Today i went to the store and bought a popper, a hollow body frog, a popper hollow body frog, a KVD 1.5" squarebill, a pack of 3.25" tubes in watermelon seed, a black and blue jig, and screw lock jig heads. How do I fish all of these?

 

Thanks!

Nice assortment!! What brand popper and frog did you get? I have been learning how to use my lures by reading on here and watching vids on YouTube. If I get to watch fishermen use the lures in addition to written or spoken instruction it helps me the most!

I'm not entirely sure. The frogs were 3.99 each but and the popper was in a bargin bin.

Poppers and frogs. Let them sit or move them a little. Give them a twitch here and there or walk them. When you find out what the fish like, do it again. The frog is especially fun on top of matted vegetation. Shake it in place or drag it and hang on for when all heck breaks lose.

 

Through the square bill out and reel it back. Best if it's bumping into stuff. Through in a pause or very the speed to see if it makes something happen.

 

Tubes are one of my favorites. Lately I've been catching river small mouth on a t-rigged tube mostly just dragged or drifting in the current. But sometimes I put some real vigor into bouncing it using a tube jig head. I've been keeping some of the jig heads with the wide gap hook around (for weedless rigging) and that's fun...like a "stupid tube" kind of thing. No rules just experiment to find what the fish like.

 

Screw lock jigs...are we talking about a shaky head kind of thing?

You can work the popper and the frogs in a similar way, using the rod tip to pop them along. Sometimes fast works, but don't forget to try working them slow it that doesn't work.   The square bill can be just cast out and retrieved at a steady pace over rocks, or timber of some sort.  If there is nothing to bounce it off during your retrieve, just pause it occasionally.

A tube is a different animal all together as it can be rigged in any number of ways. I prefer some sort of internal weight as they really attract best when allowed to fall and spiral. Mostly I use lead head jigs with the hook exposed, but for targeting cover, I prefer to T-Rig them.

The jig can be pitched to cover like docks, or timber and allowed to fall into openings in vegetation.  Normally, you'd use some sort of plastic trailer with it. It can also be cast and either hopped, stroked, or crawled back.

Those screw locks are good for rigging worms, or any sort of soft plastic bait, even those tubes you bought. Just remember that with the majority of soft plastics, you use your rod to move the bait and the reel to pick up the slack. 

Click on the video tab up at the top and check out all the different titles. Glen has put together a bunch of how to ones and there are a good number of articles that cover these baits as well.

I disagree.  If you throw them all at the same time, that's a lot of hooks in the water that's bound to get something!  Use a 26.3:1 reel and BURN them babies back in after casting them 300 yards

Use 1 A-rig.
