'Go To' Presentations
(third in a series)
by Bill Mathis
I
recently asked all Classic Bass Pro Staff Members and Field Staff Members if
they had to use one presentation all day long, what would it be.
This is part 3 in the series, featuring Classic Bass Field Staff Members,
Travis Peterson, Chris
Chinn and Mitch Schade.
I asked Travis, Chris and Mitch:
If you had to use one bait all day long, what would be your 'go to' bait?
Travis and Chris will talk about two different
Northland Fishing Tackle products,
while Mitch likes a bait we all know as the Senko.
Travis Peterson tells us, “If limited to just one bait, it would definitely be a
soft stick bait, specifically a
Slurpies
Dip-Stick. Hard baits and flipping jigs catch fish when the conditions are
right but I can always catch some bass on soft plastics; especially scent
enhanced varieties like the Slurpies products.
I like a green pumpkin Dip-Stick best. While
soft stick baits are typically rigged weightless, I would rig it on a 1/8-ounce
Northland Jungle Jig-Loc, a unique jig that allows for a weedless presentation
with soft plastics. Rigged this way, I can cast it in all depths and fish it
through any cover.”
Chris Chinn adds, “One of my go to baits is a
Northland
Mimic Minnow and the color is bluegill.
I really like this bait because it is
smaller than most spinnerbaits and it is very versatile.
It can be fished like a spinnerbait, it can be jigged or jerked.
I also like to use it because I can fish it fast or slow, at any level in the
water column, and still cover water.”
Mitch Schade wraps this series up, “If there was one lure that I had to use all
day long it would be a Gary Yamamoto Senko. It works great slow or deep and it
will catch fish anytime of the year.
I like to fish them wacky style in the
shallows or on a Tru Tungsten 1/8 oz jig head along deep weed lines.
It is also a great bait when a cold front comes through.”

We will be finding out the 'go to' lure choices of
more Classic Bass Staff Members,
including Pro Staffer, Scott Bonnema.
