  • 5 must tie baits for priest

    Posted by laquiere on October 9, 2015 at 5:17 pm

    Hey guys ! First time I have ever posted. Thought I’d ask what everyone started with when they fished priest for bass. Seems like everyone has a bench mark they start with and expand from there.
    I normally start with, a 8″ watermelon or pumpkin spice lizard, a buzz bait white, chartreuse, or black, bandit craw crank, and a shad rap. I’m finding some awesome ideas on the videos from Brian. But what do you all love over there?

    For me my top 5 probably goes like this, in no particular order:

    – Finesse Jig
    – Squarebill Crankbait
    – Lipless Crankbait
    – Topwater (walking bait)
    – Shakyhead

    I think so to Brian. I wish more people that night fish would post. What I am seeing is mostly day time baits. I did forget to mention blade type on spinner bait is a Colorado blade. But I do see alot of what seems to very good bait choices that I should try when I get out during the day time. Thanks fellows.
