Ripbaits at night

Featured Replies

Explain rip bait? If its like a topwater bait with a prop blade or blades then yes I have used them and caught several fish on them. I like them because you can make a lot of noise without moving the bait much.

You're thinking of a buzz bait.

I mean like a husky jerk or some kind of hard bait you rip and pause through the water.

I was thinking of a devils horse. I have taken a rapala and broke the lip off and caught fish on it and I also sometimes use a shallow rogue that has produced but jerkbaits are not high on my list to use at night. I am not saying they will not work because they do its just not my top choice.

Out west we used to use them quite a bit at night, baiscally stuck with the rouge though. The wate is a lot clearer than where I am at now and on a good strong moon night they were great. Usually worked best with a pretty steady retrieve though. With that said you would think a rattle trap would work well but it never really compaired.
