What's The Most Underrated Productive Bait?

I think the most overlooked bait is the inline spinner. It can be still very productive.

What do you think?

Weightless Trick Worm for me. I have a buddy that kayaks with me and only fishes when he's with me. It's the only lure he uses and he catches them regularly on it.

 

The ol' T-rigged worm. I even usually overlook it in favor of a craw. At one time I'd caught more fish on the plastic worm than all other baits combined.

With the grub I remember seeing the older experienced guys using them.

Remember a decade +++ ago when the culprit worms with there colored tails where the hot ticket?

Grubs, tubes, and ribbon tailed worms are as good as they ever were, yet have seen a sharp decline in use (around here). I myself am guilty of not using tubes much any more, but over the last two years the grub and ribbon tailed worm have returned to my arsenal with gusto.

The pros killed it this year and last using big spoons (flutter spoon, magnum spoon, etc) but I never see anyone locally or on forums talk about using them to catch any bass.

I don't have the structure to fish spoons. Most of my lakes are very snaggy with timber. There are a couple spots I want to try though

I'm with you on the in-line spinners as being underrated. Those and beetle spins. Not what I'd consider a big fish baits, but when it comes to numbers those are the two 'hard' baits that come to mind.

Tubes or regular ribbon tail worms. Neither gets talked about a whole bunch but both will catch fish in nearly every condition.
