I would say it’s a beatle spin cos I fished farm ponds and small lakes for decades, I lived on a farm and fished every evening for two yrs except when it was cold, lots on worms and top waters too!

I can honestly say I’ve caught more bass on a 5” Senko wacky rig with a 1/0 circle octopus hook than all other lures combined. 

I’ve fished senko’s very little never had a fish on one, confidence is a big factor I guess

It depends on the time of the year, the lake, the water level, the water temp, and the weather.  I prefer spinner bait, Zero, and Ned but I will use nearly anything.

Over the years, Rebel Deep Wee-R, 7" Powerworm, 5" Slugg-o, 5" Senko, Spinnerbait, Popmax, Rage Craw, and jigs have consistently outfished all other baits I've tried.  I don't really fish the first three anymore, and I'd wager to bet that one of the reasons I doid so well with them is that I fished them almost exclusively back on the the late 80s and early 90s.  In the case of the Rebel, that's especially true.  These days, I'm a little more diverse.

For volume of fish crankbaits easily win.

Without a doubt a Senko type bait.  You pick the brand it doesn’t matter much.  Catch bass of all size on it, and have caught a bunch of peacock!

I think you can catch just as many on inline spinners, sassy shads, white single tail grubs, and beatle spins, but aging north Texas riprap not a lot of creyfish or crawdaddies mostly small shad

Bass caught per man hours fished the plastic worm, not even close for numbers.  

Number of big bass caught over 8 lbs the pig n jig, nothing comes close for numbers of big bass. 2nd would be big Swimbaits.

I haven’t tie one of these on in a long time but I’d like to have $0.10 for every smallie I’ve caught on Rebel Craw ( various sizes and patterns ).

 

No BP’s off of it. But you are not saying how you are measuring success. I’m talking shear numbers. 

I love to jig fish, flipping, pitching, deep structure, and so forth. When I was younger I would fish a spinner bait all the time. Most exciting way for me is buzzbait fishing. 

For smallmouth hands down it is a jerk bait. Produces big fish & numbers. Largemouth favorite is a lipless crank with the red eye shad by Strike King being my favorite. It's produced two PB's for me.

Bass or all fish?

 

Id like 10 cents for every trout I caught on a Panther Martin. Great in-line spinner. 

For both quantity & quality!

 

Texas Rigged Plastics ?

 

Gene Larew 7 1/2" Ringworms in Cinnamon Pepper Neon Junebug Laminate has produced over a dozen double digit bass across 5 states.

 

I remember rung worms. You remember mister twister blood worms?

Goodness.

 

My most productive numbers lure is the YUM 5" Dinger.  I've caught so many on them I keep them in my back pocket for putting a fish in the boat.  The technique has become boring to me.

 

My most productive quality lure is a half ounce jig with a floppy craw on the business end.  I love this style of fishing.

 

My most productive "today sucks" is a straight tailed finesse worm on a ⅛oz shakyhead.

By far it's a light T rig plastic worm. Various worms and weights up to 1/4 oz. Fished slow

Since I got back into fishing about 15 or 16 years ago, I have caught the largest bass on a jig and craw. Fishing just for numbers I have to say that a mid size storm subwart has been by best bait. 

No question . . . spinnerbait.

For anything I'd say a 2 inch white twister tail grub. I've had days when I've caught hundreds of fish in a day on them.

For bass I'd say a spinnerbait or the past few years a swim jig.

For big bass I'd say a jig.

 

Green pumpkin stick worm, spinnerbait, and in the summer a 10 inch power worm t rigged.

Blue Fox inline spinner, I've caught dinks and lots of 5,6, pound bass on that lure!  Been fishing it for 30 years.

   Bass? Spinnerbait.

   All species? Mepps Aglia.       jj

plastic worm...hands down...

Ridiculous. This has been the #1 bait for decades.
