so u guys think throwing a rattletrap this weekend on lake greenwood would be a waste of time in winter?

not from the area...hows the water temps, how have the bass been?

When I fish them in the early spring I most certainly down size. I have been going down to 1/8 oz on 4 to 6 lb test. Blue and sliver has worked well for me in the early spring.

When fishing the winter with Frank I will go with a eight pound bowling ball so it breaks through the ice and hopefully get a strike...............LOL I will leave the spare for you Frank.

Ya I start out with 1/8 or 1/4 oz...and then as summer approaches i got to 1/2 oz to 3/4 oz, the heavier bait will also run deeper.

Need to find a supply of lipless baits without rattles though...im running low on my old cordell spots.

what about winter time,in bigger lakes, ,would a 1/4 ounce be good 4 a tournament or just fishing this weekend?

its a veratile bait...i use it like a jigging spoon as well

it all depends what water column you are trying to work and what type action yout think will trigger the bite

Good stuff Robo

I have been throwing the 1/2 ounce in the blue and silver and the [censored] shad and both work just as good as the other . I would with out a doubt throw it in a tournament . Try it out before you enter the next one .

i picked up a couple different colorsin 1/4 oz, and will try them out alot tom.but i think the red one will be the ticket, just a gut feeling thou,because its suppose 2 rain some tom.
