Write in votes welcomed. I did not include swim baits, creatues, craws, flukes, jigging spoons, chatterbaits, etc. Couldn't fit everything.

I realize that it depends on conditions and time of year, but for this, let's assume it's late spring, stable weather, and the fish will cooperate with most any presentation.

Gotta be a buzzbait.  3/8 oz. black HardHook w/ a silver blade, fished SLOWLY at the grass and lay-downs.  There's nothing better!!

Year around: 6" Senko

horny toad.

I gotta go with the tube.  I feel like I can always catch something with a small Zoom watermelon/gold tube.  Heck, I even try and buzz'em sometimes.

i like a lizzard i can seem to catch fish on them ALMOST any time. 2nd would be a horney toad.

A buzzbait all the way!

I have a tremendous amount of confidence using any type of topwater, from a buzzfrog to a skitter pop. I will throw any topwater with great confidence.

I have two............

Largemouth = Shaky head Zoom Finese worm

Smallmouth = 1/8 oz jighead inserted into a 2 1/2" tube

I coulda gone with topwater or spinnerbait but I picked topwater. Spooks!!!! ;D

Since you didn't add the creature baits then I chose Buzzbaits.  Can't go wrong there.

Largemouth: Jig

Smallmouth: Tube

Write-in vote:  the one in that 5#er's mouth that I just hauled in

Black 1/2 jig with a Zoom Chunk in Flippin Blue for green bass.

Green Pumpkin/Red Flake Salty Tube with a 1/4oz jighead, 3 1/2" for brown bass.

Spinnerbait got my vote.

I have a ton of confidence in cranks. When I am having a tough day i can usually tie one on and nail a couple.
