My review of some Monster fish catching baits

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hey i'm glad your here. Thanks for spending the time and money analyzing all of these different lures. If you get a minute I would love it if you could recommend a top five list for me. I fish Marsh Creek in southeast Pa, it's out of season for me now since I fish from shore, but in my down time I can search out your baits and pick them up. Either way thanks again for your studies.
 
Absolutely, what types of fish do you fish for? My guess would be bass? Without know the depth or water conditions - from shore - where pressure and noise is bound to be greatest, i'd suggest the following - a mix of generally small lures, with the MaxRap being the largest:

1. Rapala MaxRap - for the distance you can get on the cast
2. Lipless Crankbait - Cotton Cordell, Yo-Zuri, Diawa etc. - one small for spring, and one larger for summer/fall in shad and crawdad.
3. Small Spinnerbait for pressured fish (Booyah or Mini King)
4. Small stick style topwater for pressured fish (Tiny Torpedo, Zara etc.)
5. SPRO Little John Crankbait (DD if its deep water) - color choice depends on forage - match the hatch.
 
Thanks very much my friend. I will search these out and give them a go. By the way, my shore is a gradual slope that extends far beyond my casting abilities. The lake is huge and deep water is far away but there seems to be plenty of good shore fishing either way. I usually fish for whatever bites, but since I go out late at night I have used a lot of black jitterbugs and similar cranks, plus the occasional putrid homemade catfish bait. Unfortunately during the winter months mostly all the fish are relaxing out in the deep water, but now I can use my down time preparing to greet them properly this spring. Thanks again for your help, now I am even more excited about getting back out.
 
I do alot of bass fishin, those max raps look sweet, do they come in smaller sizes, I love the x rap 6s, currently the xrap 6, original f-5/3, and any small soft plastic are my go to baits
