Chatterfrogs, the new #1 on my list.

Strike King spinnerbaits (Premier Bleeding Bait, Red Eye special (smaller size), Mr. Money (I've only seen it at WalMart)

     My progression of trailers on the spinnerbaits.  3" Mister Twister curly tail grub, 5" MT curly tail grub, and now, the Chompers Twin Tail Grub.  All doused liberally with Yum LPT Crawfish scented attractant.

Mepps Black Fury with chartreuse or flourescent red/orange spots sizes 3 and 4.

Sencos, 4 and 5 inches (4" currently in favor), Zoom U Tail, motoroil/chartreuse, creature baits.

Heddon Super Zara Spook Junior

Owner Sled Heads, Luck "E" Strike perfect finesse worm and perfect worm jig heads.  Assorted weights and hook sizes for both makes.

Sam pretty much summed it up, lures you should have in your T-box: all of them cuz all of them catch fish one time or the other, which types, all you can get your hands on, how many and which ones, it 's personal preference, so let 's say that we are talking

Topwaters, there are several types of topwaters:

Walk the dog type

Wobblers

Chuggers & popers

Prop baits

You want to have at least one of each type, which ones, well I would say that for walk the dog type the Sammy is hard to beat, for wobblers the good ole Jitterbug, for chuggers you can get a Chug Bug and for poppers the ole Hula Popper, for prop baits the Heddon Torpedo is a classic. Of course there are lots of brands from where to choose, lots of names there but how many of each and which ones you choose.

The same applies to cranks, they are divided in

lipless

lipped:

flat.- super shallow, shallow, mid depth, deep depth, extra deep

fat:- super shallow, shallow, mid depth, deep depth, extra deep

And you can divide some more

Floating

Sinking

Suspending

With rattles

Silent

Worms, oh boy !, we 've got straight tail, ribbon tail, C tail, G tail, U tail, paddle tail, stickbaits, lengths from 3 to 10-12", colors ? gee wee, lots from where to choose.

Spinnerbaits:

by blade types.- colorado, indiana, tennessee, willow,

by number of blades.- single, double, tandem, multi.

And so on, all of them work, so, which ones ? all of them
