    Its a green neon light, and don't waste your money on it, there have been countless question on this site regarding the light in question, not one of those who bought one have caught the monster bass , they are a waste of your cash.

    A spin on the green neon light aka The fishing secret of 1947.

    The neon light attracts plankton, the small fish come into eat the plankton and then the big fish come in to eat the smaller fish. It all just a play on words by the advertiser, you can pick up a starfire light system for 20 bucks at any fishing department store ( even walmart) and it'll do the same thing.

    ~ Rio, that's not right. A stick of Dynamite is called a " Red Minnow, " the best "lure" ever made that actually catches anything. LOL

    Live chumming? Never tried it on bass, but it works on just about everything else.

    Bass eat anything, I think it's more about light tackle, fluorocarbon leader and accurate casts. If you're using 20lb tackle, you should be fishing for sailfish, not little guys. 8lb Ande, 16lb. Flouro leader, and the ability to read the water is all it takes. If you can't turn a bass with less than 8lb mono, you need to re-learn how to fight a fish. If you can turn a snook on 12, trust me, you can turn a bass on 8. Also, no swivels, only use line to line direct connections. Keep gear in the water to an absolute minimum, and then try to shrink the diameter of the line even further.

    If you can outcast and out-position the other boats, you're going to catch more fish.

    Locate structure or wherever fish are holding, and cast accurately and know how to work the lure. Don't just reel it in, make it mimic bait! I think that's why most people don't catch many fish. They just cast straight out and retrieve straight back in without so much as a single twitch.

    Take a Zoom attractive Toad and rig a propeller from an previous buzz bait the front of it, style of like an in-line spinner bait and throw it interior the weeds. I assure you will capture solid high quality bass. a guy from my abode city made it up and tried merchandising them for a on a similar time as, yet did no longer locate the money for to get it going. He had a area called circulate Daddy fishing lures yet i think of that's out of date now. supply it a try, I promise it is going to paintings. The water temp must be over fifty 5 tiers to have any fulfillment with topwater lures. happy fishing.

    If bass aren't biting and there's trout in the lake you're fishing, a Huddleston Deluxe ROF will get the job done, or a Jerry Rago Baby Tool, 3:16 Armageddon, or any other type of big trout swimbait.

    in the meantime check out http://www.bassintips.com/ for great bass fishing information

    Swim Baits with alot of action in them.........Bass love it. Dark on dark days, light on light days. I usually try to match the type of baitfish in the area. Try a nice 3-4" swimbait with a good amount of weight to it (depends on how deep you're fishing) and crank it in nice and slow like. Try casting directly onto the bank and pull it into the water, or in line with the banks if you are casting from shore, only cast straight out if you know there is some sort of structure, or you have to. good luck

    The one I use when I fish Tournaments that gets me in the money, but then its really not the bait but where I find the fish.

    Location and choice of baits is what matters!

    It's a trade secret among us old pros....LMAO

    Worms

  • 1 decade ago

    soft bait and good wrist action(lol but true)

    Plastic worms were once illegal in Georgia because of their effectiveness.

    I always use Chompers (skirted) just be sure to get an appropriate color, watermellon or a greenish color or a light brown.
