Just curious, what lure do you guys use to catch the most bass, rather than big bass? Quantity, not quality bass.
finesse. most will say dropshot or ned rig
For me it's always been either a Senko or a Fluke.

Wacky rig or flick shake senko. A zoom trick worm or jackall flick shake worm gets more bites from smaller fish because of the smaller profiles.
Finesse worm or a senko for most places.

I love trick worms.
Ned Rig
Another "Ned Rig" vote

Texas rigged 6 inch Jelly Worms . They will put bass after bass in the boat and catch the big ones if you get it in front of them .
weightless Texas rigged 3" Senko.
4" senko/knock-off - wacky
4.75" Zoom Finesse Worms - wacky, TX
Zoom Tiny Flukes - mojo
Drop shot does it for me, but everyone swears by the Ned rig. I'll probably give the Ned rig a go this year.
3" grub on a 1/4oz ball jig or texas rig.
Almost the same as turtle... 4" grub on a 1/8 oz darterhead is tough to beat for numbers and an occasional biggin
Many have already stated Trick Worm. I agree. But, the spinnerbait can put fish in the boat faster than anything I've ever fished with when conditions are right.

I actually bought some darter heads a few week back, to try with a grub. How do you fish them, just a simple steady retrieve, or do you have to use the rod to add action?
If they're active you can pretty much choose whatever you'd like to do because they'll all work. That being said, the simplest thing to do is let it sink to the bottom and just start a slow steady retrieve (oftentimes they'll pick it up before it even has a chance to reach the bottom). Get ready for a case of bass thumb.

I'll 2nd that all day. These Jelly Worms catch fish they have been doing is all my life.
Lure?
No, technique!
Texas rigged plastic!
Give me a hook, a weight, a piece of plastic & I will catch bass!!
For over 60 years fishing bayous, the white spinnerbait (1/4 oz) is a numbers bait for me!
Just for sheer numbers if its warm a craw colored lipless and a black Zoom Finess Worm on a drop shot when it's cold.
If I had $20 to spend I would buy 3/0 worm hooks, senkos, and bullet weights. If I have more cash to spend ewg hooks, drop shot hooks, and baby brush hogs. So many options and the best rigs to catch numbers. T-rigs and wacky rigs.
5" Senko, Fat Ika, Ned rig
Somehow no one mentioned the old school Mepps spinner. You're going to catch dinks, and virtually every species in the water, but an old school in-line spinner on 4-6lb test line will catch something even when virtually everything else is shut down.

Extreme Shaky head with a Rage menace. It's a dish catching machine.

Zenith shaky head tipped with a Reaction Innovations smallie beaver will catch a ton of fish.
6inch worms texas rigged no matter the time or season. Darker color, preferably pumpkin green
Which lure catches the most bass? I am just curious,and want to find a really reliable bait.
You have 30 replies in your other post asking the same exact question. Read them.
Funny thing is I don't fish any of those lures at all, I use the trick worms as tails for my rat. But that's it

but....I agree...your other post asks the exact same question.
Honestly, I too really wouldn't consider any of those exact baits. For shallow fish a Super Fluke or Senko weightless and for deeper fish a drop shot or a Texas Rig depending upon bottom composition.
After reading some of your other threads I must conclude you work for Zoom. That would be pretty cool if you did. I love Trick Worm.
Just wanted to find the best go to lure.....
Sometime you just have to go with your gut feeling. Asking questions is great, and if you don't know ask. There is no dumb questions. But if you had cash enough to buy everything you are told or see you'd have a lot of cash tied up and no fish in the boat. Depending where you are all situations are different.
You're best go to lure is exactly how it sounds, it's your own personal favorite out of those. Whatever you have the most confidence in fishing, you'll get equally different answers with all baits because everyone has confidence in different things. These baits aren't that expensive either, get online or in your local tackle store and get a few packs of your top 2-3 selections and play with the rigging and presentation of those baits. Then you will be able to figure out what suits you, because it's hard to throw something that you aren't catching fish with because someone else says it works. If you don't have confidence in it, no matter what it will not catch fish.
Senko.
Ned rig and it's not even close.
A 3" senko is very hard for me to beat when I'm going only for numbers of fish. I usually wacky rig it and catch a lot of small fish on it. It's one bait I'm confident I can get a bunch of small fish on at most any pond.

^^here's your answer
they're all the best bait, on that day, at that time. if there were a definitive answer to your question, there would be 98% less posts on the tackle forum.
I voted trick worm. If the stick was 5" I would have voted for that.. just never caught any fish on 3" sticks. I've caught plenty on cut down 5" sticks that were 3-4" but thats not the same as a 3" stick.
Mr Ned gets me the most bites, hands down, no contest
I'll add the 4" Ringworm or Swimmin Ribster in black n gold.
Black trick worm.
4" Senko
4 inch do nothing worm by charlie brewer……………by far the best quantity fish getter for me.
sorry, 4 inch slider worm, not a do nothing…..my mistake
I picked a fluke, but for me it is really a toss up between a fluke and a 3" Stik-o.

OP do you even ned?

I do, but even with a weed guard they are easily snagged.
Yamamoto shad shaped worm t-rigged or on a darter head , really good numbers bait.
Hands down the ned rig for sure, nothing else even comes close.

I'm guessing you're using too large of a hook or too heavy of a head. I fish them a lot and rarely snag them up even around cover. If you use a light head (3/32oz or less), with a small hook (#1 or #2 on the heads I pour), the hook barely clears the bait. This protects the hook from snags and the bait is so soft that when a fish eats it, the hook is easily exposed for the hook to be set. I pour some with a double fiber guard but never use them because there's really no need to.
Zoom fat albert grub on a darter head works for me. Simple and compact, comes in many colors, can be hopped on the bottom or worked fast through the water or anything in between.
You might want to add the Ned rig to that poll list, you already have eight un-official votes and counting for it.?

I actually just got some darter heads aswell for a new lake I'm going to, to fish for spotted bass I fished them at a local pond with a rage menace and can honestly say I had no idea what I was doing.
