I was out fishing today on one of my local retention ponds, using my sebile swimbait. But one thing I noticed is that I caught pretty much all the large bass in these ponds. Caught the same 4 pound lmb 3 times using this lure! I notice that I used to catch around 10-15 bass a day at my favorite lake, now I only catch 1-3, if not 0. The pond is clear so I can see the fish freak out when they see the lure! haha! They know my lure! There is plenty of smaller fish like 1-3 pounds, but are too small for my sebile, there is a smaller version but I don't want to order online, or drive to far away places just for one lure (Can't afford more) that I will eventually lose.

So I was thinking about a small crankbait. I know my local WalMart has plenty of them, but I wanted a reccomedation from one of you guys, (preferably cichlid fiend :grinno:). I'm looking for something around 1-2 inches. can dive about 1-4 deep, and doesn't go over 10 dollars. I did have a bitsy pond minnow, but that perticular lure didn't run true, didn't even have much a wobble. Also, to tell you the truth I never even caught a fish with it, then again I didn't use it very much at all. Anyways, I NEED LURES!!! Thanks in advance.
 
I think you just need to give the pond a break for a while its not good to keep catching the same fish. Give it a week break or so then fish it some more. Small pond bass go nuts for a beatle spin.
 
yeah they are basicly a mini spinner bait. You can catch crappie, bluegill, pike and bass on them.
 
To be honest I don't use crankbaits much but they do work. I just don't have much luck with them. I have seen big bruh catch some fish on it tho.
 
the beatle spin comes in an assortment of shapes, colors, flavors, sizes. they can suit about any need, and are the old stand by. I used them back in the mid 80's and worked well.
I didn't really like crankbaits because of the treblehook. It was a PITA unhooking the fish then hooking myself. But thats just an old mans preference from Nebraska.:screwy:
 
I've never really had any trouble with treble hooks.
Also, a lot of people have catch tons of bass off of cranks here in Florida.
I'll definately try the beatle spin, and see how it works out.

Seems like cranks don't really work out for you guys huh?
Fine with me, how about other lures? Creature baits, worms, jigs, tubes, anything out there that will catch just about any size of bass?
I want to catch fish, period. Big or small.
 
rapala x-rap in the green back color. they tear it up!
 
Well in that case, ill say go to a 10.5" green pumpkinseed u-tail with a 1/4oz bullet weight in front off it and bounce it off the bottom SLOW. If the water is clear that will kill them!!

The buzzy is the ish in 2-5ft of water.

Husky jerk bait for windy, drizzling days.

Poppers, amd top water frogs have bben working pretty good also.

Spinner bait bite has been kinda slow but it will work also,specially once we get closer to fall.

Rubber is the ticket also you just have to know when to do finess style and when to take it the bottom.
 
about anything that would work down there would work up here.
Its just me personally that does not like treble hooks.

reciently i've gotten back into live baits.
