pointers.

year in, year out, they just seem to out produce the others.

Doesn't matter to the smallies as long as it's windy.

Pointer

LC Staysee

Pointer 100 DD = bass magnet

I don't like to pick just one. It all depends on where and when you fish. I fish Rapala Husky Jerks and X-raps, Smithwick Rogues, and Lucky Craft Pointers and have some luck with all of them. But if I have to pick one, I agree with FBL. I seem to catch fish every time I use the 100 DD.

1 Pointer

2 Squad minnow 95

I throw a mix of jerkbaits from Rapala, Lucky Craft, Yozuri, Jackall etc.  and they all seem to have their time as the hot jerbait. Two that haven't been mentioned but are very productive baits are the LC Flash Minnow (runs a little shallower than the Pointer which is some times a plus when the weeds are closer to the surface) and I've been very impressed with the one Ima Flit that I bought in the Ghost color (I definetly plan on picking up a few more this winter).

 

I think we have a race between the pointer and the X rap.

;D

Simple solution: Fish them both!

I think the LC Pointer and Rapala Husky Jerk are the better choice

most of the time, but when bass are very active and aggressive,

the X-Rap is my weapon of choice.

husky jerks, x-raps, and bomber long a's

I chose "other". I do best with Rapala Huskyjerks, luckycraft slender points are definetly #2 though for me.

I pretty much fish a huskyjerk and when I can't get a hit on the huskyjerk I switch to the Lc slender which sometimes gets me a hit when the huskyjerk couldn't. Although I've had times where I switched from the Lc slender which wasn't getting bit, to the huskyjerk which proceeded to get me bit. So its been fairly balanced between the two. All in all though, the huskyjerk has caught me more fish so thats what the bait Im going with.

I will say this though, in my opinion the Lc slender point has better action then the huskyjerk, but I find the slender point has a more aggressive action to it, while the huskyjerk has more of a "finesse" type of action. When I reach for a jerkbait its typically when the water is pretty cold, so maybe thats the reason Huskyjerks work better for me, because they're action is less aggressive, therefore the fish being unaggressive in these cold waters are hitting it. All I know is I've caught plenty of bass on huskyjerks  ;D.

Husky Jerk followed by the Vision 110.

How about the original Rapala Husky?  Anyone still fishing those or are they just a collectors item now?  I lost my last one five years ago.

My favorite is one you don't see much anymore: Cotton Cordell's Redfin.  It's an oldie but goodie that works better for me than anything I have tried.  

Megabass Vision 110 -I like the Ito Natural color but I'm not sure they are still being produced. You can still find them though.

I would go with lucky craft. They have always worked for me!  8-)
