I'd have to go with the rat'l traps too  :'(

the helicopter lure

Frogs baits have me stumped. I know they are great baits and many good fishermen do well with them but I have never landed a bass with one. I'm not giving up on them but my confidence in those baits are at a all time low.

I want to love the Blade Dancer but it doesn't catch fish.  

Also, we don't tell people that they are full of "chit" on this forum.

I totally agree. Anyone who says that is fulla chit and is a complete azzzhole

Avid!!! You're going to get my laptop taken away...the little bit of free time I do get I cant bust up laughing!!everyone looks at me wierd!!

Omg T-rig that had me laughing so hard i had tears  ;D ;D ;D ;D

This ;D ;D ;D ;D:

Spro Bronzeye Frog! I gave them a good look and never got a bite. I went back to Horny toads.

I can't catch a thing with a Beetle Spin and I have about a dozen of them.

Helicopter lures are junk,

Gulp is garbage,

And,

Chatterbaits suck.

Maybe you're not fishing them right? They're much different then a Horny Toad. Many people have GREAT success with them.

My worst bait would have to be... anything on television, EXCLUDING the banjo minnow.

Jitterbugs. I have a bunch of them and never catch a d**n thing with them.

I agree.

In fact you should go ahead and send me your Jitterbugs so that I can dispose of them properly.

That was my story until this year! I fished them in low light situations, and put split rings on the hook holders. i varied my retrive and i caught a lot of topwater bass with them!

I bought some Bass Pro SHops brand lures way back, spinnerbaits and buzz.

The spinnerbaits were absolute garbage.  The felt like Sh!T and fished poor.  The buzz was way over weighted for prop size and I missed so many fish. The hooks were really bad to put it nicely, and buzz head ended up breaking on be after a few trips.  I also bought 2 PBS brand rods.  Both were heavy and clunky.  Never buy BPS brand gear unless you are not picky at all.

I can't "dis" the Dancin' Eel enough!!  Most unproductive lure I've ever owned.

my worst bait i have used is a chatterbait. i dont know if i am using it wrong, wrong time, or wrong area, but all i know is i cant catch a cold on these.

I would say the Dancing Eel for sure. I remember when that came out in the 80's and I begged my dad for one. I fished that as my only bait several times and didn't catch a thing. I also didn't relize we weren't at Beanville Plantation either.

Arnt we forgetting about this lure?

Thats what happens when you leave the flying lure in your car too long.  ;D

That lure is icky poo!

Probably chatterbait, I have caught my PB on it, but that's the only fish I have caught on it in like.....6 months  >

Send them to me.  I seem to always land the big fish of the day on a beetle spin when I go fishing with my buddy.  My biggest on a beetlespin so far was 6 1/4 a couple weeks ago.  My fishing buddy has a 12lber mouted that he caught on a...you guessed it, beetlespin.

to the topic- my worst lures are storm swimbaits.  maybe that'll change if they ever start producing.  i haven't really given them a fair shake though.

Here's my nominee

I've had it so long I can't ever remember what it's called. Not a hit or strike in all the long years I've had it.....maybe one day.

Styx my buddy john has one of those but his is black we were fishing once at a local reservoir, and i started laughing when it started shaking on top of the water he popped it a couple more times and had it start flapping on top of the water again then a landed a nice 3lb bass after it blew up on it.
