Show off your fish

Since we're having a buzzbait clinic, what do you guys think about soft plastic trailers for them? I've been using a paddle tail swimbait but I have to reel pretty fast to keep it buzzing and I have already missed a short strike.

 

I do short bursts

 

I personally don’t throw a trailer on mine because I bend the blade a little towards the wire so the blade makes a clacking noise and if they don’t hit it like that I’ll bend it away for a more high pitched sound. When I rarely throw a trailer, I’ll bite half of a keitech swimbait off and just thread it on there. I tend to let the fish tell me what they want. I deflect and throw my buzzbait in some nasty stuff if I can. I ain’t scared of loosing it lolol

 

Thanks man, I'm still a new bass angler so I appreciate the tips. Trying to up my PB from about 3 lbs this year lol

 

Texas rig a senko worm

 

I also am trailer free on a buzzbait, and I also will throw them into some heavy shit

 

Yessir, anytime. Trial and error. In all honesty, I’ll argue that you may catch your PB on a buzzbait. Big fish love buzzbaits.

 

Yep, I've caught them that way. I tend to try my power baits out until I've decided they're not working then switch to t rigged worm or drop shot worm. As for attracting large bass, I've got a big assortment of jigs I'm gonna be trying this spring which I'm hoping will bring me some success.

 

Thanks!

 

White seemsto be popular on jigs

 

I Fish a jig year around. If I don’t have a jig on, I’m not fishing lol

 

Watermelon seed with same chunk or black and blue is all I throw. End of fall/spring our crawdads start to molt and change to a brown with some red on them.

 

Hate to say it but your Musky is a Northern Pike. Musky's have red fins like the one I posted.

 

Looks like a tiger musky, so half and half.
