If you can only pick three techniques for bass fishing what would it be? My top three will be texas rig, swim jig , jerkbait.

Jackall flickShake 

Spinnerbait 

Jig

Spinnerbait, Wakebait, Texas Rig.

Texas rig

shallow crank 

top water

Spinnerbait - My most consistent reaction bait 9 months out of the year.

 

Texas Rig - Most versatile, worm, creature, beaver…bottom contact or swim them lots of options.

Weightless Soft Plastic - fluke, senko, trick worm.  Flat out catches fish for me in various types of shallow cover.

Frog

T-rig creature 

Vibrating jig

 

I’ll play by the rules but just three is hard.

The Tiny Child Rig

Eight Trap Method

Doodling.

A-Jay

 

 

Buzzbait

Spinnerbait 

Punch rig

1st 2 were easy but it's tough to leave a frog off for the punch rig as there are always pads to frog and I can throw it April to Nov. And punchable weeds can be weather fickle around here. But when they're up and the weather is right it really is fun.

Three only....urg....

 

Lipless cranks

Chatterbaits

 

ummm

3 techniques:

1) Cast and retrieve

2) Pitch to visible targets

3) Hop/shake/drag on the bottom

1. drop shot
2. texas rig
3. chatterbait

'topwater'

'moving baits'

'bottom contact's

 

That bout covers it.  🥹😂🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

 

Okay seriously - how about just two 😎👍🏼

 

Frog 

T Rig

 

I dunno why but that's my confidence - I can make it work most of the time with one of these 2 guys.

 

In the warmer months I'd throw a spinnerbait on that list and in colder months I'd throw a lipless on that list if I HAD to pick a moving bait.

 

99% of bass fishing is putting a lure where they live and getting them to commit to biting it and it seems like big bass all agree that these two lures are pretty irresistible.

Jig

Topwater

Ned

1.Hard baits

2.Soft baits

3.live bait.

I would hate to limit myself, but If I was forced to be more specific, I would choose 

1.Top water

2.Bottom contact

3.Mid water.

 

Chatterbait/willowchatter

Frog

Weedless fluke weightless and weighted 

Texas Rig, weightless and weighted (with the option of converting to Carolina rig by adding a split shot up the line to peg the weight)

 

Crankbaits

 

Spinnerbaits

The times they are a changin’

 

A month ago my answer would be different. But right now it’s:

 

Swim Jig

 

Texas Rig

 

Chatterbair

 

This is easy. These 3 are always on the deck. 

 

Jig, Texas Rig, Spinnerbait

T-rig

Spinnerbait

Crankbait

 

Even though I'm not actually limited to three, that's 90% of what I fish with. 

Shallow cranking

Mid Depth cranking

Deep cranking
