The Most 2024
papajoe222 reply :
I thought a fun topic might be: What specific lure (brand and model) do you own the most of? To take it a step further, name a hard bait and a soft plastic. I'll start with what surprised me: Bill Norman Deep Little N crankbaits. I have eighteen in my box and another seven on my pegboard of spares. (I thought Spooks would win out, but when I broke it down by specific models, they came up short) For soft plastics, overwhelmingly, the 7.5in. Culprit worm takes the honors. I own way more tubes than worms, but they're divided up so no one company can take honors here.
I know we've done threads on favorite lures before, but this may be an eye opener for some as it was for me.
I know........Papa has too much time on his hands.

You beat me by 5 on the Deep Little N's. They are just a great bait. As far as soft plastics that is easy. Berkley 7" Power Worms. I'm not sure how many I have but I do have more than my local B&T shop has, unless they are holding out on me. 
Dorado reply :
Cool topic. Pretty diverse with my hard baits so I won’t cover that, plus I’ve evolved into a soft plastic junkie over the past couple years.
Unsurprisingly, grubs take the crown. Started fishing them in Colorado for saugeyes and walleyes. I discovered that they were bass magnets there and even more so in Arizona.
Surprisingly, I have a surplus of Roboworms. I do not drop shot as much as I should, but when I moved here, every AZ angler told me they were mandatory to carry in your tackle box.

7” Power Worms are one of my confidence baits. They never let me down.
Angry John reply :
Top hardbait is the kvd 1.5 squarebill. I have 10 and another 5 in 1.0. Most common worm 4" robo strait tail. It's because I got a bunch of coLors but only use Aarons magic.
tcbass reply :
Bought too many Whopper Ploppers but I love them. Work great.
Bought too many different hollow body frogs experimenting with them trying to make my own homemade Teckel Sprinker frogs. Ended up with Booyah Pad Crashers being the best but I have a lot of frogs I will probably never use again and new in the box.
Glaucus reply :
Right now it's the Zoom Original Trick Worm in Green Pumpkin and Strike King Lil Mr. Money Spinnerbait in Firetiger. They're the deal in the places I fish.
Happybeerbuzz reply :
Interesting topic. Now that you have me thinking about it, I don’t have more than two of any specific model of hard lure. This is only my third season back to fishing after a 25 year hiatus. I think I am still evaluating all the makes and models of all the hard baits on the market.
With regards to soft baits, that’s easy. I probably have 7 or more different colored 5” GYCG Senkos.
Bluebasser86 reply :
I have 43 bags of sapphire blue Pit Bosses and almost as many in Lime-Purple Passion. They got discontinued, I panicked.
Not going to pull all my hard baits out but I'm sure the RES is the winner in that category if you count all the variations I have of it from the little 1/4oz, silent, 2 taps, standard, and 3/4oz.

Columbia Craw reply :
You're killing me Joe.
Normans Deep Little N's: 49
Over a dozen packs of 5 inch Senkos and Hula Grubs
I just gave a buddy of mine a box of 27 Bandit 100's. I haven't thrown a Bandit in a long time I guess.

thinkingredneck reply :
Zoom trick worms. I have a metric crap ton of them.

Catt reply :

long island basser reply :
Bass Pro shops 5 3/8 Stik-O. This is the only brand and size I’ve been throwing for well .....since they came out.lol.
Manns baby 1- minus for the hard baits 14 of them.
Bankbeater reply :
I'm not counting, but I would say Rat-l-traps. I have 4 3600 boxes in different sizes and colors.
Mike L reply :
A box of Square bill's that i can't tell you the last time I opened..
A box of traps that I can't tell you the last time I opened.
Bags and bags of tubes that I bought about 3 years ago and never opened.
2/0 hooks
Shaky heads
Swivels

Darren. reply :
I'd say BPS Stik-Os nose out Zoom Finesse and Trick worms
by a very slim margin in my arsenal. But I've got a lot of all
three.
OkobojiEagle reply :
Lucky Craft Pointers
3" Berkley PowerBait tubes/ 4" Berkley PowerBait grubs (I've got a couple of large bulk bags of each from when I spent some time in the Berkley manufacturing plant.)

flatcreek reply :
My boat smells like Zoom
fishballer06 reply :
I'd have to count... But it's either Bill Lewis Rat-L-Traps, or Rapala DT's.
Plastics - Keitech Swing Impact Fat. Hands down.
LonnieP reply :
Rattle traps. I have to keep a bunch because I’m constantly losing them but I catch a lot of bass on them.
7 inch power worms

You’re missing out by not using them. Great, versitile soft plastic. Bring ‘em with next time you’re up this way. I’ll take ‘em off your hands and buy you and the Mrs. lunch.
ww2farmer reply :
Soft baits, it would be a neck and neck race between 5" Yum Dingers, and 4" Berkley Chigger craws.
Hard baits...KVD 1.5's and it ain't even close.
ohboyitsrobby reply :
Soft plastics: 10.5 cranberry yum ribbontail, fish a lot at night during summer and these seem to work almost year round. Hard bait: probably sk 5xd. I have a ton of different cranks and topwater but of a random variety.
CTBassin860 reply :
Hard bait, I'm throwing a 3/8 tungsten jig from @Siebert Outdoors . Soft bait its a Havoc Pit Boss/SK Rage bug. Most of the time, the Pit Boss is on the back of that jig.
Log Catcher reply :
Bandit crankbaits with Norman crankbaits a close second. Zoom baby brush hogs and trick worms. War Eagle spinnerbaits.
NittyGrittyBoy reply :
Softbaits, Zoom super salty fluke, packs on top of packs of them. Main color is baby bass
Hardbaits, kvd square bills. Lots of them, local river eats em up. Main color red craw

Now that's a deal!!
If we go to Bears camp this year we'll take a little detour and come up your way.
Thanks

Way north bass guy reply :
Hardbaits- probably a tie between Strike King KVD jerkbaits and Stike King spinnerbaits, too many to count.
Softbaits- again, likely a tie between 5” Senkos and Berkley Powerbait Thief’s, awesome little phlipling/pitching baits.
BigAngus752 reply :
Wow. If I had just answered without looking I'd have been wrong. I would have said War Eagle or Strike King spinners. I was shocked to find that the winner for hard is actually Rat-L-Traps. Specifically the red craw. Granted I've caught a lot of fish with them, but I have so many!
Soft baits is hands down lizards. All kinds, all colors. Which is stupid because I live in central Illinois where we don't have lizards. What the heck?
Yumeya reply :
Lucky Craft Pointers.
2nd would be Keitech swing impact fat.
fishwizzard reply :
I have maybe 40-50 bags of Rage Shellcrackers due to some panic buying. I think that will be a lifetimes supply.
Sam reply :
Zoom finesse and trick worms.
Senkos.
KVD Strike King Sexy Shad crankbaits of all sizes.
rboat reply :
Bomber long A's
Zoom trick worms
Team9nine reply :
Hard baits: Spoonplugs 
somewhere between 150 and 200 of them.
Jigs: Lindy Fuzz-E-Grubs (60+ pkgs of 2 each) followed closely by Eagle Claw hair jigs
Soft baits: Zman (easily), in particular, their WormZ (4" and 7") followed by ZinkerZ, TRDs and Hula StickZ.
A-Jay reply :
The arsenal is extensive, organized & balanced for what I like to do.
Hard baits are dominated by Lucky Craft & Strike King.
Soft baits are mostly Strike King, Berkley & I guess Zoom.

Impressed @A-Jay
mattkenzer reply :
Soft Plastics ...... Either the Rage Bug, Rage Craw or Rage Menace (I have my share of all three )
Hard Baits ...... Although I do not use them much anymore, my life long collection of the Original Floating Rapala would win the numbers game.

Yamamoto Kut Tails for me, use them on the dropshot and easily have over 1,000 of the things...

That's my name - Box holds two different versions
A FLIP 'N SWIM jig (top) and ALABAMA swim jig (bottom) ~ Both 1/2 oz
A couple of my favorite sort of 'jack of all trades' jigs
Killer designs with a solid hook.
Can be fished effectively just about anywhere I'm likely to need a stout jig
Works in Michigan - Works in Mexico
Almost always have at least one Rigged & Ready

Ah, Bassdozer, got you. He has some great looking stuff, but none of it ever seems to be in stock.

High Quality & Design are always in demand.
Been a user & abuser of Russ C's baits for a long time.
That helps.

WRB reply :
I make my jigs in batches of 100 and have more then I know of.
Order custom color soft plastic worms in 100 bags, keep 17 large Plano boxes full of various worms and creatures, more then I will ever use.
About 50 Huddleston's 68 & 8" swimbaits along with a few dozen wooden models.
Way too many crankbaits, jerk baits, top water lures, spinnerbaits and structure spoons.
I don't know what I have the most of?? Roboworms maybe. Should take inventory!
Tom
whitwolf reply :
Soft plastics: Zoom, by a long shot.
Hardbaits: it's a tie between Norman deep baby n's and Rebel deep wee r.
crypt reply :
Gambler ribbon tail worms,4 or 5 hundred at last count. Bomber long-a jerk bait 25 of em.
