bigpoppabass Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 that may be a killer night bait! i need to try it I have a luv hate relationship with the bait. They work great but finishes don't hold up....they r like ur fav rooster tail for Hatchery trout fishing, you basically have to replace em once a year.

Hail Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Growing up in central Wisconsin I had numerous bass catches day and night on the mouldeys hawg wobbler as mentioned earlier. I still have a black one I use for night fishing here and do pretty good with it. Don't forget about the magnum musky sized jitterbugs too. We had lots of accidental bass catches with those also. bigpoppabass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle1387 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Gonna dredge this topic up as I've started watching today's anglers musky vids quite a bit. Anyone try tossing a flap tail for bass? The bait looks dumb as hell but seems to just get those musky fired up 168 Rookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, that's gotta be one of the dumbest-looking lures I've seen. Kyle1387 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willlliw Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) I mean, I guess you should never completely count out a lure, but if bass eat spinner baits and senkos, i'm sure one would eat this in the right mood, right?

I mean it makes sense. Same idea as a crawler. Slow, super loud movement just not sure if I wanna drop 60 on one willlliw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, this was before I understood what the whole swimbait thing was about. I know this is an old statement, but I'm new here and curious about this. Can anyone explain?

bigpoppabass Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 The one bait that was promoted here at some point for bass was the beaver lure. It is basically a jig with a nice hair ball attached. Owner patented it so I figured he was onto something. I threw it once and didn't see the plastic tail kicking very much. I didn't have much confidence in the action but I will keep trying.
