Zoom plastics......In particular the magnum finesse worm. 

 

I'm also a fan of Norman crankbaits. The deep baby N has been very good to me.

I also like Northland Thumper jigs rigged with a grub or a minnow.  Primarily used up north for Walleye but the 3/8 works well for bass.  Cheap and well made.

 

The original H&H spinner bait.  A Southern tradition. 1.99.

 

Old school basser...

Cotton Cordell Super Spots. I don't like BPS and a lot of other cheaper lures, but those work, and I can't complain with that.

Cotton Cordell  2 1/4" Big O in chrome for clear water smallies

I'll contribute to the Havoc Pit Boss train. Those things are a solid deal

Gitzit tube 3.5 in.

Havoc plastics and H2O hard baits.

Havoc and some of the BPS plastics. S.K. cranks are a bargain. Booyah Pad Crashers are darn good frogs for the price.

Bomber square A's are cheap, they flat out catch fish!

absolutely!

Sam, I agree with you on Bandit cranks. I would say that roughly 1/2 of my 300+ cranks are Bandits, 100, 200, 300 and 400 series and probably 20+ colors, They always run true out of the box, good hooks and hardware and at 5 bucks a pop, a really great lure, 

I have a rebel of a spook. In bone. Cost a buck. Caught more fish on it than some of my 7 dollar rapalas

Blaze minnow floating jerkbait

Picked them up for a buck a piece

Smallmouth kill them

Went back and bought 30 of them

Bill Lewis Rat-L-Traps

Rapala Husky Jerks and DT's

Rat-L-Traps, not exactly inexpensive but compared to others in the market, a damned good buy to me, always slams the fish

siebert outdoors jigs. amazing quality, my favorite jigs and very cheap. ex. $2.75 for a custom swimjig
