Creme Scoundrel 6" worm.

Manns Jelly worm and Larew salt Craw .

love me some bomber model A in all sizes an shapes.  i need another crankbait pole/rod because i have this one model A that stays tied on.  its got tons of teeth marks on the sides.  i have also have 2-3 more of the same size/color in case this one gets lost, fingers crossed i don't need them for a long time! 

 

i also like jitterbugs, tiny torpedo.  these also seem to be low key baits. 

Senko, Trick worm, Gold Rat-L-Trap

Silver Buddy style blade baits, I make 'em myself

Bucktail jigs, also homemade

Sluggo

Snagless Sally

 

Tom

I love my Strike King Bitsy Jigs! I've caught more fish in those jigs than any other jig I have! They are one of my favorite lures!

In-line spinners  

 

Sluggos are not a good answer for an underrated bait, sluggos were never underrated, sluggos were simply forgotten by newer anglers in favor of other baits, they are now retro baits that still live amongst us old farts that used to fish with them. 3" sluggos are deadly d-shot baits ( or should I say " hook above sinker rig " ?  )

jitterbug

4" Powerbait worm and 1/8oz white spinnerbait w/Colorado blade, deadly on the river here..

Zoom 6" Deadringer in redshad

10" Mann's Jellyworm, or 12", or 8"

Inline spinner.

Creme Scoundrel 6" worm.

and the 4" Scoundrel in the Live color on a Drop Shot

Zoom speed craw.

Power bait 7" curly tail worm

Rapala Xrap slash baits

In general those are 2 I use and have success with I never see anyone using.

hands down for me is a mepps inline spinner with white feathers/silver blade and a 4 inch run of the mill grub in white or smoke hooked weightless ive caught fish on these when they wont eat anything else. oddly enough that's the only time I go to them though...

Hair jigs, float and flies and leech pattern jigs.

Zoom 4" dead ringer. Black, watermelon, and cherryseed.

 

Rebel wee r. It has a great action and was "the" square bill before all the rage came about In one of the classics KVD won.

Livetarget HFC, I never hear of people using/talking about these.

Luhr Jensen Speed Trap in Crystal Craw.

Sluggo

6" twister tail worm

Triple Ripple 9" ribbon tails

Original Crème Midgit crawler rig and worms...

 

Rebel Jumpin Minnow T10 and T20

 

Reaction Strike Lipless Crankbaits-lV-65 & LV 75 -Tungsten in head caused them to sit like a Spro etc, plus they have a flat body, unique shape, and sounds different like it is filled with sand. I have day's when I do better with this $6 lure than any other lipless crank and buy a large margin....I love the Pumpinseed color, Royal Shad, White red eyes.

 

Yo-zuri Floating Trembler Edge Minnow as it barely dives and flashes bright colors and casts easily for it's size.

 

Rebel Jointed Original Minnow, Exude Fan Tail Shrimp with rattle in mouth, identical bait in shape and profile to the Havoc Slop craw....I love the saltwater glow colors and pinks etc..Fill it with a rattle or megastrike and it is a great bait....

 

But my favorite...D.O.A. Chug Heads and Hot Heads for soft baits, Long Neck hooks for their grubs which Gene Larew copied this year with the Rally grub...

I almost forgot my new favorite swimbait Next to the SPRO BBZ, actually I would put them equal, but the Egret Kick a Mullet wake bait/Glide bait, Heavy Thump for $10...It puts the S Waver, Savage, Gyron, and other's to shame, I would throw the Egret kick a Mullet over any swimbait except the Spro BBZ on some days, but in heavy cover nothing is better in my opinion....I like the super slow sink/Suspend....Hooks are Money, casts a mile, calls in big fish from long distance, Every time someone sees me use it they order a bunch.....I think Stanley is behind Egret Baits....I just grabbed the VUDO swimbait for $6.99 which seems Identical to the Bass Pro swimbaits in texure and action but have not used it enough to say if it is great... 

 

Kick A Mullet...Saltwater companies don't mess around and nobody pays silly money for cheaper lures that have a nice paint job until you get a few fish....The paint never comes off as well, I think they can be found for $6.99, but one, trust me on this one....

Mann's Augertail Worm

S-Waver 168. It's not that it's a magic bait or anything, its just small enough that you will catch all sizes of bass on it, and at least in my area they have never seen anything like it. Also does a good job revealing fish to follow-up on later.

 

Besides that I would say a weightless ultravibe speed craw fished like a buzzbait. The sheer numbers that bait will produce is crazy when conditions are right.

Probably a jigging spoon. I fish them year round and in a lot of situations that others don't/won't and they catch me a ton of fish, including lots of different species and some big fish. 

Mann's Augertail Worm

 

Those and the Manipulator worm(rip) are great plastics!
