on 3/23/2007 What I have done before has been very successful. I just use any color of of tube and any color of jig and rig the jig wit the tube and tip it with a worm or a small minnow. good luck!!!!!

on 8/8/2006 In the spring, when the bass are spawning, catch a little bluegill and use it as bait. Put a treble hook in its lower back before the end of the fin. Throw it out in the water. The splashing of the the little fish will attract the bass. I caught a 22 inch bass doing this.

on 7/18/2006 I have had most of my luck by the shoreline. I used and 6 inch Burkley work and caught a 6 and a 5 pounder. Just throw it in and as you reel it in jig it like a jig to get a good action! Hope this helps.

on 6/30/2006 In the summertime, use a Senko worm (4 inches). I have caught many bass on this bait. I prefer to match the color of the water and weeds. Bass love this bait. Happy fishing everyone.
