My favorite is a white 1/2 oz willowleaf spinnerbait.  My most effective one is an Aruku Shad.  I have one tied on a rod constantly.

Usually a crankbait, except around gunky weeds. For that I will use a spinnerbait.

Usually a spinnerbait but if I really am having trouble getting a hit I fish soft plastics slow.

During spring and early summer,I like a white spinnerbait w/ a gold willowleaf blade over a smaller chrome Colorado blade.In the late summer and fall I go with a shad crankbait.Winter is for jigs and trailers and/or Carolina rigs.

fishfordollars reply : 

I have no favorite. Lures are tools. I never decide what I am going to fish until I get to the lake and check out the water and weather conditions. I am just as likely to throw a crank, plastic, or jig as I am anything. Just depends on the conditions.
