Title says all, for me it would be the Shad Rap. I have some with the lip completely beat up from banging off rocks and haven't had any luck with them. So I don't think the problem is not fishing them as often, I just tend to do a lot better with the Flicker Shads. 

I'd also like to add that the purpose of this thread is not to bash popular lures/brands but rather to compare results.

Looking forward to seeing what popular lures haven't lived up to expectations and more importantly which underrated or less common lures have produced better results.

Buzzbaits... Nada, zilch, zamboni.

Flukes... I just can't seem to make it work. If you had asked this question in October, I would have included Senkos. Only caught 3 bass on them since then.

Zara Spook . I have caught fish with it but my hook up percentage is so low that I havent thrown one in years , Bad part is I can work it well . Walking the dog is simple . I can half step it around a stump . Just havent had much success with the things .

 

I cant think of any popular lure that I gave a good go with  and have been skunked on it .

wake baits.... i just gave up on them....

Top water frogs. The only kind of frog I can catch fish on is a rebel buzz n' frog. When it comes to hollow body I have absolutely no success. My last 3 fishing trips i threw exclusively hollow bodied frogs and I got nothing. Other than that I catch fish on everything else.

I have definitely caught fish on them, but aside from a small window in pre spawn, I never really do much with lipless crankbaits. 

Tubes. I have caught fish on them, but I can count them on one hand. Also, the Havoc pit boss. I've been on private ponds where they bite anything, and still have yet to catch a fish on a pit boss

 

Soft Plastic Lizards, it could be that I just started bass fishing in the late summer. 

Lipless cranks.  I still carry 2 but anymore they almost never come out the box.  I've lost all confidence in them but know they must catch fish for someone.

chatter baits

Chatterbaits and yes I have given them a fair chance.

Jigs

Brush Hogs!

Kill em on Baby Brush Hogs

Swim Jig...Spinnerbaits no problem...Swim Jigs = Goose Egg!

I have a Bart Simpson lure that has actually caught some fish. His head did break off on a cast though which made the lure run better.

And lizards, I hate lizards with a passion. Love a baby brush hog though

Beetle Spins. I think in all of the years I have used them I have caught one fish.

Buzzbaits. I can't even catch a cold with one.

I really and truly feel sorry for you guys who aren't throwing buzzbaits. 

Alabama rig

Pit bosses have only produced one fish for me in two years, and while it's more of a setup than a lure, for all the hype surrounding the Ned rig, I'm of the opinion bass actually swim away from the area when I'm throwing it.

I did too. Until the 6th sense lipless 70s came out. I didn't catch any huge ones, but lots of numbers.
