Favourite/Most Productive Baits
What's up everyone? Just wanted to know what everyone's got to baits are? What do you guys find has been your most productive tackle and techniques?
For me the Cotton Cordell Big O, the LiveTarget Bluegill,the Yo-Zuri Magnum and although I haven't landed anything with it yet the Booyah Poppin' Pad Crasher has generated a ton of strikes for me this year. As for plastic bait the Yum Houdini Shad in Watermelon/Red. I've only manage to catch one fish with a silver Williams' Warbler but it was a 10lbs Pike so I'll throw that in here too.

Re: Favourite/Most Productive Baits
Chucking and burning spinnerbaits is my absolute favorite way to fish. After that it depends on the body of water. Dragging tubes or creature baits deep or dropshotting would be next. In 2017 I'm going to spend more time with a chatterbait or swim jig tied on.

Re: Favourite/Most Productive Baits
My favorite and most productive baits are an assortment of jigs and plastics. They will catch pretty much anything that swims. I will use jigs as light as 1/16oz all the way up to 1/2oz depending on how deep I'm fishing. I will also use tiny plastics 1 inch in length all the way up to 6 inches in length. It all depends on what time of year, what depth, what species I am targeting. Jigs and plastics are tough to beat!

Re: Favourite/Most Productive Baits
I have so many that I love.
Duo Realis Pencil 100
Megabass Ito110
Megabass Deep-x 150
Powerteam Lure Sick Stick
Jackal cross tail shad.
These are pretty much my go to and are more often then not tied on. Like Toobinator, I fish a spinnerbait a lot but it has fallen out of my must haves since I started cranking more and more.

Re: Favourite/Most Productive Baits
As for my favorite, it has to be topwater fishing, been throwing winged lures, and find the bite to be explosive on a slow crawling action.
Most productive, I’m afraid if I shared this on a public forum, I’d be soon counterproductive!

Re: Favourite/Most Productive Baits
I had a hard time putting down a jig or creature bait this year. Also always had a swimbait or chatterbait tied on.

Re: Favourite/Most Productive Baits
My favorite has got to be a swimbait on a weighted hook I always have one of those handy. Love throwing a spinnerbait. Always have a Senko wacky rig setup but I find it boring to fish with that but it is definitely a productive bait.
When hell freezes over, I'll be there icefishing!!!

Re: Favourite/Most Productive Baits
My favourite this year was to use a really heavy Puppet Minnow during the summer (it's normally considered an ice-fishing jig) to explore some of the really deep holes in high-current areas of the Ottawa River. Caught some monster catfish and even lost a rod to... something (probably a sturgeon).
Re: Favourite/Most Productive Baits
Here is my top:
Evergreen Combat TC-60 - My favourite vobbler of all. Works in shallow waters only. Quite heavy - flies very far. No need to play with - just pull. Will give you a 100% strike if there is fish around.
Deps Balisong; O.S.P. Rudra SP; Jackall Magallon; Zip Baits 150F, Zip Baits Orbit 110 SP - best minnows for pike.
Megabass Dog-x - best walker
Daiwa Silver Creek 6g (long) - best spinner.
Keitech, Fox Rage, Sawamura, Bait breath - best plastics

Re: Favourite/Most Productive Baits
I love jigging and my go 2's are
Jig with a Gulp minnow or worm
Mr Champ
Cicada and now the Johnson Thin Fish
Little Cleo and letting it flutter down
Big O in white if in the casting mood for bass and pretty much anything as it works for all fish
Rapala's - Reef Runners - Rebels - Mann's Stretch for the trolling end of it

Re: Favourite/Most Productive Baits
I have a couple of ZMan chatterbaits and they're great. I caught a couple of nice pike the first time I used them and drew a few boat side strikes.toobinator wrote:Chucking and burning spinnerbaits is my absolute favorite way to fish.
