Confidence Box

Featured Replies

What baits would you or do keep in your confidence box? What baits do you always go to when nothing else is working?

Green pumpkin 5" senkos

Ayu FX Sculpins 4" roboworms

5" green Pumpkin or cimmamon purple flake Yamamoto Hula Grubs

Confidence techniques are Drop shot, Carolina rig/ football head and anything with a Senko

Also, a Rapala SR7 in Perch

Senko 6"

Stanley top toad

Big Bite Bait 5" cane thumper

Zoom 8" lizard

Zoom magnum Uvibe

KVD 1.5

Blade bait

Rebel Pop'r

I have a box that is all square bills, and other shallow cranks that I'm pretty confident in.

But I'm afraid that if I really kept a "confidence box" I'd never try new things.

LC Pointer 78, SK 3xd, 5xd, flipping tube, 4.5" curly tail roboworm, Rattlin Spook, arkie style jig, Terminator titanium spinnerbait...How many do I get?

12 ft of confidence box, not much, but all mine.

1/4oz shakey head w/ Candybug zoom trick worm. KVD Caffiene shad watermelon seed. Purple/red flake senko. If I can't catch em' on there, they aint' bitin'.....

Dynamite or buzzbait. Or a buzzbait with dynamite attached. Yeah that would get em caught....muuuuuhahahahahaha

strike king 3xd, 5xd , yamamoto senko 5in any greenish color/pumpkin watermelon,  wacky rig hooks. If there are two thing I can catch fish on its a crankbait and a wacky rig.

Spinnerbait...covers every depth, changes speeds.  Does a little of everything....that gives me confidence.

I don't keep my confidence in a box or tied on a rod. Confidence is built through success. Success only comes with time on the water.

Yup, Location / Depth / Presentation are the keys and when you get all those right you can have confidence in anything you throw at 'em. 

5" green pumpkin senko

7" trick worm on a shakey head

Any craw colored squarebill

And of course a jig

Mostly stick worms, trick worms, Recon worm, crankbaits, and some jigs. Also whatever terminal tackle is appropriate

You can call it what you want, mine is my little bag of essentials, which are baits that are tried true for my neck of the woods, taking into account the conditions and seasons. As far as baits, I carry: Frog, stickworms, fluke, spinnerbaits trickworm and centipedes. If I can't catch something with any of those baits its real baaaad day. 

Squarebill, spook, pop r, chigger craw crazy legs, rage craw, worms, brush hogs, the new Keitech swimbaits, and everything else in my plano boxes!!

Jig , frog , spook. , pop r. , kvd 1.5 , yum dinger , rage craw , culprit ribbon tail worm. , spinner bait

Oh that's easy:

- ShakyHead

- Fluke

- Pit Boss

- Square Bill 

- WACKY WORM

Sadly, I'm just not quite there with a jig yet ... thats a work in progress :)

is anyone else surprised on how much shallow water stuff is listed

Gotta love Shallow - many a angler would be lost without it ... as I can clearly

attest;)

**** That Horrible Nightmare that wakes you up during the

middle of the night in a cold sweat. All you can remember

from the dream is that largemouth bass would never again

live in shallows, but had all permanently moved to 20 ft.

deep ledges...
