You are absolutely right, Sinko's however don't come through hardwood brush as well as Texas rigged worms.. Works for me as I have about 100 of them on Lake of the Ozarks, Mo.

I’d go with the 6” senko natural or dark colors I don’t fish them wacky style prefer weedless style Just caught a 18” small mouth bass and a few smaller ones this afternoon out on the kayak.

Anyone have success with these highly hyped Whopper Ploppers? Just had a shipment of 3 of their 75 size arrive from tackle warehouse.

Been fishing the 110 Plopper for years. It's a killer! The Bone color has consistently been the best color for me.

For smallmouth: KVD Dreamshot, drop shot rig.
For Largemouth: Yamamoto 5 inch grub, texas rigged with 1/8 oz weight.
If I could only have one lure for both: Rapala Original Floating #11, black/silver.

Rick N Tenn's not wrong about the Ned Rig. We used it for the first time this past summer when it got hot and caught a lot of fish when not much else was working.

The 5" bubble-gum Senko is my go-to bass lure......works great and doesn't get hung-up in the moss.

I started throwing a chatterbait this year. They are skipable on bait casting gear and they catch bigger than average fish much of the time. It has become my go to when the water is cool. Mid summer they don't seem to like them as much.

Exactly what is a Texas rigged worm? I fish with plastic worms on worm hooks rigged weedless (the barb turned back into the worm body) . Is that Texas rigged? Until I found this forum, I never heard of a Texas Rig. Would somebody explain it to me please?
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Kid, that is exactly how I fish with a plastic worm, bullet weight and all. I guess a Texas Rig is what I’ve been using all along. Thanks.

No reasonable person doesn’t adjust their tactics based on conditions but if you needed to commit to one lure? What would it be and how would it be rigged?
I go full retard far too often using a weightless 5” senko. Full disclosure. Depending on how the river is flowing, 3ounce weight, slido, hook of your choice. Chovies, sardines or pile worms as bait. Striper love em
