Try the Bass Pro Shops Egg crankbait. It's nice and fat and it stays 1 cm or less below the surface.

Any heddon spook junior, any daredevle, and most rapala crankbaits. I've spent about $1300 on tackle and soft plastics, plus over $300 on expensive swimbaits and poppers, but all I really catch fish on are those three.

I've fished the Merrimack river about 2 or 3 times while picking my sister up from crew. In the 20 total minutes I've fished there, I caught 3 bass on a super spook junior.

I fish everything with my setup that consists of an Ugly Stik medium heavy rod ($40) and an Abu Garcia Revo STX bait caster ($200). I have found this setup to work awesome with anything such as crank baits, spoons, spooks, spinnerbaits, frogs, and live bluegill. I don't fish many plastics with it, but It works great with reaction strikes because it is stiff enough to set the hook immediately.

I am looking to start fishing plastic swim baits now as I have never really tried them. I need advice as to what plastic swim baits, hooks/ jig heads, and line I should be using. I am targeting largemouth bass in MA so fish are a bit finicky and I want to find a good set up to catch them.
