Targeting largemouth in a smallish lake, ~15 feet deep, which of these are you throwing?

  1. Commenting to add, I’ll be fishing from a kayak, not the shore. Not sure whether that makes a difference in lure selection

    Out of those three I’d pick the spinner since it might sink faster than the others. That said the right answer is to go hit the tackle shop and get something else.

  3. Id either bend the rear treble hook on the plug back in place or clip it off. Might want to check on the panther martin hook as well… looks funky but maybe it’s just old and I haven’t seen it before.

    Anyway I’d work the shoreline spots with the plug and spinner, and if you’re not getting anything maybe tie on the chartreuse jig and crawl it through deeper water.

    If there are distinct weed lines or edges then I’d work the plug or spinner over or next to those depending on their depth.

    If it’s a rocky bottom Id be interested in bouncing the bottom with the jig.

    Use what you got, but also you’d be doing yourself a favor if you upgraded the tackle a bit or just buy some senko style worms and EWG worm hooks and wacky worm hooks. Maybe some bullet weights. You can fish every body of water for bass with that gear, very universal.

    Nothing like throwing a floating rapala on a warm summer night and twitching it till they get pissed and hit it.

  5. Im throwing a senko of its fished a lot.
    If it isnt pressured, a chatterbait.
