All the fish you catch on that are tiny. If you introduce someone to bass fishing, they are obviously going to want to catch one over a pound. Rooster tail is more for panfish and micro bass.
Funny story. I was once fishing at caugh a bluegill on a rooster tail, and as I pulled it out of the water, I saw a big bass try and catch it. I dropped it back into the water and it ate it, landing me probably the 3rd biggest bass of my life. If you’re just looking to catch fish and have a good time rooster tails are great, and can definitely catch a big bass if the odds are in your favor
Live in Canada and by far my favorite way for huge summer smallies, caught my 6 and a half pound pb on it this summer along with 3 other 4+ pounders the same day fishing some boulders from the yak.
I was out on a little pond by my house today and I was using a too water lure, and I caught two largemouth back to back. Do you have any recommendations on top water lures?
I'd say for a true beginner a Texas rigged senko. Weedless for all the beginners who can't tell difference between a soft bite or that submerged tree limb as well as a bit more weight for casting a baitcaster. Over here in Oregon throw some green pumpkin or black. Watermelon candy works well to during the spawn.
In my opinion, I prefer beetlespins when I was a beginner, it can catch anything you name, needs 0 action, you can fish it any speed, depth, action, however you like and it will catch a fish
The beetlespin is definitely a great bait! I find that it, for the most part, attracts smaller fish overall, but as you said it is a great beginner lure!
Yeah I have a 2500 spinning reel, but I was getting maintenance on it! I also have few baitcasters (shimano metanium mgl, and curado dc) but they aren’t typically used for light wacky rigs even though they could be! Anyway, thanks for the tips!
It’s a great, proven lure but sometimes fishing is just like that, I’d suggest moving the bait slower by just hoping it off the bottom. Also, it can’t hurt to try some new stuff too!
I like the 5 inch size for weightless rigging (either a Texas rig or wacky rig) and the 6 inch size for Carolina rigs. Overall I use the 5 inch more often, but it really is situational. Hope this helped!
I’d have to go with the jig, it can be fished slow or fast and works all year. During the summer it is perfect for going in and around grass and during the winter it is great on the bottom, imitating a craw. Of course it is also great during the spawn and fall as well!
Sometimes it’s just like that, we all have confidence in different baits and that’s totally fine! I definitely have some lures that I rarely pick up too🎣🎣
With a wacky rig, an exposed hook is important. Many baits like swimbaits, crankbaits, and jerkbaits also use exposed hooks. It is true that you don’t want an oversized hook, but if a bit is exposed than it doesn’t make to much of a difference.

Definitely a great lure! Caught some of my biggest bass ever on it!
Yeah! It’s an easy and effective lure that I always use when the bite is tough! Thanks for the support👍
What’s the name
In my opinion a roostertail is the way to go for a beginner

Smith Mountain Lake in VA, rooster tails work all day long with perch and small fish, crappy sometimes, rare to catch a bass with one.
Great vid. I know I'm a bit late, but, I like to use drop shot hooks. They are smaller profile, and I fish alot of clear water. Helps a ton
Yeah, bait holder hooks, drop shot hooks, and even small circle hooks are all great! Thanks for the tips and support!

Pier boys specifically purple ones do pretty good at almost every lake I’ve fished
I’ll have to try them!
I want my tackle box to look like yours one day!
It will! I am very appreciative to have what I have🎣
Another variation i like to do is thread a #7, 6, or 5 treble hook through the eyelet and the trebles hold the worm in place. Works pretty good
Cool tip! Thanks😀

Awesome video!! Your channel seems really cool!! Just subbed too!!👍
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback and support!

Yeah absolutely! Both are great baits and you definitely can’t go wrong with green pumpkin or black and blue!
That was Great!
Thanks!!
definitely agreed🤙🏽
🔥🎣
Wacky rig, square bill, Texas rig, and a spinnerbait. You can catch fish anywhere anytime with those and maybe add a jig.
I totally agree! All user friendly and effective!
Can’t go wrong with the senko there’s so many different rigs for a senko n just how you can consistently downsize
Yeah, it’s a versatile and effective lure to throw year round! Thanks for the support💪

I have never caught a fish on a wacky rig. Ever. Small jigs though. Those hit on fresh water.
Jigs are also a great bait!
Best starter lure aint the wacky rig its the curly tail grub theyre the best multi species lure specially for bass if you use a larger size
I hooked a good size bass on a kid pole
😎🎣
Rapala j 9 stick bait in black and silver is and easiest to use
Damn I wonder why these fish are longer and thinner but here in ponds near me they shorter and fatter 😅😅
It’s fine but I’d suggest getting a smaller spinning reel or better get a openface

Amen
I’d say spinner baits as a first time fisherman I’ve caught multiple pbs from spinners
Also a great bait, personal preference based on conditions and area!
in my opinion I think it is a spinner bait because it can catch multiple kinds of fish and little to no snags
Also a great bait!
"Everybody loves a cinnamon stick"- old timer
😂 That’s right!
Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke 😁
@@brdtovar.4079 you got that right 😂
Night crawler
Frogs.. FRogs... FROgs... FROGs... FROGS!!! They are top water.. and when they hit its like angels from heaven singing sweet home Alabama.. FROGS
Frogs are one of the best and most fun baits for sure!
I just started bass fishing and j use me the wacky lure for like 3 weeks and have not caught anything
It’s a great, proven lure but sometimes fishing is just like that, I’d suggest moving the bait slower by just hoping it off the bottom. Also, it can’t hurt to try some new stuff too!
@@bigbitebassin2482 well I have been using everything all soft plastics all hard plastics I mean everything and still caught nothing
THANK YOU AND I MEAN THANK YOU FOR RELEASING IT GENTLY
Of course!
What length is best for the lunker log.
I like the 5 inch size for weightless rigging (either a Texas rig or wacky rig) and the 6 inch size for Carolina rigs. Overall I use the 5 inch more often, but it really is situational. Hope this helped!
@@bigbitebassin2482 thanks
That easy as for a private pond.
It’s actually in a public park. I just get there early to beat the crowd!
😂, I did the same too. That was the only easy way it if can getting out bed early lol.
I would say a crankbait
That’s also an easy and effective bait! Definitely a solid option!
What is the the best year round lure?
I’d have to go with the jig, it can be fished slow or fast and works all year. During the summer it is perfect for going in and around grass and during the winter it is great on the bottom, imitating a craw. Of course it is also great during the spawn and fall as well!
Weightless black blue speed worm
That’s also a great one!
Is that an entire googan tacklebox?😭
A bit, not all. I like most of their baits and they work pretty well!
Link?
Name?
What tacklebox is it?
Plano waterproof tackle box
Iv bass fished for about 8years and i have never caught a bass on a wacky rig, just a 0 faith lure for me
Sometimes it’s just like that, we all have confidence in different baits and that’s totally fine! I definitely have some lures that I rarely pick up too🎣🎣
Trick worm
I thought you couldn't expose the hook because the fish wouldn't bite
With a wacky rig, an exposed hook is important. Many baits like swimbaits, crankbaits, and jerkbaits also use exposed hooks. It is true that you don’t want an oversized hook, but if a bit is exposed than it doesn’t make to much of a difference.
I've caught more finicky bass on a tube than anything.
Also a great bait!
Ned rig
180🤣🤣🤣💀💀
The only person I have seen that puts the reel on the right side...
Any stick bait with a chartreuse tip works killer.
That’s definitely true!
Never like bass. Big mouth with small body. No much meat.
