It's hard to narrow it down to three baits, because I have confidence in many different baits. My absolute favorite technique is deep cranking, but it's not always effective, so I can't say that I have the most confidence in deep crankbaits. Looking at your question as if I had to pick only three baits to use with no knowledge of the body of water, I would pick:

1. Texas Rigged Gene Larew Salt Craw

2. Strike King Red Eye Shad

3. 1/8 oz Shaky Head with a Zoom Finesse Worm

I feel like I can catch fish on one of those three baits, under a variety of conditions, on just about any given day.

pop-r...almost anywhere that weeds don't come to surface

buzzbait...over the flats and in alleys through reeds, etc

flipping a producto worm...in reeds and slop

1. T-rigged power worm

2. Fat ika

3. Outcast rt jig w/ chigger craw

Terminator Green & White Spinnerbait

Lucky Craft RC1.5 Blue back over chartreuse

Zoom Trickworm Junebug, Green Pumpkin, or Bananaseed.

Zoom 5" fluke anywhere shallow and or grassy

1/2 oz spinnerbait with generic worm tail trailer.

Dark colored rattle trap.

Bandit 200 Pearl with Chartruse back

Texas rigged Rage Craw, green pumpkin

Jewel Eakins Jig, Rage Trailer.

All of them work great when fished in timber. The crank is also effective around chunk rock.

Zoom Super Fluke (Baby Bass, Watermelon)

Zoom Trick Worm (White, Junebug, Redbug)

Rage Craw or Baby Rage Craw (Okee Craw, Bama Craw)

ALWAYS catch fish with those baits.

1. Zoom Trick Worm (red shad)

2. Senko or yum dinger (black/purple fleck/junebug)

3. Roostertail or Mepps ( perfect to use on my high pressured ponds/lakes)

Structure and vegetation

1. Brovarney baits swim jig in crappie color with a single tail grub salty fat albert pearl trailor

2. Weightless Rage Tail Eeliminator worked on top (3 of my 5 biggest bass came on this)

3. T rigged rage tail smokin rooster.

1. Northstar bluegill double willow spinnerbait

2. series 5 Strike King chart. sexy shad crankbait
