By this I mean out of every softbait/lure etc that you have, what is your most used? Regardless of the time of year/fishing situation. Mine would have to be a 3inch GYCB or YUM senko.

Spinner baits.

Fat Ika

6" Senko

Micro Munch Tackle El Gordo tube

My goal for 2006 and moving now into 2007 is focusing much of my time on jigs. I hope to make this lure class my "go to" baits.

A jig, a 3/8oz. black/blue one to be exact. I always have one tied on no matter where or what I am fishing.

Vyron's Custom Made Spinnerbaits

I don't have a bait that I use most often. I'm pretty comfortable and enjoy fishing a bunch of different styles.

1/2 oz black/blue strike king pro model jig, although I am starting to find myself using a sweet beaver/berkley beast (watermelon red flake) in a lot of situations where I usually pitch a jig.   Now I have to re-evaluate everything.  Dang it!

#1 Texas Rigged Gene Larew 7 ½ Salty Ring Worm Cinnamon Pepper Neon/June Bug Laminated (Camouflage).

The rings give this bait a fatter/larger profile in the water, but the actual body where your hook goes is very small providing for a faster more solid hook penetration.  

any of the 7 inch draggin series paddletail worms

I Carolina rig mroe than anything.  About any plastic creature will do the job.

Jigs and plastics would be #2.

Brad

1/4 oz swim jig with either a single or double tail grub

Original Floating or Jointed Rapala Silver/Black Back #7 to # 11

My sammy 100 in american shad is always on.  Also, 1/8oz tru-tungsten ikey head jighead, 1/4oz spot remover jighead, and spot stalker 1/8oz jighead with a watermelon/gold flake or seedless watermelon trick worm

I don't have a bait that I use most often. I'm pretty comfortable and enjoy fishing a bunch of different styles.

I'm similar to Cart7 but I probably have 5 or 6 baits which cover most situations that I'll fish more than others.  

Tubes, Tubes, Tubes............. ;D ;D ;D

white terminators and yum dingers in baby bass color.

whittler, what is that?

T rigged worms but I just bought some Rapala crankbaits.......we'll see  ;D

SPEEDBEAD, that is a crankbait that I make, my signature is on the bottom.

I always have some type of ratltrap type bait on one of my rods.

a jig is also pretty much a gurantee.

If you see me fishing a senko you can count on one thing for certain.  

I'm having a tough day.
