What is the best lure for catching BIG Largemouth Bass?

Question

i wanna catch 7+ pounders, what should I use.

Answer 1

there are a couple i would especially recommend for huge largemouth...the yum dinger and the yamasenko

I perfer yum dinger...
-the 5 inch junebug and bumble bee swirl works the best
-a forktail junebug dinger works wonders also

the yamasenko is good also
- they are not as good as the dinger but still good try the swimming senko, this works great

i would rig these all texas rigged since i dont believe wacky works as well

Answer 2

what i find the best for BIG BASS is big minnow baits or topwater baits like the AC PLUG
this website will provide alot of info

also try big shiners or other minnows or just try big swimming baits like the many made from STORM LURES

There are a few lures that are true "big fish" lures. Most professional anglers will acknowledge the jig and pig as a lure that will consistently produce large fish. Buzzbaits and large spinnerbaits also account for a good number of spring trophies.
Later on, or on real warming periods, a Zara Spook or the new Spit 'N' Image worked over a bedding bass may provoke a strike. Soft plastic lizards, tube lures and other small soft plastic lures fished on light spinning gear with 10-pound test line or smaller are used by successful anglers every year on clear lakes to take trophy class bass. With the newer smoother drags on reels and better rods, an educated angler can land much larger bass than the line pound test indicates.
Other than fishing where there are 10-pound plus bass, using good equipment during the major pre-spawn and spawning times, there is still the element of luck.

Answer 3

Most of the big bass (7+) I have caught have been on Zoom 6" plastic lizards. The giant bass I caught in Texas (16.2) was caught on a 3/4 oz Tilapia colored spinnerbait. Many of the large fish were caught on 1/2 jig/craw Brown jig/pumpkin pepper craw. Also several bass over 6 lbs and a few 8+ bass I got were on deep diving cranksbaits. Only a few of the big fish I get are on topwater baits although I did get one nice one over 7 lbs on a Hula Popper and several 5+ on Pop-R's.

If I had to choose only 1 lure to catch a 7+ bass it would definitely be a large single willow leaf 3/4 oz spinnerbait with chartreuse/orange/green/white skirt. I know..crazy choice huh?! But it has been a winner for me on several occasions.
Trophy Bass hunters out in California have had amazing success with large swimbaits.

Good luck professor, and I hope you get some double digit Largemouth.

Answer 4

Dude, I don't care what anybody else tells you there is no magic way that is going to guarantee that you consistently catch 7 lbers. Be realistic.......people fish all of their lives and never catch a 7lber. If you want to catch big bass then the only real way that you are going to have a chance is to go as often as possible. I am not trying to sound like an a$$hole.But be realistic.........if there was any way that anyone could consistently catch fish that big don't you think that you would have heard of it by now. All of these other people that have given you all of these nonsense answers do not catch 7lbers consistently either...........if they did then you would be hearing about them on the BASS tour. So get out on the water and try to learn something every time you go out and maybe just maybe you might catch the fish of a lifetime.


good luck and tight lines

Answer 5

a big largemouth lure............most of ur big 6,7,8 pounders are caught on plastics and jigs.
when fishing these baits u will not catch as many fish as u would on a crankbait,but the fishing is much slower and more deliberate.
for example:u can cast a crank bait over a point and cover 50' of water in 20 seconds and maybe catch 2 fish in 3 casts,or u can flip a jig to heavy cover and take 2 minutes to reel in 15' of line.it is a much slower but better way to catch bigger fish.ur bigger fish did not get big by hanging out on an open point waiting for someone to catch it.he got big by hanging in cover and hiding waiting to ambush his prey.

Answer 6

On the surface, if they're taking topwater lures, a plastic frog rigged weedless and pumped through the weeds is good.

in mid depths, bigger crankbaits and/or live bait works well. Rig a #4 kale type hook with a small baitkeeper hook attached with an inch or two of line to the bottom of the bend of the larger hook. Hook your baitfish through the dorsal area with the small hook and fish under a bobber or with a slip sinker rig. The small bait hook allows your bait to swim more naturally and does less damage to it to keep it alive and active much longer.
On the bottom, a plastic worm or a live crayfish are hard to beat.
Live leeches on a slip sinker/floating jighead rig work well, too, especially if there is a little current to wave the leech about. Good luck!

Answer 7

use a hula popper in one of two patterns either the coach dog for cloudy days or the frog pattern for any day. they cost around $5 each but they are well worth it!!! what you do is cast it out its best by lilly pads and but it works well all over . anyway after you cast it out let it jus sit there for about a minute or so then just jiggle it alittle bit then next time pull it in 3 times and reel up the slack and keep doing that. most of the time the fish will strike right after you move it so watch it carefully. if you want to catch the big one buy this lure!!!!!!

Answer 8

do you know where the world record bass was caught (aside from the controversy)? San Diego county in Southern california. it was caught on a white jig during the spawn, but you can catch bass with anything during the spawn.

San Diego has many local molders for big baits, here is one of the best around. Matt Servant is one of our molders, and his baits have made it to the media of ESPN

Answer 9

I have 2 go to baits I use for bass. Bandit crankbaits, and 4 inch senko's usually pumpkin seed color. They catch bass of all sizes. Use the crankbaits off rock ledges and points and use the senkos rigged weedless through cover. Good luck!

Answer 10

There are two basic ways to do it. You can use big baits, you won't catch near as many fish but the ones you do catch will be quality. And my favorite, use ultralight equipment. I've found that Murphy's law also applies to fishing, when you least expect it you'll hang into a monster.
