I start out with Chatterbait or Spinnerbait. Then will move to a jig or senko. Topwater if early or evening (frog, whopper plopper). I have all these lures and colors and my son uses 1 lure - a TRD Ned rig. 
 

The kid will pull in fish left and right and while I am trying to catch the “bigger” ones. I always end up switching to NED hook with a small TRD or small paddletail Swimbait. Those two always catch fish and can catch big ones but mostly small ones. 
 

I love trying different methods but it makes it really hard when that is the only thing he uses and just crushes it. I always end up switching and having success because of pressure to keep up (We caught about 25 bass tonight on them) - 3 on topwater buzzbait and frog. 
 

Do you ever get pressured into throwing different lures depending on who you are with and how they are doing. 

My Son who is now 47 yrs old, is  a drop shot fanatic. He might try a couple of different baits, but always goes back to the DS when things get slight tough. Me, I like to power fish, and I explain to him that while he may catch more bass, and usually smaller ones at that, I'm looking for the larger Mom's in the water, and as such that are not nearly as easy to catch.

I then remind him that all the lakes we fish together I've caught the most and biggest bass.. he hates it when I bring that up. All n all, I much rather fish with him than fish solo, and the important thing is, we always have a great time, no matter even if we both get skunked.
