I don't use ten but

 

1A. 7 inch berkely power worm (pumpkinseed)

1B. zoom baby brush hawg watermelon red/ watermelon red magic

2. strike king  (smokey shad)

3. berkely power grub

 

I use a variety of the power worm from black, black/chartruese, motor oil, electric grape etc. The pumpkinseed color seems to be most consistent. I catch a good amount of fish with just the four I have listed.


fishing user avatarMCS reply : 

10? that is a lot for me.

1. Grande Bass rattlesnake in Junebug or trophy hunter

2. Zoom Trick Worm in redshad or junebug

3. 7-10" Ribbon tail worm in fire/ice, blues or purples with green flake, or redshad

4. Zoom Horny toad black/yellow swirl

5. Fluke type bait, shad or baby bass color

6. Senko type bait in black w/ blue flake and w/ a blue tip

7. 6" lizard in watermelon seed

8. 3" grub in black, white or smoke w/ black flake

9. Vibe style worm in redshad or houdini

10. boot tail swim bait in a natural color.

 

I usually carry a few of these with me at a time depending on what my plan is.

This is what is in my tacklebag pretty much all year long. If I had to make a substitution due to colder weather, it would be to trade the Ribbit out for a Berkley Powerbait 7.5" worm in Tequila Sunrise.
