What would you say your Go-To soft plastic bait is, please exclude the senko or any other stick bait, just too many people use them and im starting to get bored of em. So I was wondering which softbait worked best for you other then the stickbait category. Mine would have to be a 4inch Powerworm in either Camo or Red Shad.
7 inch ripple tail worm in pumpkin seed or watermellon
most recently its the paca craw,in the past its been a lizard
A Green Pumpkin Finnesse worm.
On a Spot Remover, Texas Rigged with light sinker and small hook, Drop shot, or anything that comes to mind.

A Zoom super fluke in white and a manns jelly worm in grape
Kind of a seasonal thing... but anyway, this time of year?? I guess since my go to bait is a 1/2 oz jig it would have to be the Powercraw or Producto craw I stick on the jig.

Don 't have a particular "go-to" soft plastic bait, I like straight tail worms ( trickworms or jelly worms ), 5 " grubs, ribbontail worms, U tail worms, creatures ( lizards, hogs, craws ), tubes, french fries .... it really depends on what and where I 'm going to fish.
Senkos ? hmmm, very ocassionally I tie a senko, so ocassionally that lemme remember when it was the last time I purchased a bag of senkos ........ in August 2 years ago, couldn 't leave them 4" firetiger color, it looked so nice, bought a pack, still have 8 baits.
When it's time to fish plastics, which is about 90% of the time for me, I have these setups rigged at all times.
1. 5/0 EWG hook, unweighted 5" senko
2. 4/0 EWG hook, Fat Ika, reverse rigged, weightless
3. T-rig, 1/4oz weight, 5/0 EWG hook, GYCB Cuttail worm, 10" Power worm or Power Hawg
4. Ike's Spike jighead , 7" Power worm ( call it a shakey head if you must ) or Slim Sticko
5. 3/0 Owner Rig'n hook, unweighted Super Fluke or 4" Senko ( the only spinning rod in the mix )
6. 3/0 EWG hook, internally weighted Zoom tube
This gives me options to cover most every condition I encounter. I have lots of other plastics, which come out of the bags when nothing else is working, but the ones listed above are my go-to baits.
Cheers,

4" tube, t rigged. If that doesnt work might as well go home.

THATS,,,,what I'm takin bout
Beavers, but brush hogs and baby brush hogs are coming fast. I've been using allurning baits version of the baby brush hog anb been killing them. The garlic scent he puts in them is awesome .
Roboworm 4.5 inch straight tail worm in the "warmouth" color.
Fat Ika. No question about it!
I like Brush Hogs and Baby Brush Hogs in green pumpkin, 3/16 to 1/4 oz. weight and T-rigged...
As Ever,

lately my go to has been a Case Sinking Salty Shad which is a soft jerkbait much like the Zoom Fluke. Also I've been using a lot of finesse worms on shakey head jigs, specifically a Case Jack's worm or a Zoom finesse worm in brown and green colors.
4" hula grub fished on 1/2oz football jig head in a brown black flake color.

Texas rigged Zoom trick worm in pumpkinssed or bruised banana trick worm.
#1 Texas Rigged Gene Larew 7 ½ Salty Ring Worm Cinnamon Pepper Neon/June Bug Laminated (Camouflage).
If all else fails I go to a 6 inch straight tail Roboworm, Texas rigged with a 1/8 weight. It catches every DINK with-in 1 square mile!
When I'm in a bind and need to catch five I'll go with a texas rigged zoom centipede on 10lb flurocarbon.
For the price, it's hard to beat Zoom 6" Super Salt Plus U-Tale worms. Texas rigged and junebug in color is a deadly combination.
Zoom super fluke. Either weightless or some splitshots. Arkansas shiner color.
smallmouth: dropshot GYCB 3.5" cut tail worm, 240.
largemouth: Zoom baby brush hog, green pumpkin.
For me, in order
1) Fat Ika
2) GYCB Kreature
3) Zoom Lizards
When all else fails tie on a spot remover jighead with a Reaction Innovations Flirt,
I actually have 2 and couldnt decide which was my favorite so they are a zoom super fluke or a tube bait.
