As the title says, what lure caught you the most fish in 2015? I'm not talking 7 and 10 pounders here, just the sheer number of fish. Ready... GO!
Megabass Cyclone. It sat in my tacklebox for years, decided to try it from my kayak and just had a ball with it last year.
I suppose it would be proper form for me to list my own. Nothing special here. I slayed the fish with a white KVD spinner bait with gold blades. Some days it seemed I couldn't keep the fish off of it.
Shoreline, Weeds, Rocky a 3/8oz jig
Open water a 1/2oz Rat L Trap
Pads, Mats, Reeds a Gambler Cane Toad
Cabin Creek Salty Critter Jr tube on a 1/8 oz draggin head.
Either a Ned Rig or bladed jig.
Trd or a swim jig
Weightless fluke
Manns Jelly Worm .
It's neat how a lure will get hot and catch fish trip after trip . There have been years where certain crankbait's would get on a hot streak for months. The Jelly worm has been my top producing lure for more years than any other lure . .
chart/black back bomber crankbait
BPS Stick-O Texas rigged waitless.
Square bill crankbait, I can't list which one or what color specifically because I had a lot of good days with several different baits. If I had to choose it would be a toss up between the Bagley Rattling Kill'R B2 in bluegill or the Mann's Baby X in bluegill and the bluegill patterns for eac bait are totally different.
t-rigged zoom ultravibe craw. Caught a lot on a finnesse spinnerbait too.
1/4oz Brovarney Swim jig in blue crab color
7" Berkley Powerbait worm in motor oil.
3/8 Arkie Jig in Bluegill color. Various trailers.
Well as far as numbers go it would be a drop shot for me.
From ice out to say the first of July, the 6th Sense Crush Flat 75X Crankbait Squarebill (Bluegill) & a 1/2 oz SK Red Eye Shad (Perch) were probably tied as my top producers ~
But by the time the season was over, a drop shot SK Rage Craw had not only surpassed both those baits combined but easily tripled them in over all numbers.
Super clear waters here make the DS a go to bait for most all daytime trips all summer and right into mid-fall.
A-Jay
Early in the season I had most of my bass coming on a hard jerkbait. After the smallies moved out off the beds, then hands down, the drop shot was most productive, for me anyway. And the Roboworm was the most productive bait doing that.
4.5 robo dropshot for biggest AND most.
A Duo Realis Spin Bait 80 and an unweighted Super Fluke Jr. produced both the greatest number and the biggest of the clear water smallmouth I fished for last year.
Weightless stick baits.

Easy question. A few clicks in the spreadsheet results in:
Bait: 5" single-tail grub
Total: 528
Breakout:
It would be a toss-up between a ned rig and a trickworm on an shakyhead (owner ultrahead finesse ballhead, specifically).
weightless fluke, wacky-rigged stick worm, and buzzbait probably round out the top five.
It was a bucktail jig for me. 6th Sense 500 Crush was second.
Rage Craw or War Eagle spinnerbait

I caught my pb on a Mann's jelly worm( grape color).This year I plan to use one to catch a new pb.
I caught the most fish last year on 4 inch yamasenkos.For the previous 8 years it was zoom super flukes.
Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craws in GP.
Went through many bags of those.
It's just a guess since I really don't keep track, T-rigged 7" ribbon tail worm or a black and blue jig with matching trailer.
Tom
Black Spro Bronzeye Poppin' frog and 3/8 oz flippin' jig, green pumpkin with a Rage Craw trailer.
Pure numbers of bass last year, for me it's a 7" Roboworm.....
Either a Strike King Banshee buzzbait or live target field mouse in the 90 size. Topwater was good to me last year
Spro frogs and SK spinnerbaits
6th Sense lipless in one of the craw colors, they have a bunch. I had a number of 100 plus smallie days this summer with it. 99% of the time they were all 11" little turds, but boy there were a lot of them. I fished a tourney on that lake last summer, caught 124 fish on that same lure, weighed in with 5.34lbs and finished Top 5 lol.
Lucky Craft Pointer 78 Chartreuse Shad
I had to double check this one. It was a tie between a Rebel Pop-R, and a 1/8 ounce jig and craw.
Gonna have to go with a green pumpkin jig with a super chunk trailer flipped it into cover all day swore the fish couldn't lay off it
C-rig fluke probably
I would have to say Senko, Texas-rigged, followed by a chrome/black/red Rapala jerk bait.
A Mann's Baby 1-Minus, followed by a jig.
*sigh* dropshotting straight pieces of plastic.
Rapala Crankin Rap 05 - Firetiger.
Almost every time I went out.
Late summer, fall, and right through to New Year's day (aren't rattling cranks supposed to hibernate in the winter?)
Rapala Husky Jerks were a close second to tubes for me. It worked great all year. Either fishing it with a normal twitch pause or letting it ride the current and get slammed by smallies!
Weightless senko. Rapala dives two series is close second.
By far the senko and stick-o baits caught the most fish X 10. Watermelon red, Okeechobee, Junebug, and Morning Dawn.
Rappala original minnow or a spinner. I didn't count but they both caught a lot.
strike king sexy dawg
Jig or T-rig + Rage Craw
Probably a 3-way tie between....
1. Ned Rig
2. Weightless Fluke
3. 1/4oz White Terminator Spinnerbait w/ Gold Colorado blades
Rapala Shadow Rap Deep in Shad Color. No comparison.
Tough Question. Probably a tie between, a weightless fluke, a rattle-trap, a KVD Spinnerbait, and the ned rig. They all were big producers at different times and in different places.
