Senkos are the best bait in the world. I fish them far more than anything else. 

As good as any for sure, but not one of my favorites.

I have my favorites which is not based on what I catch but how I catch them.  Given the right kind of water I'd be fishing a Storm chug bug all day long.

Jigs! I put my own together. Usually 3/8 oz is my standard flipping jig and an excite baits craw trailer, they float. Also a 3/16 oz finesse jig for colder water.

Zara Super Spook Jr.

Cavitron Buzzbait

If you need soft plastic creature baits I recommend the Havoc Pit Boss, Rage Tail Space Monkey and Zoom Baby Brush Hog. 

My go to is either a white 3/8oz Booyah spinnerbait or a 4" green pumpkin berkley power worm.

Fat Rap . They are still making   four colors.  Id get one of each. If I had to choose one it would be perch.  

All that new fangled, fancy, stuff is well and good

How about some tried and true old school stuff....

* Sluggo's

* Small, white, feather tailed, red nosed pop r's

* Double or single tailed Mr. Twister grubs

* Plastic Centipede
