servey, most success? hp, sp, etc.

[myself62]

order of success fishing (1-4)

1. hard plastics

2. soft plastics

3. live bate

4. dead bate (eg, freshly frozen)

[kriso]

live worm and mullet strips is all i have ever used

thats probably why i have no pictures of caught fish to show

[Feral]

Well depends on what your doing, I'd run live bait as best, then lures or SP's dead bait last, not because I think it will catch less fish than lures, but lures are easier to carry, and they are always in your tackle box.

[Master Sardines]

I'd have to agree with Feral 100%. Except I seldom use a dead bait.

Kriso, you should always catch something with worms

[Do$tylz]

1 - Livies

2 - Dead baits (you can use Licorice soap to get rid of the smell...and i hate licorice)

3 - soft plastic

4 - hard body...

thats my ranking in success....im still sucking hard at hard bodies. No matter how persistant I am and how many ingenious ways I can think of retrieving the bloody things I still can't catch a fish on them.:evil:

[Ash]

1_ Hardbodies

2_ Dead baits

3_ Sp's

4_ Live bait

I dont veru often use livies very often.

Been using dead bait for years so that still more the sp's. And hard bodies, even though ive been using them the shortest amount of time, well they ROCK!

[ando_04]

all depends on what your fishing for.

1.sp's

2.hb's

3.livies

4.dead biat

[STU]

sp's for me thats all I normally use they do the trick but I must say live bait would be right up there, like everyone said depends what your doing hard bodies are good too.

[Cowfish13]

1. Dead Bait (I always use it and I catch hundreds)

2. Hardbody's

3. Soft Plastics

4. Live Bait

[Terry H]

Like Ando said, all depends what you are fishing for, some fishing I use only dead bait, others I use only hardbodies, and other forms I use only live bait.

Not a fan of Soft plastics, don't use that for any fishing.

[rayke1938]

Soft plastics are a big con all they do is melt together and cover everything with a sticky slime and that is keeping them in so called plastic friendly plano and shimano boxes. 40 down the gurgle when you open the box up to use them. No thanks.

Ray

[Feral]

Gotta keep them in their original packets, of yep, they melt!

I saw Ray's the kids would have loved it - massive Booger!

[bigtez]

SP's

HB's

Don't use bait af any sort. I don't have the patience to sit and wait for the fish I like to go hunting them.
