Lure Recomendations!!

[Padawan]

If you had 200 bucks to spend on lures which one would you get for striped bass. I know there are Danny's, bombers, sluggos, eels ronz's , minnows. which one would you get?

There is to many to choose from as i am a beginner in this field.. I just bought my first shimano waxwing last week. List which ones would u get in particular.

[tattoobob]

I would get a couple of Needles, and it all depends where and what type of fishing you plan on doing

[Padawan]

Jigs,poppers, ETC?...

[redlite]

Sebile floating stick shad.

Cant find what you are saying online, can i get a link?

Thanks

[numbskull]

$200 isn't going to last long if you pay a premium for stuff like waxwings or Sebiles.

Where you planning to fish? What size rod? Night or day? What are you fishing for?

Your such a plugger! I never thought I'd see a post with you promoting a plug. Lol. I just hope you bought 2 just in case you lose that one. They are great!!!! If you can reach the fish with it they WILL eat it.

[niko]

[Padawan]

Niko your to funny... Im trying to adapt to not using live bait..

[blondterror]

If you intend to fish the canal... great values at M&D's in wareham... The canal special made and sold my Mike is hard to beat at whatever he sells it for ~ $18
Get it in Green mackeral color


Where do you plan to fish most of the time???

[Padawan]

off a boat... and somtimes in the river

Forget dumping $200 on Cadillac lures if you're new. The prettiest custom plugs won't catch crap if you can't get a sniff on stuff more reasonably priced and break-offs due to newbie mistakes (which we all still make) will be more frequent and far more expense.

For the boat:
Buy a few Cotton Cordell Pencil Poppers, some Rapala X-Raps in olive and mackerel patterns of a couple difference sizes, a package of 3/4oz Bill Hurley Sandeels, 1oz Crippled Herring and a couple 1.5oz white spro jigs.

For the canal:
All of the above, plus a canal special, 3oz lead heads with 9" Sluggos and a couple 3oz Crippled Herring tins.

$100 or so and you're good to go for just about any situation. Most bang for your buck.

Best post of the entire thread. Do what Johnny said!

[The Dad Fisherman]

pick up a black and an Olive Mambo Minnow, A Bone Redfin, A White 5" Smack-it Popper, a couple of pencil poppers in White and/or Yellow, a Black Mag Darter, a White/Yellow Spook (Bigfish/Afterhours make good ones), a Pack of Storm Shads in pearl, a pack of 9" Black Sluggos, a couple of Point Jude tins, and some time on the water.

Seriously, start with these and play with them to see what works for you. You should be all set for awhile with these and none of them will break the bank on you. Spend more time learning Tides, Wind, Weather Conditions, and the way they affect the areas you fish

and as an FYI, it ain't the lure that catches the fish....its the Fisherman.

The puppy is learning, and he is becoming a jaded cynic along with it.

How many X-raps did you loose that night we went out????

Go to a local shop and ask for advice on stuff you'll need. Tell them the type of fishing youll be doing and they should set you up. While your shopping pick their brain for advice, techniques ect. Not only will get the stuff you need you might learn some stuff in the process.
