If we are talking just this year and number of fish caught. It's gotta be a size 6 xrap on a ultra light. It catches everything. You don't even have to spend a lot of time fishing it to catch 20 fish or more. Then just go right back to normal gear.

Those are two of my all time favorites.

 

 I recently found a unused HH spinner but the hook is missing . I liked using them in the Mississippi river along rip rap banks and wing dams .

7.5" ribbon-tail worm, tequila sunrise or red shad, 3/16 bullet weight, pegged and a 3/0 round bend offset hook.

 

Black & blue 3/8 oz. jig with matching craw trailer

They still sell the hooks seperate. H&H Spinner Double Hooks (5/PK)

It supprises me they still have these at my Walmart but they want nearly $3 each. If I remember right I was paying like .25 a piece for them back in the day.

Caught most fish on poppers and crankbaits, caught biggest fish on chatterbait and t-rig worm.

1/2 oz black/blue jig with paddle-tail trailer.

 

3/4 oz. fairly-natural-colored spinnerbait with double-willow blades.
