tcbass reply :
This will be a hard one.
What fishing bait style do you think accounts for the most bass on average?
Topwater, frog, crankbait, spinnerbait, buzzbait, senko style, jerkbait, texas rig, swim jig, jig & pig, swimbaits, etc.....
Creekcrappie reply :
For me a creature bait.
QUAKEnSHAKE reply :
With all the wind in my area a spinnerbait has been the most effective.
Catt reply :
Texas Rigged Plastics hands down! 
Casting, flipping, pitching or punching
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
Bank shallow out to ???
Mccallister25 reply :
Id be willing to say, for anglers as a whole, jigs and t-rigs account for more bass than anything else.
For me personally, its jigs.
CJV reply :
Crankbaits!!!
Bass Junkie reply :
Most bass nation wide? 5" Texas-rigged soft stickbait.

TorqueConverter reply :
Most of my fish come on cranks.
Arv reply :
Worm
Missourifishin reply :
Crankbaits for me. But from reading on the internet, I'd say plastics and jigs overall.
Bluebasser86 reply :
Texas rigged plastics probably catches more fish every year than anything else.
AK-Jax86 reply :
Texas rigging plastics (idk what it is but when I can't get a bite on anything else a Senko ALWAYS produces fish it must contain fish crack)
I much rather fish 1.) Frogs 2.) Frogs 3.) Frogs 4.) Crankbaits 5.) Chatterbaits [thats my new obsession caught me some big fish the few times I have been throwing them. Never thrown them until about 2 weeks ago or so]

Yes Sir!
frogflogger reply :
plastic worms, I include senkos in this category - you can take a 4" to 6"plastic worm anywhere in the country any season and catch fish.

^ Yep! And it ain't even close. For me, the next most effective would be crankbaits, followed by jig 'n' pig, spinnerbaits, then everything else
WRB reply :
The lowly soft plastic worm doesn't win as many tournaments today as it did in the past when the Texas rig was the dominate presentation. The Texas rig with a sliding bullet weight, isn't as popular today with the average bass angler. If you combine all the different soft plastic worms/creatures including heavy salt worms (Senko) with the T-rig, C-rig, drop shot, split shot/mojo, punch rigs, No contest. Soft plastics dominate the numbers of bass caught everyday and night year around.

Zach Dunham reply :
For me personally it is definitely a spinnerbait. I fish it so many different ways and times.
Overall though I would agree with what seems to be the consensus, and that is texas-rigged soft plastics.
Brock Grigsby67 reply :
For me its a texas rigged zoom lizard!

Every one throwing Texas rigged(maybe not a worm) plastics in some shape or another. It maybe weightless, weighted, or pegged it's still a Texas Rig!
The Texas Rig is about the hook & how its embedded in the plastic, the weight was optional from the beginning.
As much as it kills y'alls ego a Punch Rig is a Texas Rig with a bigger weight, we've thrown that down here on Rayburn & Toledo Bend for 4-5 decades...it aint new!
WRB reply :
Kills my ego, what isn't Texas about about Texas rig? Agree the weedless hook into a plastic worm has become the Texas rig, wasn't always. Florida rig was the pegged weight "punch rig" back in the 70's.
Texans can make the claim they invented modern bass fishing and I agree, it all started there before Ray Scott came along.

einscodek reply :
The answer is all of the above..
the best bait or lure depends on the season, time, situation.. etc.
Sometimes one bait is killin' it and it goes dead and another picks up the slack.
Your job is figuring out which that is.. thats the difference between two fisherman next to each other and one isnt gettin bit while the other is beggin for a break.
RoLo reply :
"T-Rigging" is not a lure it's simply a rigging method, and "Soft-Plastics" is a noncommittal response to say the least.
In and of themselves, soft-plastic lures comprise the bulk of the lure market, which outnumber both hard-plastics and metals.
Just because it's 'soft-plastic', do you feel equally confident with a stick worm, crawfish, paddletail minnow, creature, grub and plastic chunk?

Weightless Texas Rigged Senko, Green Pumpkin. Totally committed to that lure and technique.
Balshy Fishing reply :
If you can get a current and a nice little tail-race between rocks on the river, yellow twister tails on a jig will give you endless bass.
bigbill reply :
First, number uno,
The 6" plastic split shot rigged worm is probably still the hottest all time bass catcher ever, EVER. It's probably over looked today by many pro bass guys but I still believe it's still used by many of us bass fisherman. The orginal colors of black, purple and natural colored worms still work today.
Second, number duo,
It's the pre spinner bait the inline spinner. It's still a hot bass catching lure. Again over looked by many younger fisherman.
Don't sell this little pre spinner bait lure short. This mepps Anglia, panther Martin, Joe's fly, blue Fox, wordens etc still catch bass today after its been around for 5++ decades. It's never too old to throw out there. It's the vibration and the flash.
bclark7b reply :
T-rigged soft plastics and spinner baits are two things that will catch fish all year round for me..
