what do you think

H&H

OH and the Chatterbait and Senko.  ;D  :

Beetle spin, they're great!!!

Touche FileMob!

I would say live bait.  Not very sporting, but terribly underrated by freshwater sport fishermen.

Oh I forgot.  These small Walmart brand worms with a small u tail.  ONLY in pink. (Actually called Purple or something, they just look pink.)  I've killed before with those things.  The Pink small ones are the only ones i would use.

Big Craw Worms  

weedless spoons and standard curl tail (NOT ribbontail) worms.

worden roostertail inline spinners.

the C4 minnow (developed in Vietnam)  Brings them to the top like no other !!! ;D ;D

I would have to go with a jigging spoon hands down.

I cant remember the last time I saw or heard somebody talking about using a spoon for bass.

In-line spinners are one of the most underrated lures, everybody views them as "beginner 's" lure however they caught fish back then at the age of the dinosaurs when I started to fish and they continue to catch fish now.

I agree with both inline spinners and jigging spoons.  

I have to agree that spoons and in-line spinners are very underated.  By the way, Tom Redington has mentioned spoons in  his reports recently.

You see less and less people using tubes also.    Thats not saying its under-rated, just that you don't see it being mentioned as much.

When fishing gets really tough I take a ribbontail worm and put it on a 1/8 oz jig head and just swim it slowly.  It isn't fancy, but I catch fish on it.

I agree with all the above....It's really interesting to me how tubes go in and out of favor. When the Gitzit was first intoduced, it was the Senko of its day. I still consider a tube the most versatile lure in the fishing world.

Worden Roostertails.

I have to agree with 2 people here:

In-line spinners

Beetle-spins (also known as safety pin spinners)

I have killed bass with these.

o yea how could i forget about inline spinners! one of my top favorite baits is a spinner: blue fox vibrax minnow spin!!!! that thing will catch all species of fish all day long!

Dont hear as much about rattle baits anymore as well as beetle spins or road runners

How can you NOT love the beetle spin!  ;D

ringworms

Jigging spoons are the #1 winter time bait on Toledo Bend

Ringworms are my #1 goto bait & they work  

I think alot of the old school lures are underrated anymore.All the new stuff has pushed the 6" lizard and the ribbon tail worm out of the way.

Around here,the most underrated lure is a finesse worm.

I agree about the inline spinners too but for me they are just under-sized.Tubes are a good mention as well.
