As experienced bass anglers, what, in your opinion, is the single most groundbreaking bass lure invented in this century?

Wow, many to choose from.
I’m going with Senko.

swhit140 reply :
I feel the plastic worm because it can be utilized/rigged in so many different ways and situations.
fishballer06 reply :
This century? As in post 2000? Or as in the past century (100 years)? There's a big difference there.

Past century

Plastic worm .
Mobasser reply :
My own answer is Nick Cremes invention of the plastic worm. Without this, there may not have ever been a Senko. Every plastic bait since was influenced by his invention

Exactly what I was thinking too. That's the game changer for sure. It changed how we all fish for bass ever since
JediAmoeba reply :
Anyone saying senko really means plastic worm. It has to be the plastic worm.
Jaderose reply :
The Whole Century? All of them.
FryDog62 reply :
1) Senko
2) The bubble tail Caffeine Shad
3) Chatterbait
J._Bricker reply :
#1-plastic/rubber worm and a plug bait a close second...
cgolf reply :
Technically the plastic worm for developing mass market soft plastics
Plastics for me though are a 3-5" grub and a tube. These are far and away my most consistent producing baits over many years.
GreenPig reply :
Creek Chub Fintail Shiner made an impact.
NorthernBasser reply :
Spinnerbait.
I mean, who in their right mind would create something that looks like that, and expect it to actually work.
Dwight Hottle reply :
Jig

Well.....that depends on Perry's memory he originally said it was a Creek Chub Wiggle Fish.

Gitzit...know your origins Bobby and Garry Garland invented this lure, still related to Nick Creame soft plastisol.

I don't know the answer to who created the safety pin design spinnerbait? Before the single wire spinner bait was the twin spins like Shsnnon and Bill Haddock. My 1st exposure to the single arm spinnerbait was at lake Roosevelt in AZ while going to AZ State in the early 60's.

scbassin reply :
I believe the plastic worm was given that distinction.
soflabasser reply :
Hard to choose just 1 lure as the biggest achievement in bass fishing in the past Century but I would say soft plastic lures are probably number one. Lots of good soft plastics to choose from such as Ned rig, Trick worm, Super Fluke, and other types of soft plastics.
Fishes in trees reply :
When I got seriously into bass fishing ( mid 70's - post college - when I had a modest amount of disposable income to play with), I knew about plastic worms, tried them now and again, but just couldn't get bit on them regularly ( 99% farm pound fishing ). The bait that got me addicted, that convinced me that I could go get dinner out of nearly any farm pond my truck could get to, was a pork bait. The #11 pork frog, split tail eel, twin tail, later the flipping frog, these were the baits that worked for me. At the time, MUCH more consistent action than any soft plastic I was aware of. I used them mostly as swim baits fishing them deep enough that I occasionally touched the bottom, but not so slow and deep that I got hung up.
It was later, when Fishing Facts magazine finally convinced me to try Brewer Slider worms, that I got into soft plastics.
Baitcasters and serious gear addiction came a few years after that, once I got consistent access to a boat.
Shimano_1 reply :
I'm gonna go with a jig also. Several deserve a mention like the senko/worm. While extremely versatile, the jig is the only bait period that I have tied on year round anywhere I go
Bird reply :
Hmmm may have to give plastic worms a try. ????

Loved Uncle Josh #11 pork trailers for my jig fishing.
Are the around anymore?

Uncle Josh stopped producing those late 2015/early 2016. Now-days the only place you can find them is on E-Bay at hideous prices.
