As the title suggests, what’s your go-to/ultimate confidence bottom contact bait(s) when the going gets tough?
For me, a T-rigged Hula Grub or big straight tail will almost always put at least one in the boat on the toughest of days.
A jig and craw for cold water. When the bite gets really tough I like a northstar custom baits hair jig or hippy jig. Combines living rubber and hair for subtle action
Texas Rigged beaver style bait. RI, SK, or a 7 inch power worm for the summer time.
Hard to beat a drop shot year round. 1/4 oz weight and Jackall Ishad or Crosstail Shad or Roboworm Sculpin.
Yamamoto Fat Ika 5" Scooting it along the bottom weightless. It never snags and casts a mile.

Zoom Magnum lizard in gourd green with chartreuse tail on a C-rig or short Stroker rig. I drag this thru treetops and catch a ton of fish from those blowdowns, and almost never hang up.

That's good stuff.
For me,it's the Senko. Whether it's fished weightless, Neko,or weighted wacky,I have so much confidence in it.
