What is everyones "go to" bass bait for ponds and lakes. size, color, brand. what size line you fish it on

Answer 1

1st. I will downsize my line to "Berkley Fireline 4/10 , Smoke", put on a Berkley Red Shad,(Motor Oil or pumpkin in "gin-clear" water), Worm "weight-less" with an Owner or Gamakatzu offset hook.

2nd. A simple black "weedless" 1/8-1/4 OZ jig with a Berkley Leech grub-body or plastic swirl-tail Berkley Grub.

If those two things are getting "snubbed" I'm in trouble! (lol)

Answer 2

1-Pumpkin Seed Yum trick worm wacky rigged, fished on 8# Sunline Shooter flourocarbon line, on a Shimano Stradic 2500, attached to a G.Loomis GLX 6'-10" Medium Power rod.

2- a 3/8 - 1/2 oz Blk/Blue jig with either a sapphire blue paca craw or chunk. on 14# line attached to a Team Daiwa Reel on a Powell 7' MH Rod.

3-If those don't work I go with 1/4 or 3/8 oz weight and Texas rig a Berkley 10 power worm Black blue fleck on 14# line attached to a Team Daiwa Reel on a 7' H & H MH rod.

Where I am the fish have all move to the breaks on the river channels so they are DEEP 18 -30 ft.

Answer 3

My best, all time favorite go to confidence bait is a spinnerbait. It could be a 3/8 oz skirted spinner with diamond blades or it could be a 1/4 oz beetle spin.
I prefer chartreuse skirt/body.
I'll fish the 3/8 oz on line up to 14 or even 17lb mono. I would use the beetle spin on 8lb mono on a spinning rig.

Answer 4

Usualyy plastic baits 3-5 in. with a spinning tail will get the bass !

Answer 5

The $1.19 plastic minnows you buy at Walmart on 6 lb test. I'm not sure of the brand, but it kinda has trout coloring, and a spinner. Super cheap, and the bass are aggressive with them!

Answer 6

best colors are, june bug, watermelon seed, watermelon red, watermelen candy. other ways to rig worms would be the wacky rig where you hook the worm straigh through the middle with no weight. good methods for catching bass zoom flukes in the above colors fished on a 4/0 offset owner hook. and senkos rigged texas style with no weight. fish with a deadstick method. also get ya some zoom horny toads fished on the same style of hook. swim it accross vegatation, sticks, reeds on top youll be amazed how deadly they can be.
