Title: Favorite Bass Bait
Post by: DDSBYDAY on March 03/12/11, 05:57:35 PM
    Interested to see what everyone prefers for bass.    :scratch:   :sorry:   You can only vote for one.  You can rank them here but the poll only allows one vote for your favorite.

     Mine as a kid was the Creek Chub injured minnow.  You can get them on ebay now for about 25 bucks for collecting.  It had a front and rear prop.  I remember mine looked as bad as yours and the last fish popped the screw eye out so I lost the front propeller.  I tried to fix it but it was never the same.  There is nothing like a confidence lure.  :happy1: :happy1:

I would say my all time favorite would be a green Buzz Bait.   :fishing2:

Otherwise any spinners are my baits of choice.

Can't do it. Maybe by seasons I could narrow it down some.

Early spring- Big plastic worms up against the bulrushes.
Early summer-1/4 oz double willow spinner baits with a 3" trailer
Summer- Devil Horse in a bass pattern and a white triple blade buzz bait.
Late summer- Dock fishing with six inch purple worms
Early Fall- White buzz baits and zara spooks
Mid fall- 1/4 oz double willow blade spinner baits with double skirts in yellow and blue with 4" Gulp Trailers
Late fall- Everything in my tackle box till I find out what they are biting on.  :happy1:

I seem to do well with soft plastics in green. Two of my favorites are lizards in green pumpkin and 5" Kalin's grubs in watermelon flake.
