    Hey gang,
    Please state or list your favorite largemouth bass lure. I’m new to this so pics and specific names are greatly appreciated.

    My favorite bait changes throughout the season. If I had to pick one bait it would be fishing a Gary Yamamoto 5″ senko wacky rigged.

    I only fish top waters for bass….love the hits. I was stuck on Skitter Pops for a long time then started with the hollow bodied frogs for getting back into serious slop.

    This was a great post as it reminded me that I need to replace my braid.

    Any type of sunfish colored creature bait with a 1/2 oz weed less jig head.

    Second would be rapala DT series cranks.

    I have been a big fan of the punch rig. Probably my favorite way to fish large mouth.

    Anyone tried the VMC tokyo rig? Seems like a good way to punch through slop and get after the big ones.

    -Strike King 1.5 and 2.5 squarebill cranks for shallow cranking.
    -Strike King 5XD and 6XD for deep cranking (15-20ft)
    -Topwater frog, really any brand (I like Spro Bronzeyes)
    – White/Chartruese Spinnerbait with double willow blades
    -White/Chartruese Chatterbait
    -Texas Rigged Creature baits (plastic) by any brand in Black/Blue flake. (I like Strike King Rage Bugs)
    -1/4-1/2 oz jigs in black/blue or anything green pumpkin. Work great with the creature baits mentioned above as trailers.

    YES! It is awesome. Really good to punch with. I was going to make a video about it last year and never got to it. It also works great with paddletails!!! Slow roll it along the bottom with the weight dragging along the bottom. Keeps the swimbait up about 3 inches off the bottom. But don’t tell anyone you can use them like that!!! whistling

    You teach me how to use them and I’ll get you on pool 2 this summer.

    I’m not expert but I’ve caught fish on them punching and swimming like I mentioned. That sounds like a good deal Matt. Dragging it along the bottom with a paddletail on the Monti stretch of the Miss is deadly for smallies. Mike Iaconnelli used it that way when he was fishing that stretch for his youtube channel about a month ago.

    I like big fat tubes too. I’ve never gained confidence with skirted jigs for whatever reason.

    Well I can say the wacky worm out did anything today and yesterday by a long long shot.
    I personally dont wacky rig very often but after my buddy proved to me the last 2 days that it will be rigged on a rod forever now

    I wonder if wacky rigged baits trigger fish because it looks like another fish swimming off with a meal, albeit an invisible fish. I’m sure most have you seen one fish being chased by other fish because it’s swimming off with food. Heck you see it in birds and other animals too. Sometimes a meal is easier to steal than hunt down.

    Hard to beat a wacky rig… but

    If they are in/around weeds then an All Terrain Grassmaster jig in 1/2 or 3/4 oz with a Megadaddy trailer has the high profile for the bigguns…
