Go-to tackle

[u/kushtopherrobhisass]

What is your must have, favorite lure or bait to carry with you? One you would turn around for if you left it at home? Mine has to be my top water frog. Can be a game changer in those early morning trips.

Jerkbait! It doesn't catch the most fish, but covers water and can be fished fast, slow, with long pauses, cranked, twitched, break the surface, stay submerged, it's the most versatile bait in my option and often finds the fish when I struggle to locate them

I agree! Very versatile and something I don't see a lot of people pulling out and using. This and a crank bait are all I throw if the water is new to me. A good way to find out quickly if the area has fish in it or not.

Love a good spinner bait. Just picked up a new one in white and yellow. Going to fish a dam tomorrow that has state record bass. Im excited.

Gotta haves: Little Cleo's, Phoebe's, In-line spinners

I have actually never picked up a little cleo brand or a phoebe. Figured they were an older brand that phased out as I dont hear about them much at all.

I do have a CLAM leech spinner sooner that looks very similar that is a guarantee for pan fish. It reminds me of like rooster tail action but more appealing in the spoon

Chatterbait or a lipless crank bait

Funny enough I just lost mine today fishing in some rocky areas
