I just picked up fishing at the new year so lots to learn on my behalf…especially when you’re not catching a thing. (The bass are just not present or not interested). My brother’s caught a couple on one of those articulated swim baits though around here. ---

I have always been a jerk bait fisherman. I love fishing other styles and techniques but if I need to rip a lip on a rough day I’m going to tie on an ito vision 110 or variant there of. Just recently picked up this new stick just for ripping some jerk baits. ![20210509_163916](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/5/8/d583d3d85c0d34fb3dad788fc64b485cc9c4623a.jpeg) Side note, if you want to get into jerk baits you totally don’t have to spend megabass prices, there are a ton of decent jerkbaits out there. Oh, or just learn to fish a Texas rig. My fishing buddy throws a Texas rig 90 percent of the time and has no issues filling a live well, just pick the plastic to match the water conditons/season. ---

Hell Yeah… what a high-high flier you got! But the Texas rig has always been a go to bait especially for bass!! Here in Illinios I run into lakes , ponds, fishing holes, & of course the Illinios river!? I find mostly catfish in river and bass, bluegill , croupy are so much fun! Just that I use a broken Zebco… old pole… but new string & rig/bait! ---

Tried a new river I’ve not fished before, it was moving pretty good. Saw 3 smallmouth that swam by pretty quick. Didn’t have a lot of time, ran out a bit to scout it while the kids were sleeping. Then scooted home when my wife called and said they were up. Will be going back here though, it looked promising. ---

Sounds promising! Never chased smallies before, although there is apparently a good river for those not too far away - but in a different state, so… I’ve yet to pony up for the nonresident license so I can try for them. All largemouth here previously. ---

I don’t have great smallies in my immediate area, mostly largies and if I am on the larger creeks I can snag some rock bass. Only about 4 hours away from the lake with the world record smallie, just never seem to find the time to make the trip with so many good fishing holes near by ---

I mostly fly fish for trout in high Sierra streams, but I occasionally like to throw a Texas rig for some largies in my local ponds. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/6/1/261c815d4ceecbdbdfd7a83b4f960584851f34e2.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/b/c/2bc28aeacbc4103927a26e2fe9297313b470206f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/6/c/26cfe1f9399c5b477251b6e656549656c71a169c.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/e/c/cec12ad9e4bf33684c3a9246f9b2d4fe2c607548.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/a/a/aaa4e125d7bb53bb1c06592ce4495f597a90510d.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/7/a/17a80d27465234275c13d414f3c3e4fdea7d0611.jpeg) ---
