Curious to hear what everyone's top 3 go to are.
Square bills & Texas rig all year long
The third spot changes as the seasons change... At the moment hollow body frogs are producing well for me!
It seems that I only have one bait that Im using all year long, every single time I fish and thats my black/blue jig.
The others would depend on the time of year and what's produced well for me at that particular time.
For me it's lipless crank, tx rigged plastic, and a swim jig.
Do yall have a go to color for your TX rig...mine was always a black power worm, since I've moved to north carolina, my black worm hasn't been so good to me.

1. Jig - can do almost anything so it makes one rig very versatile...
2. Texas Rig
3. Chatterbait
This year it's been mostly thus:
T-rigged plastics (Roboworms, Slug-Go SS, Flash J's, etc)
Frogs (Lunk3rhunt, KLT, Spro, etc)
Snagless Sally (in a few different colors, mostly 1/2oz.)
Been killing it too. I use other stuff fairly often but these have been producing almost effortlessly so far and so I have been using them a lot. I fish a lot of heavily weeded areas so weedlessness is pretty important to me.
For smallmouth...
Drop Shot, Tube, Crankbait
Largemouth...
Drop Shot, T-rig beaver on straight shank hook, swimjig (swing impact or swim-n-shiner trailer)
T-rig
Jig
Crankbait
Colors and styles vary as needed.
On the bench - spinnerbait, topwater, soft-bodied swimbait, blade bait, etc.

My top 3 constantly changes, but most recently my 3 most used rigs are the jika rig, bubba dropshot rig and I've caught several keepers recently on a Strike King Caffiene Shad, tx rigged with a 3 gram nail weight inserted in the body behind the hook, so that it drops relatively flat.

Snagless Sally! There's one I haven't seen in a while. The black w/gold blade is a smallmouth killer! I'll have to dig through the catacombs and see if I still have a few hanging around.
Thanks for the reminder!
