Like a lot of guys, I like fishing a variety of
techniques. It's mostly about having fun with
different gear. However, if my goal (or yours)
was simply to "catch more fish", I would fish
nothing but soft plastics: 5" Senko and Fat Ika
in shallow water, weightless; Mizmo Grande
tube and Rage Tail Lobster in deeper water,
weighted.
Throw a Chug Bug, spinnerbait, jig and an
XCalibur in the mix and you have a complete
tacklebox!
I think Catt has caught all, or at least most,
of his double digits on a 7 1/2" Gene Larew
Salty Ring Worm. Maybe that is the ONLY bait
a guy really needs!

While I certainly cannot compare the waters, nor my experience and ability....for years and years, the only thing I needed for a big bass around here was a 7" ribbontail worm. The funny thing is, the past two years, I've gotten away from them, but I've still caught plenty of big (for around here) bass.
I think it comes down to knowing where your big fish are, and what they want. The bait often times doesn't really matter, unless you addressing some difficulty in fishing - cover, wind, waves, depth, current, etc. For me, I like trying out new baits. I've found most do catch, if you've got the rest of the pieces put together. But, you can NEVER go wrong plying it out with a 7" worm. They pretty much always work, and they can be fished in so many ways.

I'm going to go with versatility as opposed to my favorite baits though some of the listed baits could be on that list
1. Yamamoto Doubletail Hula Grubs- cold water/ warm water, largemouth or smallmouth, swim it, hop it, shake it, football jig, flipping jig trailer this will catch fish no matter how you rig it.
2. 4" Single tail grubs- also extremely versatile
3. 5" Senko- enough said, great bait for a tough bite.
5. Tube- great for smallmouth or largemouth . Flip it,drag it, whatever you do with it will put fish in the boat
6. Zoom Super Fluke- a must have. In addition to weightless I like to use the " Petey Rig" . A short app 12" leader with a 1/16 oz sinker, a great rig in tough conditions
7. Robo worms for drop shot & Shakey Heads
seven inch Berkley Power worm
four inch power worm
Paca Craw
Paca baby craw
Sweet Beaver
Zoom lizards
four inch finese worms for shakey head.
Ain't that the truth... :-[
