favorite fishing bait all time.

Uploaded on April 26, 2009

Whether you were part of the digging a worm up and putting it on a hook at the local pond; or using the most advanced technological way to fool a fish with a scent giving crank baits we all have a favorite lure. What's yours?

For trout, in small streams i love dropping a salmon egg in an eddy and letting it swirl around. Catch many trout this way. And i don't feel like i'm bait fishing because my line is always moving, drifting, etc.

Loved the redworm for years. But they're hard to come by here in the northwest, unless you raise your own. Since I've moved here though I've discovered white shoepeg corn covered with shrimp oil to work quite well.

Rapala has my vote, if I had to narrow it down to one I would have to go with the orginal floater due to its versatility.

In-line spinners for fake bait, and nightcrawlers or crawdads for live bait.

Fresh cut skip jack for catfish and catalpa worms. Ive caught more bass on small lures,1/8uonce cotton cordell rattletrap type baits. Plastic worm a 4" renagade tequila sunrise curly tail worm with as little weight as possible. Rainbow trout power bait. Hadnt gotten into brown trout but all info says big crawlers or small crank baits.

trout magnets are my favorite. I use them for crappie, bream, and trout. they are the most effective lure on the market today that can catch all three of these types of fish on a regular basis. They are cheap and they come in all sorts of great colors. check out their website www.troutmagnet.com

I'm partial to Zara Spooks and buzzbaits. It is really hard to have just one favorite in such a multi-faceted sport. My philosophy is any fish/any time/any way but topwater for bass and northerns is probably my favorite.

I like the "mimic Minnow" for bass and crappie, for catfish I like bloodbait, not the dough bait kind but my dads homeaid bait made from real beef blood fresh form the locker.
