Top 5 hardbaits 2025


fishing user avatarSkspacemonkey reply : 

If you could only have 5 hardbaits, what would they be? (Jerkbaits, topwaters, crankbaits, etc) if you could include the brand that would be great. Thanks!


fishing user avatarA-Jay reply : 

I can't choose - you pick five ~

What brand is the lipless crank in the bottom right corner?


fishing user avatargimruis reply : 

I would say two top waters (a frog and a prop bait), a spinner bait (white), a buzz bait (green skirt), and some sort of shallow running crank bait.  I know jerk baits are very effective but I've had awful success using them so they didn't make the cut.

It's a 3/4 oz Duo Realis G-Fix Vibration Tungsten Lipless Crankbait.

This but I'd probably trade the Rattlin Rogue for an Ish Biggie Poppa and the Pop-R for a Whopper Plopper. It's a close call on the Pop-R or the Plopper.
