Then again maybe not. You know how secretive them fishermen are.
I do like the DT lures as well but I am a plastic guy. 8”Jelly Worm® from Mann’s Bait Company all day.

clh121787 reply :
Until I started buying my own lures. All I fished were h&h spinnerbaits. For years popa bought them a card at a time. Plastics definetly the most productive probably a brush hog or lizard. But my favorite bait to fish is definitely a big glide bait. Or a frog when that bite is on.

I've caught bass from Texas to Florida, the gulf coast to Ohio, & double digit bass in 5 different states!
Bankbeater reply :
I don't even have to think about this one. It's a jig and craw.
edfitzvb reply :
I'm an old school guy, been fishing 50+ years. FAVORITE subsurface hardbait lure is a Rapala minnow twitched below surface. Favorite topwater is a black Jitterbug. Favorite soft plastic is either an 8" Mann's Jelly Worm in blackberry or a Zoom 6" Lizard in watermelon
scaleface reply :
6 inch Manns Jelly worm. My new favorite color is tequila sunrise. My eyesight isnt as good as it use to be and I have a hard time seeing the seams to get the worm perfectly straight . With the laminated Tequila Sunrise its easy to get the hook rigged in the middle .

Jig and pig,.. hands down
bigfruits reply :
Yamamoto 5" DT Hula Grub on a Arky jighead.
cgolf reply :
Bandit 100 gets the nod for me slightly over the Yum crawbug rigged on a slider head. The only reason the Bandit gets the nod is it has shined on both rivers and lakes, the crawbug has caught a few more fish, but have only fished it on the the river. There really isn't a bait that comes close to these two for now, maybe a Ned rigged Zinkerz, but that has shown too many weaknesses to be the one to go to.
roadwarrior reply :
GYCB 5" Senko
A close 2nd is the Fat Ika
I do not fish knock-offs

X2, all time favorite! Motor oil is my fav color.
Crestliner2008 reply :
The one I was most enamored with growing up was the Arborgast Jitterbug. However, the one I never leave home without is the Yamamoto 5" Senko.
Hogsticker reply :
The best way for me to answer this is in terms of heading to the lake with a single bait I know I'LL catch fish with. Jackall Flick Shake 4.8. It's not just a bass bait.
Greatest lure of all time - Search bait, Rapala Rattlin Rap. Inexpensive and works just as well as any lipless crank available in my experience.
1201vilbig reply :
Blue Fleck Power Worm for numbers. Hudd 68 for the big girls.
MikeWright reply :
Get jiggy with it!!!! Add the zoom speed craw of course!!!
J Francho reply :
Jig. There's a jig for just about any situation you run into.

buzzed bait reply :
not the most productive for me, but easily my favorite thing to catch them on is a hollow belly frog!
Molay1292 reply :
Lots and lots of great baits, I would say my favorite is a Zara Spook Jr. in bone white. Nothing fancy about them, but they will flat out catch fish.
long island basser reply :
Pure bass catcher would be a 5" soft stick bait, pick a color.
My favorite to fish would be a popping hollow belly frog.
tholmes reply :
7.5" culprit Original worm, Tequila Shad.
For hard baits, it's a toss-up between a black Jitterbug and a SK Red-eye Shad, sexy shad color.

Jaderose reply :
5/8 oz Scumfrog Natural Black/Green. For me there is 2 kinds of fishing. Frogging and everything else.

My favorite way to catch a bass is on a topwater lure.

Yes please!
geo g reply :
It used to be a #11 Rapala Hard stickbait, and Swithwick Devil Horse guy. For the last 20 years its been without a doubt the 4" senko type bait guy. I can fish it weedless. I can fish it fast or slow. I can fish it deep or shallow. I can pause it, walk it, drag it, I can throw it in the thick stuff, or out in open water. Fish will hit it while they are lock jaw on other baits. You have to have confidence in what you throw and I am a believer in this little bait. It will catch small fish , BIG fish and everything in between. It is a great little bait.
papajoe222 reply :
It'd be a tough decision between a worm and a jig/pig. I'd be happy with either.
Master Bait'r reply :
Probably the Slug-Go SS. The number of ways I can rig that whiptail worm and catch fish I'm still counting. They walk like nothing else in the world on a weightless t-rig, you can bite off the tip and Ned them really well, Neko, wacky, drop shot, jig trailers you name it they just kill it.

Yum wooly hawgtail in black blue Texas rigged. 3 inch size with 1/0 ewg hook and 1/8 oz weight. 4 1/2" size with 3/0 hook and 3/16 oz weight. Flip pitch and target cast to cover. Fished with shakes and small hops on bottom. I almost always get my limit and usually 10 more at least on the small one and I've caught a 6 lb smallie and a bunch of 5's on the bigger one and had a 27 lb limit of largemouth in a tourney a couple of years ago on a lake where second place had 14 lbs. This is my go to lure for bites and quality. Favorite lure to fish is mattlures ultimate bluegill in ponds. Never know when an 8lb or larger bass is going to smash it
MIbassyaker reply :
My #1 All-time, all-species? Tie between 3" curly tailed grub on a 1/8oz jighead & #3 mepps aglia
My #1 All-time bass only, for productivity? A texas rigged worm; specifically, a 7" black power worm,
My #1 All-time bass only, for fun? A topwater; lots of contenders but I'll go with.......a classic propbait. 1/4oz heddon tiny torpedo, black shiner

That's great and all but, I don't see that worm listed on their web site. Do they still make it?

Nope some Pro took over Research/Development & decided he didn't like em so he discontinued them.
I buy a similar worm from Ann's Tackle in Jasper Tx; I think it's the color & the fact it's a ring worm.
AndrewJ reply :
5 inch single tail grub on a 1/4 oz ball head jig. Craw colors in the spring and shad colors in the summer and fall. Probably caught 75% of my fish on this one bait

And I see nothing wrong with that. I believe that's why we're all here.
Catt reply :
I've researched tournament results for the last 25 years and not just the Pros but everything I could find on the web. I also researched results for double digit bass over that same time frame.
From that data
7 out of 10 Texas Rig anglers say a Jig-N- Trailer is their #2 weapon if choice.
7 out of 10 Jig anglers say a Texas Rig is their #2 weapon of choice.
60% of tournaments were won on Texas Rigs
50% of double digit bass were caught on Texas Rigs

6"-8" plastic worms in any color as long as it's purple. I got where I would only buy purple at one point.
My favorite topwater lately has become the Spook, Jr. But at times it's been a frog, Chug Bug or a black buzzbait.
Torn Thumb reply :
I'd like to change mine to the zman chatterbait in white.
