What type of bait do you have the most? 2024
papajoe222 reply :
I've already started reorganizing some of my tackle and was surprised to learn that the one style of bait I have the most of are crankbaits. Between, wake baits, shallow medium and deep runners, flat sided and fat bodied, not to mention suspending and silent versions, they outnumber all my other hard baits combined. I half expected my jig collection to come out on top, but the only baits that come close in numbers are my tubes, only because I don't count them individually, but by the bags. As you can easily guess, I have a lot of tubes.
So what lure type dominates your tackle? If it's a soft plastic, what type (worms, craws, frogs, etc.)?
flyingmonkie reply :
Soft plastic... by far... i have the drawers of an old dresser stuffed full. I recently became the advisor to a collegiate fishing team - maybe I should give some to the kids? 
Cranks #2.
Bluebasser86 reply :
If they're all lumped into one category, soft plastics by a wide margin. I like flipping and pitching, so I'm a sucker for creature baits and beavers.
After that it's jigs, a byproduct of pouring and tying my own.
Catt reply :
Plastics!!!

Plastics
jigs
square bills
Alan Reed reply :
Soft plastics these two catagories have the highest number by far.
1. Worms - Senko and Yum Dingers the most
2. Flukes - split tail and paddle tail
scaleface reply :
Soft plastics by far . Hard baits it would be crankbaits .
Raul reply :
Evenly spread between plastics, cranks & spinnerbaits.
Wayne P. reply :
Zoom finesse and Trick worms, no other comes even close.
KDW96 reply :
1 Plastics small totes full.
2 Crankbaits 3700s full, some havent been open for 10yrs.
3 Tackle bags ,what the h**l wrong with me?
4 Empty never used storage boxes, again wth?
Gonna be a major project this winter. Im gonna make up complete tackle bags. In 2017 ill be paying forward about 8 complete bags at time while out fishing.
Thanks papajoe, it game on now 
tander reply :
Probably plastics but i do have boxes of crankbaits. My big order was Z Man plastics this Black Friday, most Ned baits.

cranks
WIGuide reply :
If plastics are all lumped into one, I have the most of those by far, followed up by crankbaits
riverbasser reply :
Like they said if its all lumped then plastics of course mostly jig trailers and swimbaits.
Cranks and jigs are too close to say but I definitely have more cranks than need and it not really my goto presentation
"hamma" reply :
Plastics, then spinnerbaits
Mike L reply :
Like most others, plastics, plastics and more plastic.
To break it down...Craws/Beavers, Stick Baits and Paddle Tail Swimbait's

Scott F reply :
I just reorganized my tackle and was surprised at the number of suspending jerkbaits I have. I don't often use other diving crankbaits and I just started fishing the jerkbaits a few years ago. While I too have more plastics, dollar wise, my investment in the jerkbaits has to be higher than all the plastics combined. When one jerkbait costs about the same as 3 bags of plastics....
You know winter is here when I'm spending time counting baits instead of throwing them.
roadwarrior reply :
#1 Soft plastics (mostly Rage Tail and GYCB)
#2 Jigs (exclusively Siebert Outdoors)
#3 Jerkbaits (my favorite collection)
#4 Crankbaits
#5 Spinnerbaits and Bladed Jigs
samwise2u reply :
Soft plastic worms
Dwight Hottle reply :
Jerkbaits. I have an affinity for them.
Oklahoma Mike reply :
Soft plastics by a long shot. Behind that it's probably topwater lures followed by spinnerbaits or jigs.
Yeajray231 reply :
If you're counting packs of plastics as one then I have the most of hardbaits. Mostly rapala and bomber.
150+ rapala (jerkbaits,cranks,topwater,) and 25+ bomber. maybe 5 live target, and a couple miscellaneous.

Although this is not my most productive technique, jerkbaits are my favorite lures to fish. I am REALLY going to try using some of my 10 year old lures that have only `seen water in my swimming pool! I would estimate using no more than a dozen different jerkbaits over the years, the other 100 or so are still "on deck".
wdp reply :
Shallow cranks & swimbaits. Forget how many I have til I buy more (usually when on sale), then I look and say to myself..... I really don't need any more crank or swimbaits. ?
crypt reply :
worms 1st,beaver baits 2nd,rattle traps 3rd.
A-Jay reply :
I guess if I were going to judge by just shear weight - it would be plastics -
As for hard baits, the numbers of Squarebills, Rattlebaits, Mid & Deep Diving Baits and Jerkbaits are all about tied - several.
I have decidedly less Topwater, Spinnerbaits, Jigs, Swimbaits, Chatterbaits, Scroungers, and less still of the Oversized Baits & Cranks.
Most of Really Big Baits have been designated as "Toad Locators" and are labeled "Mexico".

MIbassyaker reply :
I have more plastic worms than anything, for sure.
blckshirt98 reply :
1) 3.5"-4.5" plastics that can be nose hooked on a drop shot, have a giant 90-quart Sterlite full of them, along with overflow into half of another.
2) Squarebills of all sorts,mostly Strike King KVDs - as a shore guy I don't really need deep divers so I just go nuts with squarebills that swim in the 0-3' depth range.
tholmes reply :
1. Plastic worms, easily over 500 on hand.
2. craws/creature baits.
3. Jigs. I make my own, so I have a bunch on hand.
4. crankbaits (including jerkbaits)
5. Flukes / swimbaits
6. Spinnerbaits
7. Blade baits Once again, I make 'em myself so I have plenty.
This is only bass tackle. If I counted panfish/trout lures, jigs would be the big winner, by far.

Individual worms, I used to buy 'em from Barlow's. 7-1/2" ribbon tails for $14.00 per 100. They don't carry 'em anymore

kickerfish1 reply :
Plastics by sheer numbers of packs. My jig collection might be the biggest around ...maybe!
ww2farmer reply :
Soft plastics by a wide margin.
I have enough Yum Dingers, Chigger Craws, and Pit Bosses, that I didn't have to buy ANY in 2016 (I still bought some but I never would have run out had I not), and I might be able to fish all of 2017 without buying much.
Outdoor Zack reply :
5" yum dingers
Jeff H reply :
Worms...without question. Lots and lots of worms!
primetime reply :
Soft baits, Terminal tackle....Then Jerkbaits.
RyneB reply :
jigs and tubes. On a good day I can go through 30+ tubes. I prefer bps tender tubes so they aren't the most durable bait, but they catch fish.
Mumbly reply :
For me it's topwater. I would just rather catch fish on topwater than any other method. Whether it's a super spook jr. or buzzbait there is just no bigger thrill for me.
Having said that, the fish don't always co-operate and when that happens I fall back on soft plastics. Dingers and flukes mostly.
