Basically any weedless bait that sinks to the bottom and catches fish if I just drag it with a twitch every now and then.  If I had to pick one then it's a dice toss between a carolina rigged senko (basically a pegged bullet sinker distanced from senko, no swivels or beads) and a jig and pig (plastic not pork).

When they are chewin' everything in sight, I have two favorites. #1 is the crankbait. #2 would be something I can pitch, usually a jig.

Crankbaits and t-rigged plastics.

x2!!!!

If they are really feeding then I will go to a two rod approach. I will throw a rod that has some kind big fish lure on like a jig and pig and a rod with another bait that catches a lot of numbers like a spinnerbait.

3" crankbait that I painted

1/4 oz white buzzbait if the tops on fire and my super secret tube if things are hot under the drink

i was watching a show and they were talking about changing it up when the bite is hot. They said when the fish are aggressive its a good time to experiment with lures when the bite is tough and you experiment you may find lots of things that dont work but if you experiment when the bite is hot no telling what you would find out,along with gaining a ton of confidense on lures that you wouldnt normally throw

When the bit is on, I will usually be throwing a spinnerbait or a shallow running flat side crankbait.  If it were in a tournament setting I would more than likely upscale the size of my bait since you can only weigh 5 and I would be able to sacrifice the bites in order to get a kicker.  But its hard to beat a 1/2oz double willowleaf spinnerbait retrieved just under the surface when they are on!  I can't ever get enough of that.  

Whatever catches the most fish that day  ;D

spinnerbait

buzzbait

trap

crank

Notice that they are all baits that cover lots of water fast.  No reason to fish slow if the fish are in a frenzy.

When the bite is real good, that's when I like to change up a lot.  Try some of the things I have been throwing around in my head.  Get a bite on it and move on to another new bait.  This gives me the confidence to throw these newer baits again in the future.  

My all time favorite lure is the Rat-L-Trap, in FireTiger, I just have confidence in using it.  2nd I would have to use a Spinner Bait, either Red/Black or White/Chartruese depending on the water clearity ofcourse. Then I guess it would be a toss up between a Football Jig with a trailer, or a Texas rigged Soft Plastic Stick Worm, for that Spring fishing, the bigger the better, but atleast a 5" worm.

When the fishing is really good, that's the time to throw your favorite topwater bait.  Theres nothing like the explosion of a bass hitting a topwater lure. My favorites...a buzzbait, a Jitterbug, a rubber frog, a Sammy.  (Don't make me narrow it down to just one. :-/)

When the fishing is really good, I'll normally take that opportunity to experiment with different lures and retrieves,

usually any lure except my "go-to" lure.

But when the fishing is really tough I find myself leaning heavily on "paddletail worms".

Lately, other lures have been jumping on the 'paddletail bandwagon' such as senko and basstrix.
