Favorite all around tackle brand? 2025
Kyle S reply :
What brand of tackle do you have the most of? Zoom? Strike King? Live Target??? I've found myself leaning towards Strike King products quite often and am curious as to what you guys prefer.
CroakHunter reply :
Strike King and Berkley are my favorite soft and hard baits.

NittyGrittyBoy reply :
1. Strike king here too. Crank baits, jigs, rage tails, topwater. Good products
2. Zoom soft plastics.
3. I do have a good selection of smithwick baits thought
JWall14 reply :
Zoom for plastics and whatever’s cheapest for hardbaits.
JustALineWetter reply :
Mepps for spinners
Rapala for crankbaits
Berkley for worms/lizards
Yamamoto for Senkos.
Others - catch-as-catch-can
thedilettantedad reply :
Overall - Zoom.
fin reply :
Zoom and H2O Academy brand lures are the best values usually and cover most of what I need, but there are lots of things that only other companies make that are indispensable. There's no one company that has everything I need.
stratoliner92 reply :
Soft Plastics - Zoom, NetBait
Hard Baits - Strike King because I can't find enough sales on Lucky Craft and Megabass I want????????

This is me also. I fish others as well be I can get by consistently with just these two. Have fished Rapalas since a kid.
Dens228 reply :
I forgot to list War Eagle for spinnerbaits.
EGbassing reply :
Zoom for soft plastics and strike king for hardbaits definitely.
Log Catcher reply :
Zoom for soft plastics. Bandit and Norman for crank baits. War Eagle for spinner baits. Just getting started using 6th Sense crank baits but have not had much luck with them yet.
RHuff reply :
Rapala because they also produce storm, sufix, vmc, and terminator, which covers 80% of it for me..
Oregon Native reply :
Tubes/grubs....Dry Creek
Jigs....mine
Spinner baits...War Eagle mostly
Swim baits...Kietec
Most other plastics...Zoom
Hardbaits....wow....many many brands...this is eye candy
NYWayfarer reply :
Z-man and Berkley cover most of my fishing needs.
Hawkeye21 reply :
I'm a big fan of Z-Man. I started with their chatterbaits and now use their soft baits as well. I love Gary Yamamoto baits but I can't stand replacing them after almost every fish. I haven't found anything as durable as the Elaztech baits yet.
Tizi reply :
My favorite crankbaits -vintage Mann's (razorback, deep pig, bowfin, etc)
Modern crankbaits - Berkley and 6th Sense
Plastics - Mann's, Berkley, Zoom
Spinnerbaits - War Eagle, Strike King
Jigs - Siebert
Swbass15 reply :
Plastics: Yamamoto and strike king lil bps
cranks: strike king
topwater: river2sea and rebel
Brock_v reply :
Hardbaits - 6th sense
jigs - dirty jigs
plastics - I fish rage tail products alot but also like some zoom, Berkely and missle stuff I think that every company has a bait that they make really well
scaleface reply :
Berkely for hard baits . Their crankbait lineup covers everything .
Hook2Jaw reply :
For me, YUM covers my soft plastics, except for Berkley's Hollow Swimbait. Berkley and H2O cover my hard baits. Booyah covers my jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and hollow body frogs. VMC covers my terminal tackle. H2O handles my tungsten. Lead? Whatever.
Been a bit underwhelmed with H2Os jerkbaits, has anyone used Berkley's Cutter and Skinny Cutter line?
tander reply :
Z Man for plastics and Bandit for crankbaits.
Glaucus reply :
Based on this past season, probably Z-Man. I spent all season chasing river Smallies. I like the Ned Rig, I like their mini chatterbait, and I started using their TRD Craw as a trailer for the Bitsy Bug. Then it would have to be Strike King for their KVD squarebills and, of course, the Bitsy Bug jigs. I also use 75 and 90 Whopper Ploppers and 4 and 5 inch Senkos.

River Smallmouth love the Z-man TRD Tubez on a Shroomz head jig.
I will have to try the TRD Craw.

The TRD Craw is amazing. I liked it on a traditional ShroomZ Jighead. I had been using the Baby Rage Craw for the Bitsy Bug. Didn't even register in my mind to use the TRD Craw until I saw that my favorite kayak angler and river smallie chaser on YouTube switched from using a Kalins grub on his Bitsy Bug to using the TRD Craw. Amazing results.
Oregon Native reply :
Oops....forgot...do love those TRD's.
