Now, let’s get on with it! First, you want to make sure you have the proper equipment to use with some of these baits such as rods (the right size, action, and
strength), reels (the right speed and style), line, weights, colors, Etc. I personally use a stronger line for most of my bass fishing, even in ultra clear water situations. Many of my former students have learned real quick that a 17lb. test clear transparent mono line will catch just as many bass in clear water as a 6 or 8lb. test will. With the right equipment I will use 14lb. test clear transparent mono line (the smallest pound test line I will use for bass fishing) for my cranking rod, 17lb. test clear transparent mono line for just about everything else except for 20 and 25lb. test which I use for my Jig & Pig combos, Carolina Rigs, and some Texas Rigged baits.
Now, here are some of my favorite TOP-WATER "Big Bass" baits that I strongly recommend to try.
1. A "full size" Zara Spook
2. A Buzz Bait
3. A "Soft" jerk bait
4. A Torpedo (Prop-Bait)
5. A large 6" Gitzit (or tube bait)
These baits have caught more larger bass for me and my students and charter clients than most top water baits on todays market.
These other baits would be SUB-SURFACE "Big Bass" baits that I would use should be worked under the waters surface:
1. A Jig & Pig combo (a jig can be used with several different types of trailers) my personal favorite trailers would be either a plastic pork chunk or a 4" twin tailed Hula Grub.
2. A Carolina Rig (rigging this rig properly is just as important as what type of bait you would use with it.) My 2 favorite baits I usually use with this rig would be a 6 inch Lizard and a 4" Gitzit (or tube bait)
3. A Texas Rigged twin tailed Hula Grub or a 4" plastic Crawl.
