Favorite bass lures for saltwater?

Featured Replies

What is your favorite bass lures to use to catch saltwater fish?

  • Author

I been using swimbaits,chatterbaits,spinnerbait, rattle traps, think I might try a worm like a 13-16" see what that does

I know that when I lived on the oceanfront the saltwater tackle places all stocked very large lipless baits (traps) swimbaits DD crankbaits large jerkbaits  and spoons. If it swims or moves fish will try to eat it.

Spoons.  Can I suggest that you edit the title to say "for salt"?  I probably use more salt water lures for fresh than vice versa.   Swimbaits are interchangeable.

Yamamoto Shad Shape Worm on a drop shot has been

a real winner for all kinds of SW fish here. Favs to catch

are striper, and reds, but I'll take whatever hits the hook!

Bomber jerkbaits-Bass-Assasin soft jerkbaits-spinnerbaits,spoons. also use Charlie Brewers slider grubs. great for seatrout.

All are interchangable ..i use redhead white body traps 1/2 for everything that swims salt and fresh.ive caught drum with manns 6" jellyworms in purple.ive caught bass with nuclear chicken bass assassins.perch with beetle spins and bluegill also. Basic colors do everything in salt and fresh.despite what the pros say i fish from a yak and can go from the chesapeake bay to freshwater ponds in a mattter of minutes.i keep it very simple....rapalas,traps,spooks,plastic worms and fluke type baits,mepps inlines,and beetle spins all in a med size one sided box.ive never been skunked yet. 

Its a great idea to change out all hooks though on the hardbaits with SS and cut the mepps hook off and put a ss single hook on it
