If you could only have 5 soft plastics, what would they be? If you could include the brands that would be great. Thanks!
This is sure to get some interesting responses. I would bet that a stick bait like a senko is going to be on just about everyone's list. I use tubes a lot so I'll throw them in there. I like the root beer and green pumpkin colored power tube made by berkley.
> Zoom 5” Fluke
> Spro Bronzeye Frog
> Zoom Ultra-Vibe Worm
> Netbait Paca Craw
> Gambler Ace (senko knockON, not knockoff)
Not my favorites, just major players that come to mind.

I surprised by the lack of presence on the lists of 4 inch paddle tail swimbaits on a bullet jig, ned rig, + the others for me would be in order tubes, super flukes, and senko type plastic.
In order of most used:
6" Senko
5" Senko
Zoom fluke
Zoom trick worm
10" Powerbait worm
Only five? Forget it. I'll just take ten Planos full of cranks.
