Name or list lures that day in and day out catch more fish.(be honest)

1.Spinnerbait (shad pattern skirt,nickel willow blades)

2. Jig (dark brown with light brown trailer)

3. Carolina Rig (spring-3X lizard,summer-Zoom fish doctor green pumpkin,fall-back to the spinnerbait)

For me, early in the morning I would have to go with a popper.  Late morning I like a spinnerbait.  After that I usually go to a worm texas rigged or a black and blue jig with a junebug trailer.  When I go to my local lake for a typical day a fishing those are my most productive baits day in and day out.

senko,rattlin rapala in 1/2 oz. shad pattern,white spinnerbaits and black buzzbaits.

Here are some hard baits that work for me.

Bandit crankbaits- day in and out cold, warm, clear water to stained this bait catches fish

Fat free shad- great bait

Bill Norman deep little N, baby N- if you can get one to run right its a great bait

Timber tiger-my 4 wheel drive crankbait good rock bait

speed trap- I like to burn these

Big O- the older ones have a deeper rattle and is a good kicker bait

Rapala dt-great clearwater bait

Balsa boogie- great bait for shallow wood

Suddeth-tight wiggle great bait

CC shad- can be fished like a jerkbait

Lipped Rattletrap- It can be counted down oldie but goodie

Diamond shad-great vibration

Radar-10-I was impressed with this bait

Smithwick rogues-this bait still catches a ton of fish for me

Spence Scout-great 4 wheel drive bait in wood

KVD wild shiner-great bait

Spook-still produces

spit'n image- great spook bait and schooler bait

chug bug-can pop it or spook it

sugar shad-it sits upright on the bottom and you can puff the sand with it

Baby Johnny rattler-its a pop bait that spits

3d vib- yozuri rattletrap style bait thats lighter than a rattletrap that you can slow roll it like a spinnerbait.

Thunder shad- like the bagley's and others on the market they can be tunned to spook this is just one I like and catch fish with.

baby 1- great for running just under the water or running over grass

Bomber Fat A(small one)- this bait along with the baby tiny n is great for pressured fish and right after the shad hatch

torpedo-great bait

orion-great stained water bait it has a thump kinda like a spinnerbait

spoonbilled rogue- great bait for suspended fish you can sweep them and fish them like a worm

Here is a short list lol

Dude,

I don't even throw that many frickin' baits in a week. Nevermind trying to do it in a day. I would be wore out.   ;D

JT Bagwell

How many spools of line you threw in a day with all that retieing

The funny part was if you where here watching me sort though all those baits figuring out what the heck I do use and trying to hunt an peck while typing it up lol Almost hooked myself :'( lol

other stuff

zorro spinnerbait- its a short arm bait great for off color water

Hank Parker Classic-thin wire bait that with great vibration that with the tandem blades can be slowed down.

flip n spin- great drop bait with a weed guard

lunker lure buzzbait-nothing fancy just catches fish

Pro model jig/rattleback jig-I like the flat eye

zoom products

senko/kreature bait-the kreature when rigged backwards displaces more water also a great clearwater drop bait.

culprit-just an old stand by

Shad Assassin-like the fluke great jerkbait but the tail swims on the fall

strikeking tube- I like it because you can use it with or without a weight the solid head helps weight it

Tube lizard-has more bulk and has a slower fall

paddle tail worm- i like to swim these or hop them when the tail starts it has a thump that draws fish

Paca Craw- Its a tube craw worm with arms shaped like a zoom super chunk and flap on the fall(good flip bait)

strike king cyberflex jig trailers-good stuff

Snapback tubes- it floats and you can counter balance it to really slow the fall.

Someone asked what I used so there is the list and why. Cover an situation determines when and where I use them.  

Chris, It's nice to see you do have a tackle box with lures in it. (after seeing your "don't catch" list) LOL

For me the Texas Rigged plastic worm (plum in stained water and watermelon seed in clearer water) has produced more bass for me than anything else.  

If I couldn't have that I'd fish a Chrome/blue Rat-l-trap.

JT:

I don't throw that many in a season!! ;D

#1 Senkos & Ika

Top water: Spooks & Sammy

Shallow crank: Square A, Bagley BII

Lipless crank: CV 500

Jerkbait: Pointer, Rogue & Rapala

LIVE BAIT Shinners do the best for me :-X

Zoom 11 inch watermellon seed worm.

Glass_Man!  That would have been my post but I don't think that's what this forum's about. I fish artificials exclusively for largemouth and have some success, but I have never caught a smallmouth over 5 lbs on anything but live shiners. Starting tomorrow and throughout the spring I'm going to devote a couple of hours on every trip to artificials: jigs, tubes & grubs, maybe even jerkbaits and top water.  It's an experiment.

Jigs

Tubes

Salty Stickbaits...I make my own, the FatZilla

Spinnerbaits

Spinnerbaits and creature baits. I think the creature baits scare the small fish so the big fish try to couragess and kill the creature bait. LOL

Chris do you fish or tie knots all day?

For me it's an 1/8 ounce dart head with a regular sized Ika.

Rapala minnow. It might not catch big fish, but it will always catch something.

I guess I should word it like this no matter what condition or time of year or location I can trust that one of those lures on my list will catch fish. I can fish a lake and kill them on a bandit. Go back the next day on the same lake and never get a bump on a bandit then switch to a norman bait and knock them silly. I have a general idea what they are going to bite on before I make a cast and I have back up stuff if things change. In a tournament or even when I fish for fun I narrow down to maybe 3 lures. But the 3 lures are going to change from day to day but they will always be from that list. Cover, depth, water color, where the fish are relating determines what I am going to throw.

Chris, with all that tackle, where do you sit in your boat? ;D

My all time faithfull lure is the baby torpedo.  Then a purple finesse worm.  This year might change to the Goby baits.

Squid,

Goby baits?  What are they?  Is that "short" for something? ???

Its a heddon topwater lure with a prop on the end they measure 1 1/2 inches to 2 1/2 inches long.
