File mob got me thinking,  What are your favorite least expenise lures?

I have consistently had luck with a .99 cent  rooster tail looking minnow head with a spinner around it. It has a treble hook and comes in two or three different sizes (not a very good description I know)

I get them at walmart,   Yesterday I went out for about an hour and caught 5 brim and 6 bass all on this same lure.  In one hour!!! I have caught bass, crappie, brim and catfish all on this lure.  Best all around bait, I can take it anywhere and usually catch something.  This is the lure I keep on the small spinning reel and rod I keep in my truck at all times in case I end up by a pond somewhere.

A $1.75 Lucky Strike spinnerbait. I've cought some of my biggest bass on them.

Fat Ika, $0.75 retail!

On average, I would guess I catch between 10 & 15 lbs of bass per lure. They come ten to a bag and I have about 15 bags.

I hope to run out of the ones I have and buy some more. :

Drop shotting Creme worms..

99 cents a pack.  It will last me a few days.

"Prototype" jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and soft plastics 8-). One of the perks of your fishing buddy(part-time tourney partner) owning a baitshop, making lures, and sponsoring you. ;D

I would say my favorite inexpensive lures for bass are zoom super flukes and homemade jigs. If I lose one out about .75 cents. For trout, I love thomas colorado spoons. For creeks, rebel crawfish and crickhoppers. Cant go wrong.

my favorite inexpensive lure is a hula poper i found while fishing my local pond, it looks like it is hand panted the pattern looks like a bird. ive caught so many fish on this lure i cant count, the best part is that it was free. ;D

When I got back into fishing a couple of years ago, picked up an assortment of 50 spinner buzz baits off ebay for $15 with shipping.  Looked like they were some kind of knock-offs for bulk sales at shows.  Anyway, have a lot of success with these and at about $.30 each, well worth it.  Although, I like the deal that juggalo got better.

Found a Rapala broken back blue/white. Have used it for years, caught a ton of fish on it. Lure was essentially free to me...

Strike King 1/8 oz. spinner with one colorado blade. Under 1.75 ea.

Couple weeks ago fishing hot side of lake anna caught a fish with a spot remover in its mouth, and i'm still catching fish on the jighead. Actually convinced me to buy a few packs of them too. I think the baitmonkey put the jighead there on purpose.

7" Power worm, 35 cents each.

The last for more fish than senkos or ikas, are cheaper, and I use them for spinnerbait trailers when they are too torn up to use on a t-rig. Lots of bang for the buck.

Cheers,
