Deadly Dudley bay chovie, salt and pepper with chartreuse tail, I think they call it "white".

H&H tko shrimp pink with chartreuse tail.

H&H cocahoe minnow black with either a white or chartreuse tail.

Usually if I don't have any luck with these 3, they aren't biting.

H&H was my go to for years.

Lately Deadly Dudleys have been working better though.

Too high dollar for me.

Not too mention when if you leave them on a hook it turns into a petrified turd.

It's been too damn long since I fished specks and reds.

But the strawberry/white tail cocahoe did me right for years.

Found this out the hard way. Had to cut it off with fricking bolt cutters.

Been using bayou chubs lately, work pretty well. Still have a box full of H&H Cochahoes. Electric chicken for reds works well. Purple / gold work for both. Strike King Spinner bait for reds.

I also use Gulp from time to time.

i've pretty much always used gulp under corks when yak fishing. i want to get away from gulp just because of cost and try and use regular swim baits.

Gulp is definitely a good bait, it's just too expensive and not very durable for me to use.

The only time Gulp has worked for me is when I can get schooling fish bitting on live bait in a frenzy.

Otherwise it's no better than any other plastic.

I can't stand spinner baits for some reason. It seems like they're always catching a bunch of garbage and screwing up my retrieve.
