My 11 year old daughter has always loved to fish but only wanted to catch pan fish or catfish. She basically just wanted to use live bait and wait for a bite. I talked her into trying a Bandito Bug once though and she tore the bass up all day long. Now all she wants to do is catch bass with her little Texas rigged “scorpion” bait!

lol sounds like my wife. She calls all her creature baits and rubber craws "My little man" and will say "oh darn something bit off one of my little man's legs" when an appendage gets bitten off.

Gonna throw out a little secret rigging these when the bite is tough. Ditch the bullet weight and tie on a weighted swimbait hook. The screwlock ones work the best. You can throw them in the deepest cover up shallow and not have to worry about it getting hung up.

i could watch scott martin all day and not be bored. There's so much I've learned by watching scott martin , 1 thing i learned by watching scott martin is that every day that its overcast weather makes me want to cast the spinnerbait out guns blazin , the 2nd thing i learned from watching scott martin is the activity and depth of the bass during the 4 seasons and the baits to use to slay the bass during the 4 seasons.

The bandito bug is killer. I just bought my first pack last week and I killed them on a texas rig (flipping trees) with it and as a jig trailer. The only downside is how soft it is. One fish and it tears up. But I know the softer it is, the more action you get and it has a ton of action.

Around here in PA, green pumpkin works great. A lot of dingy water. So I got with a black/blue trailer. Have had success with a green pumpkin jig, black trailer but rip off a chartreuse chunk of a senko and put it at the top of the hook to add brightness. A lot of hook ups.
