www.amazon.com This is always a hot topic. There are other lures that come close, but I believe over the last 10 years, nothing has caught more fish than the “senko” style worms. Everyone has their personal preference on which is the best, I’ve had great luck with the Yum Dinger. I think the dinger has the best combination of durability, performance, and price.

  1. k but u still didnt say how to choose the right bait, u just said what all baits they are…dumb fuck

  2. Christian7thSF says:

    @reptifreak99 If it has any vegetation on top like lilipads, branches or anything I would recommend a topwater frog, since it is murky I would use a soft plastic worm and if that doesnt work try a small, dark spinnerbait.

  3. Christian7thSF says:

    @Kangkong1996 Bluegill and other fish will eat your nightcrawlers, I highly recommend Soft plastics!

  4. Christian7thSF says:

    @randomvidsbykevin ya that doesnt work

  11. MrHatefullness says:

    @reptifreak99 because you have minnows, the bass may thrive on those so think of some soft plastic flukes, with murkier water, try more natural colours, like browns and greens, when and if the water becomes more translucent try more attractive brights colours and patterns. You can swim, jerk, and jig these flukes to see what works the best, when your jigging them, use a split shot or bullet weight. Make sure to buy tungsten bullet weights and tin split shots, lead is very harmful.

    @777— you can’t texas rig a plastic frog and then fish it topwater…

  13. reptifreak99 says:

    i need to get an idea on a lure i have a semi murky water pond medium sized lots of vegitation 4-5 feet deep sand bottom with large rocks with bass bluegill perch smallmouth and largemouth and minnows what lure would you reccomend

  14. 777Revolutionary says:

    @nerfgun550 “live cut up frogs”. Wouldnt they be dead then? haha try texas riggin a plastic frog and fishin it topwater. White ones work good for me. 

  15. MrFishindude says:

  16. Highwithguns says:

  17. Highwithguns says:

    tits

  18. nerfgun550 says:

  19. footballbeast0023 says:

    @TheMokedoke they do i live in south fl they also love frogs (topwater).

  20. YoungRockStarX says:

    someone help me just the other day i say about a 6 pound bass about the size of 2 1/2 rulers and i kept throwing m rapala out there and i saw it chase it but didnt bite just turnd around and swam away….so i thought id switch to a jerk bait but that didnt work…so i finally tryd a rattle trap that didnt even work PLEASE HELP

  21. TheMokedoke says:

    I live in South Florida, and I wacky rig my Zoom Trick Worms. The bass love them!!!

  22. ooTheWhooo says:

    I tend to use a spinner bait or a gary yamamato worm with and o ring on it
    i catch a lot of fish with that but do think a popper is a good lure?

  23. @TheSoccerguy58 it depends where your fishing, if your in a pocket using plastic use a medium weight so it has a slowfall they will go for that but if you are in shallow throw up a really light one if none o it will just sit below the water

  24. FishingWestVirginia says:

    Like this if he deserves a partnership

  25. @TheSoccerguy58 no you dont…you can use a senko and fish it “dead stick” or brush hog….but having the weight helps alot..specially in river water…you dont need a huge weight except in certain situations…keep it simple…good luck

  26. @junglemighty3 try a lipless crank bait with rattles in a gold black color

  27. @C0LEKING What? yamamoto senkos rock. Most colors of any soft baits out there.

    Their only down-point? The price.. expensive. (though to be fair, the best soft baits you’ll ever use are your own hand-pours.)

  28. TheLureTour says:

    @junglemighty3 You might try a lipless crank like the red eye shad, a spinnerbait with a lot of vibration, or maybe even a topwater popper to get the bass to take a look. I would look to areas where they can hide. What kind of cover do they have? Try black, chartreuse, or a combination of the two.

  29. junglemighty3 says:

    Hey TheLureTour, your video was great but i have a question. I fish in a pretty murkey lake for bass all the time. And dont get me wrong i catch em’ there but the only thing i can catch them on is soft plastics. And thats pretty fun but i want to try other methods such as cranks and spinners but they just dont bite. Do you have ANY recomendation towards what color how to fish and where to fish, that would help alot. Thanks. :)

  30. fingerboardsrule says:

    @jnmars1 it is in fact a way to put a plastic worm on a hook. It’s called a wacky rig, look it up. It adds great action to a worm like the yum dinger or a senko.

  31. Yamamoto SUKS!!! Their brand is horrible

  32. that is not how u put a worm or a plastic bait on corretly

  33. BxBaseball says:

    OMG dude…you are so dead on with these. I used these in Lake George a few years ago and caught a lot of bass. I’m going back this weekend with bags of these.

  34. trillninja11 says:

    how the fuck you sposs to caght a fish like dat

  35. SLABASSFISHING says:

    @hondarider9494 Booyah and Strike King have always worked, but Humdingers work pretty good also

  36. hondarider9494 says:

    @TheLureTour Ohhh. Ok it means there are two blades on the spinnerbait. But ill hafta ask what the willow leaf thing is all about. Thanx. But what brand would you suggest? Because I’m a guy that likes the expensive stuff.

  37. TheLureTour says:

    @hondarider9494 The type of blade on the spinnerbait. Ask a salesman at the store to show you, and they should be able to help you out.

  38. hondarider9494 says:

    @TheLureTour Lol whats a double willow leaf?

  39. TheLureTour says:

    @hondarider9494 I have some of the more expensive spinnerbaits, and they don’t catch any more fish than the generic ones. Get the cheapest double willow leaf chartreuse spinnerbait that the store has (get a couple if you have pike in your area) and hit the weedbeds.
    If you’re getting hits but not connecting, add a trailer hook, or cast back to the same spot with a Yum Dinger and they’ll eat that.

  40. hondarider9494 says:

    hey can someone give me their best bass crankbait / spinner lure that mostly always works? Im having trouble finding one that works. Thanx

  41. CODxSNIPINGxBEAST says:

    @ps3265 that is where i buy mine and these are the best i have ever used when it comes to worms…. i caught a 4lb bass on it right off the bat, i strongly recommend them!!!

  42. reptifreak99 says:

    @ps3265 yes

  43. xiongkou559 says:

    That is a really good beginner bait. I highly recommend it.

  44. TheLureTour says:

    @MrKushKidd  They should. Good luck!

  45. @MrXglow Alrighty .. Thanks

  46. @ps3265 me and my brother bought it at our local walmart
    

  47. @TheLureTour Ohh Ok Thanks..

  48. TheLureTour says:

    @ps3265 You should be able to find them there if they have a decent fishing department.

  49. Can You Buy The Worms And Hooks At Walmart?
