What is your favorite lure?

What is the best lure you use?

 

I use shad to catch bass most of the time and it is pretty reliable.

I used live bait to haul in ocean monsters.

I always use chicken liver to CAT fish.

Wiggle wart (spelling).

Good Ole' minnows for Bass fishing.

 

Worms for Bluegill.

 

Chicken liver, and Bluegill for Catfish.

For bass my favorite is "The Minow"

For Bluegill, nightcrawlers and earth worms

For Cat, Chicken Liver and Hotdogs(sounds crazy, but with a little WD40 on it, cats love them.)

After trying many different types of baits for bass over the years, I've become a staunch GRUB MAN.

 

Kalin Blue Pearl Salt&Pepper is my favorite

 

Green at Pickwick Lake, Tennessee

 

Blue at Cumberland

 

I live for the strike and the hookset and a grub provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy both. They can be worked deep or shallow, made to dive, and retrieved fast or slow.

 

I use my grubs with LunkerGrip 1/4 or 1/8 jig heads. The shaft is ridged like a series of cones and holds the grub tight to the jig.

 

I order them on the web at http://www.lunkercity.com

I like live bait. If I could only have one, it'd be a big old night crawler. Most any species of fish will eat a night crawler. A close second would be mud eels, which I haven't seen in years. Helgrammites are also good. For panfish I like crickets or wax worms. Minnows for crappie and bass. For catfish, I prefer a small live bluegill, but just about anything that's raw or stinks for catfish will work.

an old guy at work told me once " any color worm is good as long as its black" so i use black rubber night crawlers more then anything else when bass fishing

I like live bait, but for bass fishing I use the Silver Buddy

It's a little work, but something I do for catfish is I marinate some grilled chicken breast in jello all night then I use it. I grill it because I'm a little iffy about handling raw chicken, it has never failed me.

Almost forgot about goldfish for the really big catfish!I caught a 39,27,21 and 14 pders back in my paylake fishing days!Also like to add I caught a 30 pd drum out of Laurel this year on my salty craws!I thought I had a world record smallie!

[play4pride]

For bass, red eyes, bluegill, crappie, and other small fish I use a bright color rooster tail size varies. For cat fish I use chicken livers and some times the occasional PB&J. Corn flake balls are also a must and you can't count out the stink bait.

I have caught everything from red-eared sunfish,bluegills,crappie,largemouth,smallmouth, striper, hybrid, and catfish on a simple salt & pepper colored soft plastic jerkbait..... while at a local pond I noticed this mammoth redeared sunfish sitting on its spawning bed right at the edge of the pond.... I had never caught one so I started wiggling that jerkbait and sure enough it attacked in defense.....

 

 

I also have a lot of luck using Mister Twister Sassy Shad, a orange,blue,and silver colored Rapala Husky Jerk, and a Rapala Jointed Minow with shad coloring.
