Primus reply :

5 lures... ouch! O.k. I'll try

1.Kietech Tungsten 1/4 Jig Model 1 with a 2-3/4" Yum Craw Papi trailer.

2. 5" Green Pumpkin Senko- Though weightless would be most used option it's versatile enough to fish on a weighted texas rig, Carolina rig etc.

3. Reaction Innovation Sweet Beaver- just a great fish catcher no matter how you rig it

4. 1/2 oz Strike King Red Eye Shad (Cold water) or Lucky Craft RC 1.5 (Warm Water)

5. Jackall Muscle Deep 15 Plus- there are other Deep Divers I like such as the DD 22. This one cast into the wind better and the smaller body size will also appeal to smallmouths (use in the summer)- late winter or spring I'll sub with a Pointer 100

Spinnerbait or chatterfrog

I hardly used spinnerbaits or chatterfrogs this past year. The year before, they were my best producers. Their place in the list is a sentimental choice.

If next year is like this year, I suspect there will be revisions to the list as I learn more.

Bass Junkie reply :

1. 5" Watermelon/Pearl laminate Dinger or Trick Stick. This above every other lure in my box.

2. LC RC 1.5 Copper Perch. This thing cast a mile, has great action, and crawls through laydowns better than the bass themselves.

3. 3/16 oz. Strike King Redeye spinnerbait, White. I hate buying Strike Kings, but you can't argue with this or their 1/8 oz. Firetiger buzzbaits.

4. 1/4 oz. Heddon Torpedo, Leopard Frog. Torpedos are some of the best topwaters available IMHO, and I will always leave a spot for 'em in my box.

5. 1/4 oz. Worden's Roster Tail, White. Rooster Tails will catch any fish you care to mention, from Bass and Muskie to Cats and Carp, and I've yet to find a color that will not catch fish.

BassinBoy reply :

My 5 would be:

Anything of good quality, willow leaf (silver or

gold), white with some chartreuse and orange.

Any of them kick @$$

5. Worm

Yum Paddletail 6", brown.

Big Bass Chaser reply :

Frog - have to have a top water and it has to be weedless, in this case River2Sea

Jig w/trailer - because I can fish it on the bottom, swim it, punch it, etc

Crankbait - Either an XCalibur XR 75 or a Yozuri Rattlin' Vibe (both lipless so I can target the entire water column)

Senko - 5" Green Pumpkin/Watermelon

Drop Shot - because it is so darn effective in clear water
