What is the technique that you favor the most, that catches the most fish, in general, per hour?  

 

and does so with fair consistency.

 

 

Shakey head craw or straight tail worm. If the fish are there they usually bite it.

For me its a purple or green pumpkin worm, senko, ol monster, power worms it dosent matter. Just give it some good action

This here was an interesting read, about whoopin bass with a 3 inch senko.

I fish local city park lakes in So Cal. so they get pretty hammered. But the most productive technique for me over the years has definitely been the Drop Shot. Also I'm not catching bass every hour, if I do catch any its more like one to three per outing. I catch the skunk a lot...

It's probably a wacky Senko. But last two times out it caught only 1. The best day for numbers of bass I ever had came in a pond on a Torpedo all day long. Occasionally when a fish missed, which was rare but ithappens with topwaters, I'd throw a Senko to that spot and catch it. And they wouldn't bite just anything that day...I tried other things.

You need to get you some skunk repellent.

 

Hah....that would be a good name for an attractant scent spray - skunk repellent. 

Cut a senko in half and wacky rig it. Anything and everything will go after it. Quality will suffer but you'll catch way more fish.

Sounds like that would kill whatever action the senko had left.  

 

Might it make more sense to wacky rig a smaller senko(3 in)?

You'd think but they still attack them on the initial fall. Especially the smaller bass! It would theoretically make more sense to buy the 3" senko but theres honestly no reason to. The senkos rip up so easily that you could just rip them in half and get additional use out of the ones you're using already to wacky rig. Might as well reuse and repurpose the one that is all messed up.

For me it's easily Midwest Finesse (Ned Rig and a small hair jigs) for numbers.

My most productive technique is a T Rig for numbers and size...

Right now it's a T-rig.  

 This is simple - Texas rigged soft stick bait, mostly a five inch Yum-Dinger.  I just can't get away from the five inch Yum-Dinger Texas rigged.  I'm addicted to them!  lol. 

A tube with either an internal nose weight , or with a tube jig. That spiral fall is a kin to wacky rigging a Senko, the fish just can't resist it.

Shallow and medium diving crankbaits .

I would say senko or fluke type baits, but not always. Sometimes it's spinnerbaits, creature baits, or even jigs.

Ned rig catches them from 5" to 5 pounds and every kind of fish that swims.

For me especially big ribbon tail worms - but almost anything trigged.

I've been testing out the shakeyhead, and it's produced some of my best numbers this year. I used to think it was only for deep water, but I'm catching fish on it sometimes in less than a foot of water. 

 

Otherwise, probably a 4-inch finesse worm or senko. 

finesse t-rig or tiny jigs like the Ned.

So far this year it has been a topwater bait and a jig.

T/rig stickbait.

Numbers bait?  Easy - 5" single tail grub. Can be rigged many ways and occasionally can catch size as well as numbers. I've caught 2907 fish on 5" grubs in the last 5 1/2 seasons.  

 

Honorable mention goes to 3" and 4" stick worms - 1503 fish on them in the same period.  

 

5" grub fish...

Smaller baits = more fish.

Out of those fish the big'un number will still come up on the dice though for sure.

Lately finesse has been winning out bigtime for me. It's an ebb and flow but they are on a baitfish pattern right now in a big way.
