1. Wave Worm Tiki Stick

2. Lucky Craft Pointer 100SP

My top producers for this past year have been

1. 5 and 6 inch senkos

2. Flappin Hog

3. Rattle Trap

4. GYCB Kreature

5. I'm embarrassed to post this one, but the freakin thing catches so many fish.  When the usual stuff doesn't work, I throw a 4 inch Banjo minnow.  Works every time.

Hula Popper...I'll never...ever....ever go Bass fishing without one.

Jitter bug. Great producer, fun to play with on the water.

Rapala floaters. I don't use them a lot, but I think they are a great lure.

Rapala countdown. I love using them. My vote for the greatest lure ever. I have caught a lot of different species of fish with them, from sunfish to pike.

I don't know if the Senko is the greatest, but it is a top notch soft bait.

Zara spook. Another great producer that is fun to play with on the water.

The best bait ever is still the one mother nature makes. I have yet to see anything that can outproduce an actual live worm. Little worms all the way up to the biggest night crawlers.
