What is a good “Go-To” Lure for Largemouth Bass?
My buddy and I are always having friendly competitions for fishing, so we like to keep score. He typically uses worms/lizards and lip/lipless crankbaits while I use nearly exclusivly spinner and buzz baits.
Thats great and we are usually pretty even at the end of the day, but some days when he is behind in the count early, he can slap on his Banjo Minnow and grab a couple small guys to catch up.
My fishing arsenal doesn’t have something like that. Im looking for an idea on some unique bait to throw around to change the pace from the standard bass baits.
I have the Flying Lure, which I used to swear by, but it hasn’t produced. Maybe I need to stick with it?
Thanks much!!!
Wow! The flying lure? And you caught a fish on it? You get my vote for worlds greatest fisherman based on that one fact. But to your question.Here would be my go – to lure when the spinners did not produce. A Senko type lure fished weedless and Texas rigged. It is fished very slow, with numerous twitches and pauses on the retrieve. Some times the fish will hit it while it is sitting there. This is the only method and lure that will consistently hang in there with a spinner bait and will keep producing fish when the spinner bait bite has tapered off. It will be extremely hard to fish it slow enough after burning the waters up with a spinner bait, but master it and you will have another weapon in your arsenal. I have to assume that your buddy is using weights on his plastics. This will give you a lure he isn’t using. That will be to your benefit. Good luck!
