Bone color Zara Spook.
I like using a spook and a whopper plopper. For me, it’s the water conditions that determine which one I pick up. I’ll throw a Zara Spook for calmer water and I’ll throw a whopper plopper if there’s a some ripple. Both have caught some big bass for me and work very well.
What is the importance of throwing red lures this time of year? There has been a lot of hype about red baits this week across social media and other internet sites.
I used to have the same problem with Fluoro. I believe the issue was mostly the knot I used to tie. Now I use Sunline Shooter and tie a type of double knot taught by Gerald Swindle. I haven’t had a break off since I made the switch.
23 years ago I caught a 9lb bass pond fishin. I was using an Ugly Stick rod paired with a Zebco 33 with 15lb mono. I can’t remember the brand of worm but it was a brown and orange ribbon tail and I was throwing it weightless. When I start thinking if my equipment is adequate, I have to remind myself I used to catch big bass as a kid with an Ugly Stick and a Zebco.
