Love me some 5-Things! Here's 5 ideas on the house... 5 cold front setups for days when conditions are constantly changing. 5 things you didn't know about boat positioning and presentation. 5 favorite ways to target suspending fish (high percentage go-to locations). 5 favorite "Hail-Mary" baits for when you're having a tough time. 5 forage species you may not know about.

Thanks Matt. It's 4:00am and I haven't had my coffee yet. I still fish co-angler in bigger local tournaments (my boats 23yo) so I think like a kayak angler at times. Trick worm, green pumpkin/chartreuse tail (101 uses). 5" baby bass Senko. Rage bug, blue craw. Rage craw, blue craw. Super fluke, baby bass. Honorable mention tube jig/7" power worm.

6” zoom lizard in green pumpkin 5” senko in root beer or green pumpkin 6” robo worm MM, Morning Dawn, Aaron’s magic Brush Hog green pumpkin red flake Sweet beaver in hematoma Honorable mention strike king ocho in green pumpkin or morning Dawn. I had a .45 caliber plug cut out of my face a few years ago. Healed up nicely,hardly see the scar. Same cancer as you.

🍺I have more than a life time supply of soft baits☺️and that totally makes no sense.🤷‍♂️ With that said I figured Matt Stefan would choose. 1)PIT BOSS.. Texas,Flip 2) Deal….swim jig, spinnerbait. 3)Wind up worm….Grass, C-rig 4) Max scent flat worm…. Smallmouth 5) Max scent General… weightless, wacky. For me🤔 1) Yamamoto 5” Thin senko… Green pumpkin 2)Yamamoto Fat baby craw….Pumpkin black flake. 3)Yamamoto hula grub….Black & Blue flake. 4)ZMan Trick shotz…. TW Bluegill 5) Keitech 3.3 fat impact… Smallmouth magic. Fun topic🤠

A hard one, (1)power worm with a tail purple with red or blue fleck, one them (2) hula grubs with a split tail black and blue or green HMM, (3) Senko Green or Black and Blue would alternate it with the number two choice. (4) A more translucent power worm with a curly tail. (5) Swim baits are new to me so give me one of those whiteish silverish one. Or a purplish silverish translucent one. ha ha. This is why I talk half of one thing and add it with another so I have both with me. And my hooks have hooks on both sides of the package. I can pack up a tackle box very well and one rule is that it's easy to get to. Like the plastic gum boxes for spinner baits. Yep!

Great suggestions Matt. I would list the Yamamoto green pumpkin senko as my number 1 in either a 7” weightless Texas rigged setup, the 6” wacky rigged or the 5” for smaller bass. Number 2 would be the Yamamoto D Shad in smoke or olive green which I fish Neko rigged but could also be fished Texas rigged or put on a drop shot or light jig head (it’s a killer bait in Florida). Number 3 would be the Zman Ned rig or the Zman crawz (in green pumpkin) which could be need rigged or used as a trailer. I also like the new Yamamoto Ned worm. Number 4 would be the keitech fat swing impact on a jig head, under spin, or A rig or the easy shiner fished on a drop shot (bluegill or pro blue). My 5th bait would be the storm wild eye swim bait in baby bass fished alone or on an A rig.

Matt, those are all great picks and all are very versatile. I would opt for: #1 a full size Zinkerz in Blue Craw instead of a TRD and a General. That way you can make it any size you wish and they are much softer and float better than a TRD once you de-salt them. #2 Berkley Kingtail Worm in Green Pumpkin...I can cut the tail off and make a French Fry or a drop shot bait plus it is Maxscent. #3 Zoom Super Fluke in electric shad...come on you have to have a Fluke. #4 Big Bite Baits Craw Tube in color Confusion. This gives me a good flipping bait and I can snip the craws off to make a tube too. #5 has to be a swimbait so a Keitech Fat 3.3 in electric shad. Maybe the list should be top 25

As a competing kayak angler myself, I pack FULL enough 360’s to fit inside a crate, a small KVD worm bag, and a small 4-360 type tackle back for swimbaits and accessories like line, spare spools, leader material, rod repair kits, etc. My crate holds 8, 360’s, and I pack them with my absolute favorite, most confidence-filled arsenal, leaving one 360 just for terminal and tungsten. I just started using a crate this year, it’s the best way to get to what you need quick. I use snaps on hardbaits, so I limit line tying to abrasion/damage reties. Lure + water = fish. Alot of guys spend more time tying than fishing.

I never fish anywhere with out a Keitech 4” easy shinner in electric shad color. I always have a ned rig ready as well with a TRD in green pumpkin gobby with that purple flake to it. Of course a stick worm, usually use Yum Dingers in 5” because they’re inexpensive and durable in a black/blue flake. Don’t know why, but in my local lakes that seems to be the color most of the year except prespawn, then i use some sort of green with a red or gold flake

My go-to bait is a soft stick bait almost the same color as the one you mentioned on your video. My second go-to bait is the Z-Man Pop Frogz. I love its buoyancy and durability. I am new to swim-baits and I am wondering what you thoughts are on the Z-Man swim-baits, and how they compare to the Keitech. I know they would last longer but can they catch even half as many fish?

It’s caught too many big bass and can do in the place of creature baits a lot of times.) Top 5 colors 1. Green pumpkin 2. Watermelon seed 3. Black 4. Generic baitfishy color for the swimbait. They all seem to work about the same for me. 5. Pearl white for the flukes but I wish someone would make a pearl white floating worm. Some red and chartreuse dye can add versatility to the green pumpkin and watermelon seed.

I agree for the most part however get rid of the TRD and replace it with a zoom fluke (id go with albino for a color). You could cut down the Berkley general and use it as a ned rig. A fluke you can fish t-rigged and fish it several different ways( let it sink, twitch it, burn it like top water). You can also fish it as a trailer on a bladed jig (if you haven't tried it you'll thank me later) and you can drop shot it. just my 2 cents :)

I was thinking the same thing on cutting down the General to a TRD size for neds. And for a specific lake I fish a lot, a fluke style lure is simply a must in a minnow natural color. My opinion is slanted by my favorite lake. However, what I'm now left wondering is how the flatworm would work rigged and used as a fluke in this same lake. If I can fluke it, I have now created room for another soft plastic.

I fish mostly Lake Fork with a local club all year round. Even a weedless Ned rig hangs up too easily with all the wood, and as co-angler, I never use one. Would the Zman TRD be on the list if Ned technique is impractical? Tackle Warehouse doesn't list the "Purple" General as an option, and the package in your video was unreadable. June Bug is an option at TW, but just doesn't look like the color you were holding in the video. Would you check the General package and let us know? For those of us who can afford/carry more than 5, but not a million, would be great to see a seasonal breakdown of best baits. That is, always have these 10 baits with you for winter, these for spring, these for summer, and these for fall. Love your videos, keep up the great work!

I'm old school and have a lot of patience but I'd say a culprit red shad worm on a very light weight that's pegged 20ish inches up. And the patience to dead stick it. Literally the best set up ever. I won't even bring it with me most trips so I can use my other lures. And i have plenty. But that culprit is money always.(best spring through fall)

I guess I'm an oddball in the fact that I fish gin clear water, practically tap water, and the first color I tie on 9 times out of ten is junebug. Miles and I went back and forth on this a while back. I don't want my bait to blend in. I don't want the bass to have to work for my bait. I want to make it easy for them. And it seems to work a lot of the time. The only time I switch to a "natural" color, is if junebug or black/blue flake didn't get a bite.

Good selection Matt. I’m going with the Roboworm Ned (3” and 4”), Roboworm Fat Straight Tail worm in the 7”, 6” Yamamoto Senko and the Keitech swim baits. The Roboworm straight tail is good on a drop shot or Shakey Head, the Senko can be used as a jig trailer. I’m leaving out the craw style baits for flipping so that has to be an honorable mention (Yamamoto Double Tail Grub).

Hey Matt: I chose ZMAN Trick ShotZ for dropshotting. Especially when it comes to nose-hooking durability and horizontal suspension, they're a worthy competitor to the Berkley Maxscent Flatworm. My paddletail swimbait of choice is the Jackall Rhythmwave, again for durability over the ultra-popular Keitech.

There is a surprising lack of basic science research on what bass can see but lure companies are surprisingly proficient at using colors to catch fishermen like me using colors to set the hook and reel me in. Yesterday I bought plastic worms in Margarita Mutilator color because it looked good to me even though I know better. Biologists from the University of Illinois and Cornell University recently published a research study titled "Seeing red: color vision in the largemouth bass" in Current Zoology in March of 2019. The study does have limitations in that they only used juvenile largemouth bass (both northern and Florida strains) so these results may not apply to smallmouth bass and spotted bass. Bottom line is that bass only have two cones (red and green) and one rod (shades of grey) so they can see red and green and shades of grey/black. Humans are trichromatic in regard to their cones, so we see colors differently than bass. The second point is that bass were not able to distinguish between white and chartreuse; however, they should be slightly different shades of the same color. Chartreuse should appear white to bass. The third important point is that largemouth bass were not able to distinguish between blue and black so you can probably throw all of the black, blue, and blue/black baits in the same box. The issue is much more complicated, as we all know, as there are many variables including ripples/waves (makes colors darker), sunlight (noon sun has different spectrum than morning and evening sun), particulates in the water, and water depth (red is the first color to disappear). As Matt alluded to, does a green worm with red flake make a difference? Maybe as bass can see both colors but there is no published research on this. Does layering a worm with different colors make a difference (think Roboworms)? Does a translucent worm catch more fish under certain circumstances? Does a green pumpkin worm with a chartreuse tail catch more fish than just a green pumpkin worm under some conditions? These areas need more basic science research. Finally, Matt based on his experience has actually picked colors that make some biological sense. Purple/oxblood (should be at least partially picked up by red cones), green pumpkin/watermelon (should be picked up by green cones), blue/black (should be picked up by one end of the rods scale, and white (should be picked up by the other end of the rod scale). Great video. I guess I will still try Margarita Mutilator!
