Your favorite brand for each lure type you use? 2024


fishing user avatarbassin_man reply : 

What is everyones favorite brand for each lure type they use? Thought it would be kind of interesting to see what everyone likes to use and which is most popular. If you want to go into more detail you can say the specific model also. I will start it off.

Hardbaits-Rapala and Bomber in a tie, plan on giving Lucky Craft a try here soon. Heddon and Rebel when it comes to topwater.

Soft Plastics-Yum

Spinnerbaits/Buzzbaits-Terminator

Jig- Custom(Gman)


fishing user avatarFishin49er reply : 

Hardbaits- Rapala and Bomber

Spinnerbait/Buzzbaits-Booyah

Jigs- Booyah

fishing user avatarguest reply : 

There's no way I could simplify things to this extennt.

For example In soft plastics alone, I really like the zoom finesse worm, super fluke, and horny toad

But for senko's it's GYCB, also his fat ika, and grubs

In worms I like culprit, manns jelly, and GYCB kut tail

you get the picture,

Now that I've got some of Chris' custom handpours the whole soft plastic world has stood on it's head.

fishing user avatarFisher of Men reply : 

Cranks- (I know they catch alot of flack from some around here, but. . .) Rat-L-traps/Cordell Spots, Bomber A

Soft plastics- Zoom lizards, Berkely Powerworms

Spinnerbaits-  Strike King

Top water baits- Heddon (Pradco)- Pop-R's and Torpedo's

If it catches fish and is on sale, I'm buying.  These are just brands I use, not that I couldn't be persuaded to use otherwise.


fishing user avatarKU_Bassmaster. reply : 

Soft Plastics - I use a lot, but seem have more YUM and Zoom than anything else

Hard baits - Rapala and Lucky Craft

Jigs - Booyah


fishing user avatarsenile1 reply : 

Like Avid stated, I don't think I can narrow this down to a favorite.  I can state some generalities.

Hardbaits:  I have more Rapala than anything else.

Softbaits:  Depends on if its a worm, creature, tube, frog, etc.  

Jigs:  I have more Booyah and Strike King than anything else.

Spinnerbaits:  Terminator and Strike King


fishing user avatarWCCT reply : 

Hardbaits: Luckycraft

Spinnerbaits: Strike King and custom baits

Jigs: Strike King and Boohya

Plastics: WCCT hand pours


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Hard baits: Lucky Craft

Soft plastics: GYCB

Spinner/ buzzbaits: Terminator

Jigs: Micro Munch Tackle


fishing user avatarSiebert Outdoors reply : 

Hardbaits-bandit

topwater spro frog, starting to make soft plastic frogs

Soft Plastics-joesjigtrailers, starting to make my own

Spinnerbaits/Buzzbaits- S/b probably terminator or nichols, BB custom by buzzinbass on AAFF, make a few of my own of both.

Jig- Custom(Gman) I dont think I have thrown a factory jig in over 3 years


fishing user avatarValascus reply : 

Cranks: More Rapala than anything else. Toss in a few Mann's, Norman, and Bandits.

Hard Topwater: Heddon, Rapala, Arbogast, LC...again more Rapala than anything else.

Buzzbaits/Spinnerbaits: Booyah, Terminator, or Strike King...more Booyah here.

Jerkbaits: Rapala, Smithwick, LC (if I can afford it)...more Rapala here too.

Jigs: Jig-X, Booyah, Eakins...starting to lean more towards Booyah here...knots on Jig-X can be a pain at times...especially when it's cold.

Plastics: I use a little of everything here. probably have 10-15 different brands in my bag right now. ZOOM and YUM! outnumber most of then though.

If I could afford to buy them more often I am sure LC would be added to any category they make lures in. I would love to have some of their cranks, jerkbaits, and more topwaters.


fishing user avatarRoLo reply : 

This is admittedly a stretch, but I'll be a sport:

Hardbaits: Bill Lewis Alias rat-l-trap

Soft Plastics: Zoom   Followed closely by Yum, Wave Worm & Uncle Josh (as in Sizmic)

Spinnerbaits: Lazer Eye

Jig: Outkast

Roger


fishing user avatar.ghoti. reply :

fishing user avatarThe_Natural reply : 

I can say that for hard baits, Lucky Craft is my hands-down favorite, but for every other Category, I don't have a clear favorite.

Plastics: Culprit, Venom, Yum, Strike King

Spinnerbaits: Terminator, Glamour Shad, Hawg Caller

fishing user avatarjustfishin reply : 

I hardly throw any cranks but for this cat. I would have to say Rapala---Husky Jerks,Floaters,DT-10 and 16.

Wiggle Wart in the old dark red color that was discontinued a few years back. It was almost a maroon.

Cotton Cordell--Super Spots

Norman --Baby N, Deep Baby N

Bomber--6A, 7A and Long A

Rogues

Zara Spooks

I make my own jigs.

" "         "     "   spinnerbaits but, the ones I do buy are War Eagle, Big Mouth (www.bigmouthlures.com ), and those old Hank Parkers. I don't know why but, I have a lot of luck on those HP'S.

Buzzbaits---Cavitrons, hands down.

Plastics---Zoom, Culprit, and I have really come to like the BPS Tournament Series. I buy my salty tubes in bulk by the gazillions from a friend.
