I usually tie on 7 dif lures before I hit the water and try them all, usually powerfishing and then settle down to the flipping game, however I seem to change crankbaits more than plastics...I would say the most technique I change if ones not working is the topwater, I'll go from buzzbait to popR, to spook and others depending on the mood of the fish..on spinnerbaits, all I have to do is read the water and I know what to use, if all else fails I'll go with a worm..
I noticed last year the senko and tiki sticks produced for me all year, and this year I haven't even gone through a dozen packs yet...this spring I used the waveworm (tiki) lizard, and had great success...all winter long they sold them at walmart for a buck a pack, so I wiped them out of stock about every month rofl

19 times in 5 hours? thats almost 4 per hour.......once every 15 minutes. Course on a bass boat you're able to cover more water. I'd say on a typical 5 hour trip for me would be anywhere from 2-8 lures, just depends how good the bite is. Although keep in mind, I'm in a small jon boat with only a paddle (can't cover much water), therefore have to fish my areas a little more thorough.

I'm about to go camping (and just got stung by 2 wasps). Will be on the water this evening, most of the night, and some of the morning. I'll TRY to keep track of my changes.

I change alot too, I have one of all my basic baits on each rod, and whichever one works, I experiment with size and color, untill I find exactly what the fish want.

Zook, when you caught a fish on a bait how soon after did you change?

[Wishing2BFishing]

Zooker, I can't help myself and must also ask "what is a Stien"?

You might as well ask a fish what a Stein is. You will come closer to getting the answer out of that fish than Zooker.

He will however tell you that it is a lure, but that is all you will get out of him.

[Rodman_Rob]

the stien is a creation of zookers. he took the whiz bang, helicopter lure, and kicktail lure and combined pieces of all 3 to form the greatest lure bass have ever seen. heck even I've been known to bite on a stien.

Why do you think I'm playing so hard rotflmao

Lizards/Stein LOL

[WTL]

Hey Zook, if Lizards already know what the stein looks like, why not send the stein to the 2nd biggest bass weighed in?

[zooker]

that would also be lizard brother love he has the top 3 weights by the way..

zooker

[WTL]

Ahhh...blast it....

I may have to go over to Wilson and pick up a smallie or two then....

BTW, I would like to see all the weights tallied up with information like the lure used, lake, ect. It would be an interesting list.

[zooker]

pnj is leading the smallie catagory with a 2+ pounder -can't remeber excatly-

I'm fishing one of our best lakes here in California, next weekend. I be sure and bring the camera and a tailors tape. I'd love to win that Stein. Can I get an amen.

[Rodman_Rob]

the Stien sucks as much as Power Pro, I've seen pics and it ain't pretty, but I hear it catches fish.
