What are your go too baits when night fishing for bass.
B
Personally, I like to T-rig at night. I can stay focused better. Six inch worms in electric blue and 4" tubes. Jigs in dark greens and Browns and as always black/blue.
I keep 4 baits tied on at night. Jig, t-rig(I'll either use a worm or a paca craw with a tube rattle in it), Spinnerbait, and some really loud on top. colors depend on whether theres moonlight or night and how deep the fish are.
I fish big Culprit plastic worms 99.99% of the time at night...Texas-Rigged...love the black shad color and the junebug color. I'll make sure to add a glass bead between the hook eye and the bullet weight for a little extra "clack" and have been known to stick a worm rattle in the plastic also...and it's one of the few times that I use scent. I'll smell'er up real good. At night, I want a large/distinct profile in the water, vibration, and sound. The big Culprit with a thumping tail, a bead, maybe a worm rattle, and some juice on her...mmmmm.
I'll also have a big, nasty, huge thumpin single Colorado blade spinnerbait tied on...and something for the top, usually a big ole buzzbait.
I usally go a little larger with my t-riged baits at night. I am not afraid to throw 10 and 11 inch curly tail worms. A 1/2oz #8 single gold colorado spinnerbait ,black with a 6 in. red shad curly tail worm trailer. A big bomber #7 red craw crankbait. A black or black and blue Jig (with rattles) with a craw trailer (paca)
As always at night juice up your offerings with you favorite scent Yum- Bang ect. These have never failed me.
Not trying to divert the thread, but when you guys are T-rigging those baits, how much weight are you using? Egg-sinkers?
If and when I do night fish for Bass - generally I'm T-rigging or crankin.
When T-rigging - I'm usually throwing a 4" Gene Larew Craw w/rattle inserted. And the color is green w/orange claws. I'm usually using a 3/16oz slip sinker ... regardless of whether I'm working it 1-10ft deep or 1-20ft deep. I'm using a blacklight - watching my line - working it slow.
When crankin - I'm parallel fishing the banks ... usually with a red Hot Lips, but occasionally with a Baby Bass Wiggle Wart or a Fire Tiger Model A Bomber. I'm working the 10-15ft depth range.

Depends on depth mostly to me but 3/16 or 1/4 most of the time. If per chance I get on fish shallower I may go for an 1/8.

Black & Blue Jigs, big worms up to 10" in Red or Black Shad, Big Black or White Single Colorado Blade 1/4 to 1/2 oz spinnerbait...If the moon is out I will even throw a topwater bait, either a Buzzbait, or a walking the dog type of bait. Weights for worm will be from 1/8th oz to 5/16ths.
Just hang onto that pole when a big ole bucket mouth grabs that spinner bait at night...Will feel like a big Semi done tried to jerk the rod out of your hand..... Man do I love to fish at night......
big tequila sunrise worm,blk\bl,,blk\chrt jig and a big fat crankbait..db3..dd22,#9 risto rap and rebel deep maxi r..or a 1 oz spinnerbait.

big black buzzbait, black jitterbug, big black spinnerbait, 10" worms in red shad.
