On average I fish about 2 Bass tournaments a week, and the best all around bait that is always on one of my rods is the ExCalibur One Knocker! I catch so many fish on this thing, and have won many tournaments from using it!

Take a look at this website, George Welcome has

a few more suggestions.

While I can't dispute the effectiveness of the Excalibur, and many other baits are great as well, I think the best all around bait in these parts is a 10 inch or larger worm in black.

For me down here, my best all around bait is probably a Zoom Magnum Ultravibe worm in Junebug Red.  Bass on my lake just seem to love them.

yeah... im going to have to agree that the best florida bait is any 7+ in" ribbontail worm in black.

but them there one knockers are awesome huh?!

I might agree with a spook but the one knocker is awful big.  I think a super spook jr. would be better all round.  Black would be the color if I picked a worm and I'd pick an Uncle Charlies ribbon tail 10"er

The best All Around Florida Bait is a 10" ribbon tail worm. You can consistently catch bass on this bait.

For me no other catches fish year round like a Zoom Mag II in junebug.

(as to one best lure, that changes every few hours).
