How do you fish. Bass oreno?

I've got 2 of them and I don't fish them often anymore, but I usually just casted and reeled them in steadily.  The erratic side to side action was decent.  I even caught a sizable muskie on it years ago too.  The red and white one was the best color.

Three pops and a pause. Repeat. 

 

 

 

 

 

@Glenn that reaper video has me thinking a number of drop shot baits—particularly soft ones (e.g. X-Zone Finesse Slammer, etc.) could be fished the same way, rigged flat side up.

 

Random dialect question: what part of the country does “all’s” come from? I’ve heard you say “all’s you’ve got to do, etc.” a number of times and find it fascinating—have never heard someone from the West Coast talk that way. Though I admit my sample size is somewhat small.

That’s cool!

Glenn’s got about as much twang in him as cream of wheat. So I’m guessing that’s not where he gets it. ?

My dialectically uneducated money says someone in his lineage cheers for the “Stillers” on Sundays. ?

Ah, but do you say "worsh"(wash)? That hurts my ears...

@Glenn There were some of those Slug-o's in my dad's stuff when he died. I'm sure he never used them because he would have thought they were gimmicky. Most likely someone gave him a few. I keep saying I need to use them and keep forgetting to do so.

You mean Pittsburd? That's what my old buddy calls them.

Beno, caught a ton of bass on them.

 

 

Blast from the past. When I was in my 20's a group of guys used to go to Rice Lake near Peterborough Ontario. We mostly fished for walleye. The local bait store convinced us the only lure that would catch walleyes was the beno. We believed them after buying some & they definitely worked for fishing the weedlines we were targeting.

What an odd thing to fixate on. lol! 

 

Frankly, I've been saying that for as long as I remember. I don't even realize I say it. 

 

I do not have any relatives from Pittsburgh or Texas.  But my great grandparents are from Sweden. LOL

 

That said, I've heard some people say there exists a slight, "northwest" accent and/or dialect.  Maybe that's it.  I guess we say "bagel" differently than everyone else, as in BEGel, not BAYgal.

Proper southern grammar "y'all is singular, all y'all is plural".

That was my papaw’s favorite. They actually still make a new version of one, I think it’s called the heddon swimming minnow. I don’t know if it’s as good as the original 

Most people won't remember this but they made them in two sizes. The small one most people used but they also had a one a little bit bigger. I have some of the newer ones that were still called the Bayou Boogie I bought several years ago. While I have used them some I haven't caught anything on them. I guess they are now discontinued. I couldn't find them listed on Heddons website.

The original Pico Perch.

WoodChopper topwater prop bait.  I still have and use one.

OMG!   The all black 9" Fliptail worm was such a big fish magnet.  Haven't seen one in years.

9” Black Widow eel on a twin spin was the thing.

My favorite wooden plug is Smithwick Buck n Brawl, a tail spin surface lure 3” long that can do a lot of tricks. The longer Ma and Pa Scooters were big bass lures.

Darters were retrieved like a surface jerk bait, Bass Oreno was simply retrieved about 6’ to 8’ then stop and let float to the surface then repeat, strike occur anytime but usually when just starting the swim.

every so often some show up on eBay and I grab em.....

I guess the Beetlespin could be considered old now. I still use them, mostly the 1/4 oz version.
