Im sure many of you enjoy catching some hard fighting white bass this time of year. Seems they will hit about anything when its good but what is your favorite lure/color combo for the white bass spawn?
Mine seems to change but as of late I'm loving a chart roadrunner head with a grape sparkle swimming minnow.
I'm partial to a solid chartreuse 1/16oz marabou Roadrunner for the shallows, and a solid white 1/4oz Silver Buddy for trolling or casting deeper water.
... cp :kewl
little mepps (sp) spinner, green/orange. but that was 30 years ago..........
1/8 oz lead head with lake fork boot tail shad or 3" slider in cotton candy or pearl white with chart tail.
Blue and white rogue stickbait.
Arkie jigs 3 in pearl Glow grub on an 1/8 oz arkie jig's double barb jighead!! This bait has been a killer on the whites and hybrids!!
Beetles Spin with white sassy shad. Lipless crank. When they are right they will hit almost anything
old abu-spinner
Rapala SSR-7 & SSR-5 shad rAp
I'm going with white roadrunner head with white twister tail grub. seems like that works best for me more often than not. but then again some days a small rattle trap is king. bleeding shad for clear water, fire tiger for stained.
I like rattle traps so I can use a Baitcast rig. For spinning I like a beetle spin type bait.
Ya know I have a use hair jigs and done pretty well with them. A red head black body and white tail and if ya add a spinner some times you might just catch a wally.
In clear water try a sparsely tied grey buck tail jig with a little flash-a-bu.
slick purple candy #5 flicker shad trolling and toss up between blk/chartruse rage tail grub and the bobby garland strollR in blue ice up the creeks
Flicker Shad silver/Lt. grey and minnow.
Always had best luck with pink or orange head 1/8 oz, either beetle spin or roadrunner, with all white curly tail grub. also rattle trap in crawfish colors around rocks has worked well for me
!/4 oz. Rattle traps for me too. Blue & Silver or Black & Silver.Quote:

Oh to live in Warsaw where you can run to the dam and It doesn't cost $50 worth of gas.
Broke back rapala
1/4 oz. Bleeding shad Rattle traps, chrome/chartreuse spoons or a Little George are some of our favorites.

No problem Travis. Anyone who fishes as much as I do should never complain. My folks used to live at Teal Bend and I could stay anytime I wanted. Now I am stuck with the drive.
i havent done it for a long time but i used to like to rip a white and grey tiny torpedo or a 1/4 grey roostertail used to be the real deal too,
Early, about anything, but mostly a white curl tail grub on whatever 1/8 - 1/4oz head I grab. . In the summer when they're deep, I'll put on a 3-way swivel and about a 3' leader with a DD22 on it and the other one gets about a 5' leader with a flutter spoon thats chrome and anything. Then I just troll over deep valleys. Find a school and tear 'em up sometimes pulling in 2 at a time.
