best lures for calicos

[evosamurai]

hey guys gonna fish some kelps pretty soon, was wondering what are some good lures to throw out there, and would i need like a weedless kind to not get stuck? thanks for any info

[vanillagurilla]

war baits slayer heads with 5-6" or even 9" bighammers, shimano waxwings. Btw slayer jig heads are weedless and get thru the kelp great.

[evosamurai]

right on thanks, was gonna get some waxwings, ill check out the war baits slayer heads, gonna see if bass pro has em thanks vanilla

[evosamurai]

what colors do u recommend on the big hammers? natural colors?

[vanillagurilla]

browns seem to work good, the brighter the sun and clearer the water the clearer the bait, red calico hunter is a good bait for sunny and stained water or overcast and clear water, christmas tree is a great sunny day bait, toast is good in the morning b4 the sun is high, sardine is a good color to. bass pro dosnt sell those jig heads, i think tacklewherehouse dose though. try www.warbaits.com

Save your money and pass on the Waxwings :Sissy Fight:

Swimbaits all the way.

I've had good luck using 5" root beer flake twin-tail scampi's. Old school but they still work. Use anywhere from 1/2 to 1 1/2 oz jig head depending on current. If the boat has squid strips you can hook one on the jig hook.

what boats do you like to fish?

[evosamurai]

havent been on any local party boats, was gonna take my grandpas boat out of dana point next week or so, ive only been on the indian out of san diego, going again in august for a 2 day, hopefully theres yellow fin this year and not another cod trip

[BabyKiller]

4 to 5inch swimbaits are fine.

a wham will be more effective for you and they are much cheaper red leadhead 1/4 to 3/4 oz with a black &silver or brown and silver. dont forget to superglue it to the leadhead, one bait will last 5x as long.
