The Ultimatum.

purple 7 inch culprit worm texas rigged.

After having done so well with Sliderfisn on Mille Lacs I would have to choose a 4″ Mizmo tube in Ouachita Special on a 7 foot Medium Light spinning rod. It’s hard not to stay with a very good thing…..

A 5-inch Yum Dinger in Green Pumpkin/Chart. Tail, Texas rigged with a 1/8 oz weight. I can fish it in just about any type of cover and if there’s fish there, they’ll generally bite it eventually.

shimano low-profile caster, 7ft medium-fast tip guide series rod, texas riged 7 inch power worm- pumpkinseed, and 1/8 ounce slip wait.

Well….Chartreuse spinnerbait with a white Mr. Twister trailer, single spin with a 3.5 inch long willow leaf blade attached with a ball bearing swivel. 15 or 20 pound Power Pro, Garcia 5500C3, 7 foot medium heavy fast action rod.

I know, I know worms work better….but I have a lot of confidence in that presentation and I can fish it many different ways.

Replace the PP with Floro and you’ve got my answer.

Rootski,
Confidence is an anglers biggest asset! I agree.

My choice for river smallies up here would be a Large Pop-R on a 6’6″ St. Croix medium action with a ex-fast action tip on a Shimano 1500 series spinning reel. This presentation does day in and day show and catch big smallies up here.

7′ MH baitcaster with 30lb PowerPro, and a 5″ pearl/smoke Yumdinger texas rigged on a 3/0 offset red Gammie worm hook…. weightless. It can be fished anywhere, anytime!

I got a “special, secret weapon” spinnerbait that I wouldn’t leave home without it!!!!!
AND
I’d have a BIG bag of bass!

DZ and Blue will see these in action in the next few weeks!

7′ 6″ Flippin stick. 20# Suffix. 4″ Black & Blue tube texas rigged.

a 6’6″ Bass Pro Shops Extreme XPS Freestyle Jigging Rod 50 lb braid, and this jig tied on . Deadly on the Miss

7’0″ Carbon Classic MH fig rig, Shimano Cruxis, 50 lb sufix performance Braid, natural brown spro bronzeye frog. Can’t beat it right now on 8.

a 7′ medium with fast tip, qauntium 5000cx baitcaster with an outkast camo jig and pig with matching pig trailer on 17# berkley xt mono. big fish bait.

6’6″ St.Croix triumph medium fast, Flueger Purist, 14# Vanish with a 3/4 oz G-loc swim jig with a Pro Tour Bait 2.75″ crazy chuck trailor Working well on 4-5 pounders lately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tough call if you are talking a bait for all seasons.

I guess I would go with a Sweet Beaver, 1/4 oz weight, Color not too important, but across all seasons I would probably pick a black color like Penetration or Hematoma.

Senko would be a close 2nd, but sucks for high winds.

7 foot St Croix with Shimano Curado spooled with 14lb Sulfix Elite flipping a Chompers white 4in tube 3/16oz weight 3/0 EWG Gami hook.

I would choose a 7 ft med hvy Falcon Cara with Shimano Curado and use a 3/16 oz jig (color depending on water and day Color) with Strike Kings new Rage Tail Chunk. Day in and day out that chunk gets it done. Super slow or fast retrieve, the action is unbelievable and drives fish crazy. Beats the Paca hands down.
