[asianwannabeamerican]

If I only had $15-30 to spend, what lures or soft baits would you guys suggest for purchase? I'm going for mostly bass and panfish. Anything that can catch multiple species actually. Any help?

[AKwakIsAwsome]

u can buy in line spinners, but bass/panfish is kinda hard too do that. panfish and bass like different things, you can catch panfish on an ultrlight combo casting out a tiny jig grub, bouncing it on to ground, and for bss there r multiple things you can buy. assuming your a beginner, try yamamoto senkos(wacky or texas rigged)

[specializedp1rider76]

for panfish get worms any kind of worms wor for bluegill(real works) you kill it all day for bass you will want a pack of zoom baby brush hogs in a dark green color rigged with 1/0 or 2/0 gamakatsu wide gap hook get one shallowdiving rapala dt series lure and then any crankbaits crankbaits always work also get and zoom stuff tubes work good there worms are too dont get berkeley powerbait the gulp works tho umm platic worms are really good

[whitetailbasslayer]

tubes are the best bait by far for me when i smallmouth and large mouth fishing in the north . use in 50-70 degree water and rig it weightless and use it like a jerkbaith over weeds

[DarkestNight2084]

Tubes are far and away my favorite lure on smallies. I've also had nice success on 5" watermelon flake senkos. I live in PA and have caught some nice smallies on these on the Susquehanna River. Nice fish!

[roadrage902100]

hey can u help me. wat is good 4 fishing on lake erie. wat other lures do u use to catch bass and other fish?

[idaman1111]

Hi. My name is Justyn Ferguson and my dad is professional bass fisherman Art Ferguson. Tubes are probably our number one bait we use on lake erie, but when the conditions are right, you can catch bass on a spinnerbait or a jerkbait. If you have a GPS, what you want to look for is offshore humps (ex. your in 14 feet and it comes up to 12 than goes back to 14) and usually you can catch em on a tube. If its cloudy or windy, try ripping a spinnerbait in a little shallower water to trigger a strike.

biggerbass11, you need to get some info before you start talkin shit. It's a pflueger PRESIDENT not a presidential (ya dumb shit) and also learn how to spell pflueger. Also what reel brand you buy doesn't have a bearing on how you fish a bait. I bet you fish a spincast rod dont you biggerbass11.

[biggerbass11]

i know i didn't spell phlueger correctly but i never could spell and i know how to fish them ... i have 2. i have fished a spincast rod all my life

[biggerbass11]

dude tighten your drag and if that is a phluger presidential you are not fishing the tube right sorry but yeah.

[redsbleeding2003]

what kind of bait are you using?

[itshimkevinkim]

it says tubebaiting =/ so that means its a soft plastic tube lure =]

[sindreforfaen]

why are u holing it so high when u pull it in ?

[AZfishrman01]

You really should tighten your drag.

[mikelegary]

yea i agree with that ifind he has drag issues in most of his vids, with the drag that loose u might as well not even bother reeling in

[fishingwithrod]

Light line, light rod, so the drag is set looser than what we would normally set it. :)

[AZfishrman01]

Yeah thats a given. Good video. Did you have any problems with degassing the fish, because usually when your pulling fish from that deep they tend to bloat. I saw that you released pretty quickly so I guess it wasnt a major hindrance.

[fishingwithrod]

Bloating has never been a problem when we bass fish at this lake. When we fish the saltwater for rockfish species, expansion of the air bladder does become a problem at times. In that case, we bring the fish up very slowly to avoid it.

[mikelegary]

i tube bait quite often, and the salted tubes i find get great hits, im a big fan of the dark green with black speckles, the brighter ones i didnt get a single hit on, keep up the vids i really enjoy them, but could u make some a lil longer?

[fishingwithrod]

Thanks, salted tubes are great and yes darker colours seem to work better. The reason our videos are 2 minutes or less is that these are featured clips on our website. We keep long (5 to 10 min.) video clips/full version in the subscribers section of our website.
