Your #1 confidence bait- vote here 2024

Shadcranker reply :

Write in votes welcomed. I did not include swim baits, creatues, craws, flukes, jigging spoons, chatterbaits, etc. Couldn't fit everything.

I realize that it depends on conditions and time of year, but for this, let's assume it's late spring, stable weather, and the fish will cooperate with most any presentation.

I gotta go with the tube. I feel like I can always catch something with a small Zoom watermelon/gold tube. Heck, I even try and buzz'em sometimes.

BassFishingMachine reply :

I have a tremendous amount of confidence using any type of topwater, from a buzzfrog to a skitter pop. I will throw any topwater with great confidence.

Since you didn't add the creature baits then I chose Buzzbaits. Can't go wrong there.

I have a ton of confidence in cranks. When I am having a tough day i can usually tie one on and nail a couple.

eulerentinc reply :

I have to go with topwater. Not that it catches the most fish for me but when i do hook one on top my adrenaline gets going, and makes me confident i can continue to hook up!

bassboy1 reply :

Definitely a T-rig. My first fish on a lure was a T-rig with a 5" curly tail purple worm. Freaken fish was a catfish though - a very bony small catfish in a lake with NO food source. They were desperate.

My first bass on a lure was on a T-rig with a 4" red shad senko knockoff. Since then, T-rigs have been my go to baits.

Ky_Lake_Dude reply :

Strike King 3X Zero

FishTank reply :

The 5' senko has to be my favorite. I yet to find a color that I can't catch a fish with.

ga_hawghauler reply :

t-rig or c-rig soft plastic in green pumpkin

Bass Mekanik reply :

My top confidence baits would be 6" stickbait watermelon red/purple flake and t-rig black trickworm.

hookem12_0 reply :

Carolina Rig and A Spinnerbait.

Johanv reply :

I would go for Chatterbait morning session and when temperatures pick up I would go for T rigged Senko and Mojo rigged senko in Green pumpkin watermelon laminate

BassinSoldier reply :

year round go to bait for tough days...Green pumpkin senko, black with blue flake senko if water is dirty.

FIN-S-R reply :

Man does nobody use a yo-zuri vibe? This is easily my #1, on the poll it had vibration and cranks together, but I dont fish them anywhere near the same, and consider the vibration to be more like a spinner bait than a crank. Anyway, silver green back yo-zuri vibe...cant beat them anywhere on a tough day. You can cover water, they come through cover really well, and will VIBE-rate the rod out of your hand. Won more $$ on one of these little jewels this past year than anything else.

roadwarrior reply :

FIN-S-R,

Yep, I use the Ratl'N Vibe. That's my #1 Rat-L-Trap type lure, too!

Cigarlover 1 reply :

I'll fish a green pumpkin senko anytime.

T-rig reply :

Dark coloured creature plastics t-rigged. Allways have confidence in these!

BassPonder72 reply :

I absolutely slaughtered bass last year with my Rebel pop'r but, my confidence was in the color not the bait itself. I now own several baits in this color and will throw them all with confidence this year. Though I have never seen any baitfish in the waters I fish that resemble this color pattern bass couldn't resist it. Rainbow with Gold fleck (g-fleck/rainbow). Try this color out if you haven't. Every fish I caught over 4lbs last year was on the pop'r in this color. I had to buy several due to the color coming off from repeated strikes. I bought some torpedos and inline spinners in the same color for this year and will be stocking up on zara spooks in the same color. The funny thing is I never would have picked this but, I was in BPS in Orlando last year and my wife fell in love with the pink & green color pattern. Go figure.

Captain Cali reply :

I vote other...

Drop Shot, 4.5" Roboworm Straight Tail.

BucketmouthAngler13 reply :

YUM 4" green tube is near the top of my list along with wirebaits and cranks.

Rattlinrogue reply :

I voted C-rig because I can always drag up some bass with it,They're not always big bass but such is life.If I could have voted for two,I'd have gone with a spinnerbait also.As with the C-rig,if you make enough casts you'll eventually catch bass.
