What is your hands down favorite type of lure? Mine is a soft plastic craw, any one of the Gambler craws to be exact.....flipped and pitched.

Depends on the type of year for me. Late spring- summer- early fall it's the jig for me. Winter- early spring-late fall it's the big swimbait.

Jig - I can catch fish from ice out to ice up on them. Just alter the style, size, jig trailer, and color as conditions dictate. I have been known to occasionally load a deck of nothing but jig rods!

Not even a close second, it's jig.  Jigs come in a wide variety of styles, materials and sizes, they catch just about thing that has fins.  A year round lure that can be used on any body of water, day or night.

Swimbait

jig

I'm loving a KVD Sexy Dawg topwater bait this year

I'd trade 10 regular bites for 1 topwater bite.

Squarebill crankbaits.

Crank baits with Zoom trick worms a close second.

Squarebill Cranks but a shakey head with a kicker worm on it is a very very close second.

My favorite bait is whatever I can get them to bite on at any given time. Even if I did try to pick one, I don't think I could.

Jig, so versatile.

Right now it's the Rage Structure Bug.

 

Otherwise, jerkbaits.

spinnerbait then plastics

I like cranks and spinnerbaits, I hate soft plastics and jigs. For me is like being punished when I can´t get fish to bite or can´t fish with cranks and spinnerbaits and I´m forced to fish with soft plastics and jigs.

Definitely poppers, and more specifically a Storm Chugbug. Not my most productive, but it's my favorite way to catch a bass.

Swimbaits for sure. But to be more specific anymore it's glide baits. The power of glides really is something to behold. The ability to draw fish is unreal and when they hit it even on a slack line glide they hit it hard.

I have been catching more on crankbaits, but my favorite is a jig.

Rapala floating minnow, great bass catcher, more versatile than one thinks. Inline spinners also.

Hard jerkbaits, they will catch many species of fish all year round. Modifying suspenders/floaters is fun and a good way for me to kill time in winter.
