Super User A-Jay Posted July 31 Super User Share Posted July 31 Changes a bit every year for me ~ Last year looked like this: https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/258333-productive-baits-2023-~/ Year before looked like this: https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/252064-productive-baits-~-2022-big-fish-edition/ This year's MVB's have yet to be determined. But so far it's pretty close to what's already listed above Fish Hard A-Jay 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Rutten Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 The first four get the majority of water time due to effectiveness and rigging versatility of plastics, and also being primarily a finesse fisherman and co/backseater. Like most I'm constantly changing and evolving but these are currently my most used among many more...

Not really been fishing diving cranks or any size, haven't been fishing bladed jigs at all, haven't really fished much non frog or buzzbait topwater besides some spurts with a spook early in the spring. Looking forward to winter and throwing some hard baits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User MIbassyaker Posted August 8 Super User Share Posted August 8 I tried 3 times to make a list, but gave up. I can list way more than 10 lures that are "pretty good" or I can list fewer than 10 lures that are "must have" Here they are: -Worm -Jig -spinning blade (spinner/spinnerbait) -topwater plug (e.g., popper) -diving plug (e.g., crankbait) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
