Nolan Aker Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Don't buy lures unless you know exactly when or where you'll use them. It'll save you some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelpMePickABobber Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Don't be the idiot throwing a $200+ lure on a $80 bass pro shops flipping stick and black max. Spend some money a good setup. You won't regret it. ajaustin44, BrhodesBassin, danthefisherman and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppabass Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I heard the pressure in caly is getting intense. Subscribe to bass west magazine. They used to promote big baits then got more and more finesse. They probably have articles on nymph fishing by now. Lol .....but I would research forage base and buy baits that match it.

Top Ramen Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 The single most common mistake noobs make is buying too many different kinds of baits. Get a few proven baits and stick with them for at least six months. Learn how to use each of them, what you like and don't like about them and THEN expand your collection. Get one or two in each major category:a few proven soft baits (Hudds or Rising Sons)a proven wake bait (Wake Jr, Baby Wake, Slammer or rat) a jointed bait (any Freestyle or a Triple Trout) a good glide bait (Shine Glide or S-waver) The classic baits are classics for a simple reason: they work. Learn how, when and where to use them and you will build a foundation that will serve you throughout your swimbaiting experience.Good Luck!
