New Tricks?

[Little Green Fish]

Guys been wondering about this for as long as I care to remember.  How many of you guys/girls try something "off the wall" when you go fishing?  I know about the times that the trusted stuff, rigs and tricks don't work and you end up rigging the sexually frustrated purple frog with the red and blue polka dots to a 3oz teardrop weight, dipped in red almond and pitched into the thickest grass patch you can find, but do you's try strnge and new things, rigging, lures and techniques when the usual works or not?

I have tried rigging certain lures the wrong way round i.e. Yamamoto Kreatures through the skirt first, grubs with the tails down/up, rigging the hook to come out further towards the back than normal etc. all these sometimes had the desired effect, up the catch rate that is.

Would be GR8 2 C others ideas.

You'll be glad to know that I've started trying them, but sadly no fish on them yet, caught one many many moons ago and never ever since on a senko.......

All i know is if fish dont bite on original senkos, then there aint fish... Yamamoto senkos do catch alot of fish...

Thats what everybody keeps telling me, to the point that I started trying them, so now I'm starting to think, the problem is with my technique, as I get plenty of all sizes on other baits Grubs and Kreatures being my favorites but nothing on senko's so I must be doing something wrong....

Whilst on the topic of strange (unusual baits/lures), saw the last Bassmaster Elite series that was held in Carolina and what was interesting is that most of the 12 finalist for the last day had all used segmented swimbaits of one or other sort and they were hammering lunkers, question is how many of you's had success on these swimbaits plastic (soft) and the hard ones alike? and just for interest sake what size did you find most productive?

Nope i didnt forget strike king... Also a great fish catching senko as u showed me already how deadly they are, just a pitty they dont make them in 4".

And if you break an inch of a 5" senko?

Also try the Yum forked dingers, they are killer!

@LGF - those swimbaits were the Sebile Magic Swimmers.

Got 2 of them and have yet to catch a fish on one - not through a lack of trying I might add.

I prefer the Yum Money Minnows - have caught a couple on them in the natural shad colour.

Getting back to the topic of strange things - I have on occasion rigged flukes from the tail end first.  This works quite nicely if you add a nail to the nose......!!!
