I use the green pumpkin purple flake color for all my Strike King plastics. Especially the tubes and the rage craws. Blue Gill imitating desert buffets for our Pure Michigan largemouth and smallmouth bass. Great episode as always. Z is the best.
@@tonyboone3799 You sure did! Could you please send Beth an email at ekann@ratheroutdoors.com with your name, mailing address and phone number and she'll get you hooked up? Congrats!
Can’t just name one bro , sorry . KVD dream shot , half shell , fat coffee tube , coffee pro model tube , rage crawl , and the cut r worm . Those are just my favorites that I can’t live without . The ones the Horse face lunch and gorilla Kongs eat lol . Great show man that looks like fun . Thanks !
Love watching Zona crack a tube and absolutely wreck them!! My favorite soft plastic is honestly a tie between the Strike King Rage Craw, and the Magic Flick from Beast Coast Fishing. Between those two baits, I'm covered almost ice out to ice in for largemouth and smallmouth. They both just kill it for so long throughout the year, and have all the color combos I need!
When nothing else gets a bite, I rig a Strike King KVD Perfect Plastics Dream Shot in the color Magic on a drop shot rig. Always ends my skunk for the day! Enjoying the channel!
Anything towards the bottom such as Drop Shots, Ned Rigs,Tubes and Wacky Rig for those smallmouth on St Chair and watching this I might have to plan a trip out there soon
Great stuff Zona. You should be on the Elite Series. My favorite go-to soft plastic is a strike king caffine shad. Love the Kings Of Bass channel and all that you guys do for the industry. Keep up the hard work Zona and God bless...👍
I use a lot of Strike King plastics, but I definitely keep a rage bug tied on 99% of the time! The rage menace is a great jig and bladed jig trailer that I also use alot!
first off ... Mr. Zona I always love your michigan smallmouth content !!! keep it coming !!! secondly ... one of my favorite techniques is old school but effective ... gimmie a 1/4* or 3/8* ball head and a natural colored grub ... maybe 3" or 4" ... drag em through the rocks and gravel ... rip lips ... fish on
Z! KOB and a cup of coffee keeps me sane! I love your shows man. Keep ‘em coming! Oh almost forgot. My fav is a dream shot. Hint hint! Wrecking the Mohawk cheetah trench pandas with that thing!
When I started fishing for bass it was throwing tubes. Been working on fishing it like Zona, cracking it! Have to say the Rage Swimmer is one of my favorites.

Great video Zona! Love fishing lake St.clair Tube are always one of my go too baits can't wait to get some of those new colors you mentioned.. Can't go wrong with a Ned rig and getting those biggins my favorite
I have had the best luck with the green pumpkin rage bug so it has been my go to soft plastic. I have never tried a tube but Zona has me very interested in buying some coffee tubes.
I have a few favorite soft plastics depending on what I’m fishing. Trailers are Rage Swimmers, Keitech, ElaZtech, Rage Craws, Hog Farmer Spunk Shads, and Reaction Innovations Big Dipper.
I’ve been waiting forever for a Mark Zona signature series rod to come out……..FINALLY! What better company than Lew’s to team up with? Strike King lures are the best on the market, I’ve always had the best luck with them, in all conditions.
Impossible question, frankly! BUT if I had to pick just one, it would be a Smoke Gold/Purple Flake half shell. No matter the conditions or body of water, this soft bait has NEVER let me down!
I wish I was the guest on this episode. Never been small mouth fishing but would love to. I use a Strike King Rage Bug to pull large mouth out of rocks in the Ozarks.
For me the most success I had with a strike king bait would be the rage craw. The action of the claws compare to nothing else. T rig or cut it down and throw it on a jig, you can’t go wrong. Man this vid makes me want to get on some smallies, I thrown the tube before but I catch more snags than fish 🤪
Favorite bait would be the caffeine shad. Castability is second to none in the world of soft jerkbaits and the shimmy it has on the fall separates it from others.
I love watching episodes with Z but tell your editing team to pay better attention. We went from gloves, to no gloves and back again in a matter of seconds. Now give me that Tube Crackin'n rod

Strike King Rage Bug all day long. love it.
I fish the Susquehanna river a lot here in northeast pa and man nothing beats that small coffee tube they absolutely smash it
Zona, you and KVD should go to Lake Cumberland in KY for a Pro Team Journal. KVD already fishes it just for fun. Its a big lake with alot of fish

Love Zona and Pro Team Journal. I live in western NY. Many glacier lakes, tribs. Im so inspired, especially in winter when I can't fish. Thanks guys 👍
3.5 green pumpkin red flake coffee tube. It just catches them in Michigan!
Anything towards the bottom such as Drop Shots, Ned Rigs,Tubes and Wacky Rig for those smallmouth on St Chair and watching this I might have to plan a trip out there soon
With a Spybait forgot to add love to use it for Spring and Fall

Great stuff Zona. You should be on the Elite Series. My favorite go-to soft plastic is a strike king caffine shad. Love the Kings Of Bass channel and all that you guys do for the industry. Keep up the hard work Zona and God bless...👍
Epic. All I can think about is Traverse, Huron and LSC right now… favorite bait probably has to be the ztoo
“We’re never stopping”! 🤣
I’ve spent enough time around Zona to know that that one phrase sums the man up perfectly!! Good stuff Z! 💪🏻
I use a lot of Strike King plastics, but I definitely keep a rage bug tied on 99% of the time! The rage menace is a great jig and bladed jig trailer that I also use alot!
Tubes ,an addicting bait always catches them Great Video👊 Strike King Tubes, and Net Bait Tubes are my Favorites👍

I'm glad to see Clark Wendlant on this team....👍
Great show and great bait. Small rage craw is my favorite. River smallmouth cannot handle it! Love it!
Strike Kings- rage swimmer, Googan baits- bandit bug, ZOOM OL monster worm. Those are the sauce!
Fav. would have to be Rage Craw chunk in Okeechobee.
Favorite is a coffee tube of course! Especially living up in northern Michigan!
Strike King Rage (anything) are my favorite soft plastics.
Z! KOB and a cup of coffee keeps me sane! I love your shows man. Keep ‘em coming! Oh almost forgot. My fav is a dream shot. Hint hint! Wrecking the Mohawk cheetah trench pandas with that thing!

Rage bug
I love the rage craw. That’s just a perfect flipping style soft plastic.
Googan BanditoBug . This is my favorite so far.
I have had the best luck with the green pumpkin rage bug so it has been my go to soft plastic. I have never tried a tube but Zona has me very interested in buying some coffee tubes.
Favorite is the Strike King Rage Craw. I’m fishing for largemouth.
Gotta go with the ole Rage Menace!
Great Episode!!🔥 My favorite has to be a Rage Craw (June Bug) or, Rage Menace (KVD Magic)
Enjoyed your videos 📹
Strike King Ned Ocho was hard to beat on LSC for me last year green with gold & purple flake.

These episodes are 🔥 tons of respect!

Them big azzz bronze bass are awesome.
Smallmouth chicken wing🔥🤙
I really like the 5.5” Shadilicious to cover water faster then most other soft plastics
Tube!!!! They are really hard to beat on pressured lakes!! I just need a rod and reel!!!
Coffee tubes and Rage Crawls for me
coffee tube and kvd half shell
You are the tube master 😆
Favorite soft bait has to be the Rage Craw. 👍
Day in and day out I know I can get bit on a Strike King Coffee Tube in green pumpkin #homewrecker
It’s gotta be the rage bug for multiple uses
Like Khaki pants, you can’t have too many Blue Craw Rage Bugs. A close second is Blue Craw Red Flake. 👍 😁
can't say i've got a single favorite but the menace grub has worked pretty good for me the last few yrs.
Definitely just a good old roboworm, I know its basic but it puts in the work on those smallies! love the content!
Tubes, in all sizes and various colors depending upon body of water
Are tubes good for largemouth ?
My favorite lure is the Berkley General 6". In East Texas, the larger General catches bigger fish.
A rage bug is tied on almost anywhere I go
When is a good time of year to go fish st clair? Lake I've always wanted to fish
My favorite soft bait has got to be the ZOOM trick worm in that June bug color. That’s my PB bait👀
Which jig head did zona use for the 2.75?
Rage swimmer is my favorite now. But find it hard to not throw coffee tube or a menace grub.
I will take a swimin shiner on a 1/4 oz jig head when the water is cold and it gets tough.
The rage tail speed worm
KVD Dream shot
Aaron Martin's "Aarons Magic R/B" fat robo worm! Great vid Zona!
MZ is just so fun ro watch fish 🐟 🎣
I've been experimenting with Venum Lures bait called The Reaper on a Charlie Brewers slider head here in East Tennessee 👍
Strike king rage craws and z-man trds😀
Baby Z-too!
For me the most success I had with a strike king bait would be the rage craw. The action of the claws compare to nothing else. T rig or cut it down and throw it on a jig, you can’t go wrong.
Man this vid makes me want to get on some smallies, I thrown the tube before but I catch more snags than fish 🤪
What line is being used on the rods? Love these series!!
Favorite bait would be the caffeine shad. Castability is second to none in the world of soft jerkbaits and the shimmy it has on the fall separates it from others.
Hey Z, what jig heads do you use for both sizes of coffee tubes?
Zman finesse TRD in coppertreuse has been solid for me the last few years.
Rage craw on the back of a swim jig.
What size jig head do you use for the 2.75 Ztrain ?
He is using a 1/4oz jig head
coffee tube
White Ztoo on a drop shot 🔥
What month was this video shot?
yamamoto flapping hog. watermelon/red. Caught more 4+ lb on that than anything else. Strike king denny brauer flipping tube is a close second.
، very good
3.25 Rage swimmer
If nothing else works for winter bass throw out those coffee tubes
Water melon red ocho catches fish
Kvd dream shot.
Hard to beat a Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper. It's very versatile and flat out catches fish!
Billy strings!
KVD rage swimmer.
I love watching episodes with Z but tell your editing team to pay better attention. We went from gloves, to no gloves and back again in a matter of seconds. Now give me that Tube Crackin'n rod
Favorite soft bait has to be the Rage Craw!
