sneakysnook Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 What are some good starter baits? I've had great luck on the Black Dog shellcracker. Lost the one I had and can't find one anymore. So, looking to try some other lures. Picked up the lunker plunker, huddleston 68, mattlures bluegill , savage gear line thru 6", savage gear real trout swimbait, and optimum baby line thru swimbait. Is there anything else I should look at getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggfeast Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Maybe a glide bait to that list. SWaver or Savage Gear if you're tight on money, otherwise Gancraft or Deps , or roman made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyW Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 .s-waver ,slammer (must have) -hardbaits .Huddleston 68 ,Savage gear -soft plastic I always tell people just starting out with bigger swimbaits buy cheap first to make sure u like it before u spend big money , theres alot more to these expensive swimbaits then just tieing them to a line to catch fish theres a art to master for each to produce big fish more regularly.

SPEEDBEAD Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 May I make a suggestion? You already have baits to cover the water column top to bottom. Take some time and learn the baits you already have, then worry about adding baits that will only serve to dilute your learning. There is nothing worse than just starting and thinking you have to own every damn bait under the sun. Many times, you end up wasting money and your time.
