Northland Weed runners from Fleet Farm. I can get them from $1 to $1.5 and are the best spinner by far.

The shirt material is solid and doesn't slip, and features a small Colorado blade and a prominent willow that is long and thin.

In the white shad with a red belly this is my go-to bait when I am having no luck. I love them so much last sale I bought I think it was 10 just in case I lost a couple through the year.

Bass Assassin Tapout 7.6" Black Blue Tail

Enhanced with liquid salt & infused with BANG

Straight tail worm that is twice as thick as a trick worm.

$2 @ Academy

Catt, what the heck is liquid salt? LOL.

Every year I pick up bags of powerbait whatever for .97 a bag... Every year I buy Zoom tricks, buy one get one, same with senkos, buy one get one..

Xcalibur hard baits... Sometimes $1.99 sometimes $2,99 at that pricing, nothing can compare.

Havoc pits are a great buy.. Get those cheap too.

All helps to keep the bait gorilla happy & me too!

Wait, I think I am the bait gorilla...

Cotton Cordell lipless.

Gonna toss my hat in for the Havoc Pit Boss. It's about as close to an all-conditions bait as it gets.

X2 on the netbait paca's I started using those this year and they are a great bait for the price, now my favorite lure is great for the subject because the price is amazing, especially for the amount of work these baby's put in and thats the Norman cranks. DLil-n, DD-14's, and DD-22's. I picked up about 8 DD-22's last year on sale for 3 bucks a piece and since then I have bought many more and am very pleased with them, they fish true right out of the package have good hardware on them and at 3-5 bucks a piece on average you just cant beat them. Ive caught a lot of fish in the last 2 years with them, the only other crank that I have used that has put more fish in the boat is the rapala jointed shad rap, in shad color love that little crank and the price isnt bad on those either, but since the normans showed up the rapala has taken a back seat. Love those cranks.  

I also like the H20 crankbaits. I had one that I lost on a cast, and found it the next week later still able to be fished. Just had to change the hooks and split rings out

SK XD series and the Havoc line

Awesome stuff for 5ish and 3 bucks!

I can't begin to guess how many bags of Havoc Pit's I have.  Great bait

Acadamy H3O squarbills

Berkley Havoc Pit Boss, Norman crankbaits, Cotton Cordell Spots, Scum Frogs, Beetle Spins....

 

 

Tight lines,

Catt, what the heck is liquid salt? LOL.

IDK, I just throw em

The extra thickness gives added casting distance

Fair enough!

A 1/4 oz. ball jig with a 3" grub didn't look like much to me when I first started fishing. 

 

Also, for some reason a 3/16 oz. fire tiger Super Spot has been bit by almost everything that swims my local waters, bass or otherwise.

zman elaztech products. I can't believe i don't read about more guys using them. nothing like catching dozens of fish on a soft plastic.

Bandit crankbaits.

 Five inch Yum-Dingers.  What are they a pack, around $3.00?  Also those Zoom trick worms.  They are cheap too you get a bunch in a pack.  Get a couple of packs of Yum-dingers and couple packs of Zoom trick worms and you would be set for the whole spring and summer!  Cheap, durable and proven bass catchers.   

Havoc Pit Boss, Pit Boss Jr., & Academy's H2O hardbaits.  (Sorry ww2farmer)

We'll now that my DSG no longer has them I've had some good luck on matzuo jerkbaits. For $3 bucks a pop you can't beat them. Some suspend good right out of the box some not so much. Doesn't really bother me for $3 a piece. They do have an extremely erratic action though.

Havoc and Big Bite Baits

I agree that those BPS xps lure and the H2O academy hardbaits awesome!

strike king KVD 1.5

All Academy H2O xpress line

Define inexpensive. I think the Spro Aruku Shad is great for the price. Comparing to the cost of most lipless cranks, this one is a steal. 6 bucks with good hardware make it a no brainer. Typically out fishes lures I own that cost twice as much.

Havoc soft plastics. $2.99 for a a bag of 8-10 baits (on average some have less, some have more), and I have yet to find one that's a dud. I have replaced all my higher priced plastics with Havoc baits, and have not looked back. Some , like the Pit Boss for example are almost as good as it gets for that style of bait. And I was..............WAS............a big fan of the R.I. Beavers, until I switched to the Pit Boss's.

 

Boss jig making materials are about as good as it gets for jigs (for me) I can make my own head skirt combos with quality heads/skirts for on average $1 or more less than the jigs sold by the big names (SK. Booyah, etc....) or the custom jig makers.

Same. I really like the Havoc stuff particularly the soft plastics jerk bait "The Jerk" in Disco Shad color.
