What is your go to Lure?? 2025

spoon33 reply :

What is everyones favorite lure? The one that is tied to at least one of your poles before you back the boat in and you use during tournaments.

I like throwing a wacky worm rig. Depending on the color clarity will effect my worm color, but I always put a few tiny split-shots just above the hook to help sink it faster and give me more action.

FishinDaddy reply :

I have 2 that are always tied on.

Blue/Black chatter bait. I flip it, pitch it, swim it, and dead stick it. Usually catches at least one fish a day.

Frog, Gambler cane toad in lane toad color.

These 2 baits don't catch high numbers of fish but they both catch big fish.

WTRDOG reply :

1/2 oz brwn/black/pumpkin(home made spinnerbait)#5 colorado blade(gold).

rondef reply :

I have two, swim senkos and rat-l-traps

John J. reply :

I have a few. 1/4 ounce football headed peanut-butter and jelly jig with my homemade Crawtail trailer. I also commonly use wacky rigged YUM Dingers, ZOOM Finesse Worms and my home made Finesse Worms and cigarbaits.

I use to throw spinner-baits all the time, but I've stayed away from them. But I will get back to using them once again. For spinner-bait my favorite brand is BOOYAH! and the spinner-bait I like is the 3/8 ounce Glimmer-Shad skirt with hammered willow-leaf silver blades.

Bryant. reply :

My go to baits are a LC poiter 128 in ghost minnow or chart. shad. My other go to is a huddleston trout if there is a swimbait bite.

BOOYAH reply :

chartruse spinner bait, and a red shad worm.

The_Natural reply :

Depends on the season. Right now in prespawn you won't catch me without a weightless lizard tied on...either a Zoom lizard in tomato or a Wave Worm lizard in red plum swirl. An Xrap is right there in black shad, as well as a 1/2oz white spinnerbait Red River Tackle with the fluorescent red kicker blade). I usually have a Lucky Craft Moonsault Cb (100 for ponds...200/250 for lakes) in Chartreuse Shad tied on as well. Everything else is just experimentation.

skeeterpro20i reply :

I have a Megabass Crankbait that I always have tied on. Secret color.... ;D

jrhennecke reply :

4" Yum Dinger and a Bleedin Shad Rat L Trap.

BassFishingMachine reply :

A 5inch GYCB Kut-Tail can usually always catch me a fish, but I only tie them on as a last resort because they tear easily and the only way I can get them is from purchasing online.

As for the bait I have tied on the most, currently thats probably a jig mainly with a Yum Chunk or Paca Chunk, I use many other trailers but these 2 seem to be the best. I also tryed the ragetail chunk recently and the action is just incredible, it was freezing cold so I don't think it counts as truly testing the bait and I'll test it out as soon as these waters warm up. Im sure it'll be right up there with the yum chunk/paca chunk in no time.

Catt reply :

Texas Rigged Gene Larew 7 ½ Salty Ring Worm Cinnamon Pepper Neon/June Bug Laminated (Camouflage).

Big-O reply :

Texas rigged Rage Tail Craw has increased my catch numbers substantially. I'll go with that!

TruflShufl reply :

I usually look at the conditions and go from there. About the only "go-to bait" I have would be a 5" senko t-rigged, usually watermelon seed.

guitarkid reply :

oddly enough the renegade worm in watermelon or motoroil when it is worm, have not really fished enough when it is cold, but I would probably say a jig or a husky jerk.

littlefisher reply :

Trixie Sweet beaver with a BMF hook, flipping it into the forest. I get my flippin stick, anything over 50lb braid, and haul the pigs out. Well pigs as far as the north goes lol.

burleytog reply :

flippin reply :

my football jig in green pumpkin or sweet beaver dirty sanchez

Rattlinrogue reply :

It changes by season.Right now it's prespawn on my lake and a suspending jerkbait followed closly by a shallow crankbait are my favs.In a few weeks it'll be a spinnerbait followed even closer by a lizard.
