I was going to vote for a jig, but it's not there. [] Not to mention topwater baits... or even spinnerbaits. BTW... my vote is a jig.

[signature] Re: [stripermagnet] favorite bass baits and lures - michfishgod - 04-27-2011 [indent]missed one live blue gills nothing get a bass here better then hooking a gill and throwing it back out. that and yozuri crystal minnows in black and silver and rat- L - traps in black and silver. the reason for the black and silver is they look like the minnows we got in the lakes up here. [/indent] [signature] Re: [daffy] favorite bass baits and lures - stripermagnet - 05-01-2011 What color rat l traps?And how deep should i fish rat~l~traps.What color top waters? [signature] Re: [stripermagnet] favorite bass baits and lures - daffy - 05-02-2011 Rat-l-trap Rainbow Trout, Bleeding Shad, Bleeding Craw Topwater Black With Glitter, Perch, Frog Rat-l-traps - Sink but don't dive... Rip them right over the top af the weeds... [signature] Re: [daffy] favorite bass baits and lures - bigpikeguy - 05-02-2011 Rat-l-traps definitely dive. Unless you are confusing it with something else. [signature] Re: [bigpikeguy] favorite bass baits and lures - daffy - 05-02-2011 That is why a Rat-L-Trap is called a lipless crankbait, used for cranking skinny water over weeds rocks, wood, or to get fish near the surface... Might sink a little as you are cranking it, but a Rat-L-Trap does not dive. A sink is not a dive... No confusion here... [signature] Re: [daffy] favorite bass baits and lures - michfishgod - 05-02-2011 sorry to bring this up daffy. they do now make a lipped rat-l-trap the one i got is a non lipped just like daffy said. as for when and ware to fish fish them i like off deep water points were the deep water meets the shallows and come out to a point. that and structure like docks boat houses.weed lines do not fish a crank bait in the weed but on the edge of them some time fish come shooting out of those weeds after baits. [signature] Re: [daffy] favorite bass baits and lures - bigpikeguy - 05-03-2011 I don't want to argue with you but I use rat-l-traps all the time for bass pike and musky. They all dive. Even the floating traps dive down to 3 feet. If you don't believe me go to your local tackle shop and look. All crank baits dive, weather they float sink or suspend. When you begin to reel in a trap it forces water over the nose of the bait pushing it downward just like the lip on a regular crank. The only difference with a trap is that to get it to go deeper you up the weight instead of the size of the lip like on a regular crank. If i am fishing a weed bed that is in 10' of water i will count down my trap to about 7' then start my retrieve and i can feel the trap tapping the tops of the weeds. How do i gain that other 3' of water???? The trap dives. I don't really know how else to show you this than to bring you out on my boat and show you first hand. [signature] Re: [michfishgod] favorite bass baits and lures - daffy - 05-03-2011 I have a lipped rat-l-trap or what I thought was a rat-l-trap, will have to look... I have wasted about two hours looking for a - Lipped Rat-L-Trap - Diving Rat-L-Trap - Diving Lippless bait - I will leave this entirely alone... Weather or not a Rat-L-Trap dives will I guess go down with the how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop... All this debate will not change the fact that the Rat-L-Trap is what it is, one of America's most popular bass plugs... I realize that that last sentence will spark a whole new debate "A Rat-L-Trap is not a bass plug it IS a bla bla bla..." Heheh Life is good aint it!!!
