1.) So, what would you prefer to use for largemouth bass?
Plastic worms are the way to go. Load up on ‘em, 3 or 4 bags full. Grape or Watermelon seed are my favorite colors. For brand names, Zoom are a good maker of soft-plastics. Other than that, they are hundreds of others, plastic lizards, top-water frogs, poppers, crankbaits, stick baits, suspending baits, buzzbaits, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, in-line spinners, everything. After getting the worms, i would pick up some crankbaits, poppers, spinnerbaits and top-water frogs. You can get that at all at a cheap price. Check out basspro, cabelas, k-mart or wal-mart.
But, if you got any more Q’s, just email me and I’ll be glad to help.
I prefer buzz baits for spring and summer popper are good and so are plastic worms they work good i never had much luck with crank baits ,but the frogs are good jigs are good to for year round you should get the black and blue jig and you should maybe get a couple spinner baits if you want a good deal i would go on e bay and type in fishing plano you can get 60 lures foe 100 dollars if you think about it most of their stuff in 3or 4 dollars or more and they might give you a reel with it or line http://cgi.ebay.com/BIG-PLANO-Storm-Bagley-Rebel-Heddon-Creek-Chub-Rapala_W0QQitemZ110342878347QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item110342878347&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 |301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50 http://cgi.ebay.com/Plano-6300-tackle-box-w-repalas-cisco-kids-heddon_W0QQitemZ110342869171QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item110342869171&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50

4″ – 6″ Plastic Worms or Jigs work well for me.
Crankbaits in the spring and summer are my favorites to use at that time of year, as well as buzz and spinner baits.
wackey worms
most of my bass are caught on plastic worms. get an assortment of sizes from 4 to 8″.
use lighter colors on sunny days and clear water with darker colors in darker or stained water. use black at night, even as large as 10″ with a big hook.
a bit of info:
the most popular rig is “texas style” where you slide a worm weight up the line, tie on a worm hook and put on your plastic worm usually burying the point of the hook back into the worm making the rig weedless.
also popular is the “carolina” rig which usually uses a heavier weight and a leader from a swivel to the hook anywhere from 2 to 6 feet long, usually 24″.
then there is the “dropshot” rig where you tie the hook on with a palomar knot leaving about a 24″ tag end which you run back thru the hook eye to keep the point riding up. the weight is then attached to the very end of the line. either a swivel sinker or a special dropshot sinker. l personally tie an overhand knot at the end and put on enough split shot to give me casting weight.
there is what is called “wacky” style where you hook the worm in the middle or somewhere else other than the head and fish it either with or without a weight.
“shaking” involves the use of a special flat jig head where you cast out and jiggle the rod tip and nothing else. jiggle, jiggle, rest, jiggle, rest, reel in a few inches and start again. you can do it with any of the previous rigs. just stand there for 10 minutes jiggling that rod tip. if you have to wait longer than that, go somewhere else.
these are the main ways of rigging soft plastic baits. just get the correct size worm hooks to match the size plastic you are using
