Im curious of everyones favorite power fishing lures, What keeps you in the game, what do you use when things get tough to pull your limit in before weigh in!. I would ask your finnesse bait but im pretty sure senkos would come up in 95% of the posts!.
Mine as of right now would have to be a Bandit crankbait blue back chartetruse bottom, with a red permanent marker in areas where bait fish may bleed if injured or just natural areas like the tail or gills ect. though it didnt do what i needed for my tourney im curious to hear about everyone elses.
Spinnerbait & lipless cranks(early & late) are the two power techniques I rely on most, with chatterbaits coming in third. Colors for spinnerbait/chatter I prefer are chart/white, firetiger, & bluegill depending on conditions. Lipless I’ll go with bluegill, perch, baby bass, chrome/black back, & firetiger.
I havent powerfished a ton lately. The majority of my fish that I have caught this year have been on plastics and jigs. When I am powerfishing my lure of choice is either a chatterbait or a soft plastic jerkbait with a crankbait also being one.
It would have to be lipless cranks/ crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and a swin jig from time to time. Haven’t done much power fishing this year either. I’ve been hooked on topwater fishing and just can’t stop. it’s so much fun.
A spinner bait is one of my favorite power fishing lures for sure. Spinnerbaits cover a ton of water. They can be fished tight to cover, and can cover a lot of different depths in the water column. Fishing a spinnerbait is a great way to get reaction bite if the conditions are right.
Spinnerbaits and crankbaits are definatly my go to baits for power fishing. Also I should include a t rigged beaver bait worked with a pegged 3/8oz tungten weight. All three of those baits work very wel for me and I can cover a lot of ground quickly with them. I’ve been working lipless cranks for years and I never have much luck with them. Not sure why. But I know that for many anglers, they are a dynamite way of covering water fast with good results. Just wish I was one of those folks.
topwater in morning then spinnerbait on the banks and crankbaits off shore i only do this on new body’s of water to find fish when the bites tough i go to a shaky head the best fish producer imo
Jerkbaits if I know where they are ar atleast am fishing structures, Rattle-trap when I don’t have a clue. Firetiger and black/silver are about all I throw depending on clarity.
