Sebile Magic Swimmer > this thing looks so good in the water but I haven't even had a follower in 2 years.

Like others said this year has been slow and only finesse baits have worked this summer.

I would not apply the term "favorite" to a lure that doesn 't work, lures that I like ( not favorites because that 's a term the lure has to earn ) I have several that fall in the category: does not work, however to be honest, I haven 't given them the opportunity to show their potential.

One lure that doesn 't work for me are buzzbaits, fortunately I only have a couple of those and really, it doesn 't take my sleep away.

The only lure that doesn't work for me is a empty hook, I tried to dead stick -it and still nothing, but as soon as I put a plastic bait on it, game on.I've caught bass on Sexy Swimmers and a french fry in tequila color, and a blue and chartreuse Dt10 Swimmer I've been throwing in 2-6ft of water and the fry as well.Dt's been in open water at school-in fish.And yes I said School-in Fish, crazy and unheard of. Good luck

Funny i've literally caught blue gills before just dead sticking a standard live bait hook. I think its because the hook is gold but idk.

Anything with the word "jig" in it. I like using jigs, but I swear me and jigs just don't mix. I've caught one fish on a jig. One of these days I need to try a different lake and toss a jig around and see what happens.

Me too. I think I caught a fish on a jig sometime in the 1990's. Granted, I haven't tried them too often since then, because I get nothing and would rather fish something that works for me and I have confidence in.

I have been trying to develop a better all-around game this year, so I have been trying again. Still nothing. Probably going to stick more with what I know and what works for me.

They aren't favortites by any means but Rapala X-rap, Spro BBZ Shad, flukes, and rage tail thumper (had one bite and it tore the tail off)
