For me it is the good ole 1/2oz Rat-L-Trap. Seems to produce for me when nothing else will.
Brayberry reply :
The old Bass Pro Shops Rc 1.5 Square Bill Crankbait cause it always produces fish
aceman387 reply :
A 5/16 oz black & blue jig with a zoom ultra vibe craw trailer in black sapphire color. I love the feeling of slow dragging a jig across the bottom and feeling the bottom through my rod.It can be a painfully slow process but it has caught me a lot of bass.

QUAKEnSHAKE reply :
Kinami Palm Tree watermelon chartreuse. They are now discontinued so grabbed 80 packages of them while on sale.
missouribigbass reply :
1/2 oz booyah buzzbait.....Simple answer as to why is because it attracts big bass and that is what I'm after! And there's nothing more exciting than a big top water blowup.

What color is your fav?
Bluebasser86 reply :
1/2oz brush jig in Texas Craw. If they'd eat that bait well every day I was on the water I wouldn't fish much else.
ColdSVT reply :
RI beaver or a Black and Blue Jig in my home lakes
But my all time fav is a LC slender pointer in ghost minnow
Bankbeater reply :
A 1/3 oz. Cordell Big-O. That is the lure I used when I started bass fishing many moons ago, and it still works today.
frantzracing0 reply :
I have a kvd 1.5 square bill in Black Back/Chart that has now caught 76 fish. Has been through 4 sets of trebble hooks and refuses to break. I have 6 others in the exact same color and none can catch them like this one.

A-Jay reply :
My Favorite Lure has change several times over the years.
As I learned a new technique, I can and do routinely fall in love with it; especially if it catches.
It's gone from a Daredevil spoon to a Rebel minnow. Next it was a Fred Arbogast Mud Bug and then a Heddon Hellbender.
Then the Hula Popper & the Jitterbug was the deal. Once plastic started to come around I was a Creme and Jelly worm. abuser. Next I think it was spinnerbaits - that one lasted a while.
Now, I'd say my favorite lure to get a strike on is a Duo Realis Pencil, it's a walking bait. Rarely are they the biggest bass (except in Mexico) but the strike is so much fun. The thump you get on a jig strike is tough to beat as the quality of the bass is usually better.
Of course all of this is sponsored by your friendly neighborhood Bait Monkey.

i cant really choose. But for now ill stick with a jig
Felix77 reply :
Currently my all time favorite lure is a Finesse Worm. Any green pumpkin-ish color. Prefer it on a Mojo Rig but it works well on a drop shot, a shakey head, split shot. You name it. Just flat out works for me.
notevenanibble reply :
green pumpkin blue flash trick worm
green pumpkin gtail worm. i use the g-tail worm like a buzzbait.
buttonreel reply :
looks good
CDMeyer reply :
My favorite bait is a Rapala DT 6 in Demon color..... I think crank baits are way more versatile than people think and use them for. If I could only use one bait it would be this, it would be tough sometimes yes, but it is so versatile
J Francho reply :
All time?
Acme Lil' Cleo
Culprit Ribbon Tail
Zara Spook
I still throw all these, except the worms are a newer plastic now.

Never limit your colors. I end up purchasing every color just to try them. On a tough day try a different color and a garlic scent. Try something out of the norm when fishing at the smaller places. I believe when practicing catch and release the fish learn our lures and scents. Don't limit your choices.
Mepps #3 Anglia gold, Brown tail
Mepps #3 Anglia silver gray tail
Mepps #4 Anglia gold, Brown tail
C-Rig 24" leader 1/8oz brass weight with a clicker with senko and brushog etc.
Presentations, let it fall on its own, or get jiggy with it as it falls.
Split shot rigged worms 6" very slow presentation.
Rapala original floater f7 blue or black
Presentation very slow reel or jerk n pause, extractive movement.
Don't be afraid to try different presentations. Break the norm.
Don't be afraid to go very slow. Wear your polarized glasses I don't care if there $5 polarized glasses from eBay they work too. Watch your lures action to see how slow you can go so the lure looks like an easy meal. I say "one thousand" when I make a complete circle on my spinning reel handle. That's how slow I go. It's one of my best fish catching speeds.
Now go out there and find your own nitch. Find your own speed.
Focus on how you crank your handle so you make a perfect circle. A perfect circle on the handle means an exact lure speed. When your lure has a rattle the sound and beat is more even. Your speed has to be perfect on one form of presentation. Remember one lure can have many presentations.
Topwater popper rebel popr blue
Presentation, cast it out, let it sit till the wake goes away then 1-2-3 pause, repeat.
Topwater spooks
Presentation, cast it out, let it sit till the wake goes away, then rip it three times to walk the dog while holding your rod tip down, then pause and repeat.
Topwater mister twister top props
Presentation, slow even speed, or a 1-2-3 pause, break it up with a longer pause. This top prop will pause almost straight up lowering the mt 4"split double tail grub trailer look life like as it falls, just don't forget the trailer hook.
Spooks with props.
Presentations, slow reel fast enough to spin the prop a slow reel even speed. Again 1-2-3 pause too or a rip n pause or walk the dog too.
Mann's classic spinner baits, 1/4oz(from shore) Colorado gold blades, white blue glimmer skirt, 4" mt white split double tail grub with a trailer hook . Slow presentation. For clear to slightly stained water.
Mann's classic spinnerbaits, 1/4oz Colorado gold blades, chartreuse skirt, 4" mt split double tail trailer grub with trailer hook. Again a slower presentation.
Don't forget a bass scent or a YUM shad, craw, or garlic scent.
For using spinnerbaits from shore I like the 1/8 & 3/16 size spinnerbaits too. I also purchase the affordable ones and add a blue glimmer skirt and trim the 4" mt split double tail grub for a trailer if you can't find the mt 2" split double tail grub. Don't be afraid to trim the larger 4" grub. Make sure you install it even on the centerline of the spinnerbaits. Having the spinnerbaits run even when it's all assembled correctly is the key to catching bass with it.
I still owe Glenn for telling me to stay with spinnerbaits, the setup and sooner or later we will have success.
I gave you my hot lures and there presentations. If you have any questions either post a question or message me. I like to see everyone here catch bass. I like helping new shore bass fisherman just getting started. I'm here to do what I can to help you for this forum. I'm no pro nor claim to be I'm just your average guy who loves to fish. But I like to see others catch fish too.
Go out there and use the different presentations. Just go out fishing to learn and practice your presentations a bass will interrupt you when you get it right.
Now if you have a lure that's not catching fish try it
somewhere you can see how it runs. You may have to use a needle nose pliers to adjust it so it runs perfectly straight.
The key to success is throwing a variety of lures, colors till the bass tell us what they want by trying different presentations. It's not luck in fishing it's skill. You can do it.
Blues19 reply :
Gonna have to go with a green pumpkin or Watermelon Red Baby Brush Hog. I love me the Albino Bronzeye frog too
Bassguytom reply :
Spring = lipless crank
Summer = robo worm on a drop shot
Fall = jig
Winter = LC pointer 78
If I could only fish one lure per season this is what I would go with. Fine print also says subject to change and must be present and on the water to win.
