Why is it that if a person doesn't catch any fish with a certain bait, it must be a " Bad Tub" ? Maybe we should take some responsibility for our fishing skill. No bait is guaranteed to catch a limit or a fish every time out. Stubby's is a great bait, but I don't catch them every time I use it, but then again that's the case with every bait. There are a lot of great baits out there. If the fish is not there, you can't catch them, if they are not biting then you are S--- out of luck.. And by the way, I use quite a few baits.

cut shad

I've tried most of them out there and I've had the most success on CJ's Punchbait, hands down! I use it on reservoirs, rivers and ponds with a #4 treble hook, both straight line or cork fishing.

Winter and early spring; chicken breast soaked in dead red or clam juice. Caught more and bigger blues this year than using shad. I just got my stubbys and am looking forward to trying it out.

Forgot one, if there are a lot of grasshoppers around I do really well on worms.
