Lip less crankbait... weird as hell.
