It might surprise some people that you if you’re a largemouth bass fisherman you can use a lot of the same gear and lures inshore.

Rattletraps, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, plastic worms, grubs, bucktails, jerkbaits, Pop-R’s…they all work.

I have heard this and this is good news to me and I have a lot of bass fishing gear and I want to start saltwater fishing more and it will save me from buying lots of new lures

I have done really well using Bass Assassin jerk shad, rigged weedless, with no weight. More than once I have used the same bait in the morning at a freshwater lake for largemouth, waited for low tide and then gone after reds or trout the same day.

Good post.

I am planning on increasing my arsenal this year, so it’s good to have some info like this.

Over the years, I have pared down the number of lures I use. For working the lower third of the water column, a lead head jig with a Z-Man MinnowZ lure. For the middle third, a Rapala HJ-08 or Z-Man StreakZ on a 1/8 ounce flutter hook. On top, a Zara Spook Jr.

hands down my favorite is a little george. it casts a country mile and catches anything that goes after a baby shad sized baitfish in both freshwater and saltwater.

the following lures also receive honorable mention: rooster tails, senko worms, plain ole culprit worms (texas rigged), casting spoons, trout tricks, scum frog, beetle spin, crawler harness (similar to a fluke rig but for casting nightcrawlers for walleye in lake erie…also effective for countless other species.

Its hard to beat that creek chub! Both fresh and salt. I’ve fallen in love with an Alabama rig, you can rig it with so many type of lures from bucktails to spoons.

13

yozuri crystal minnow, pink gulp shrimp, redfish magic spinner bait, silver skitter walk, mad mikes mud minnow, mad mikes copperhead crab, clear tiny torpedo, zoom trick worm on a jig head.
