Most Productive Lure

[SOBass]

Ok, so people are always asking what you caught your biggest on, but I feel what lure you catch the most fish on would be more interesting to know. So what lure do you seem to catch the most fish on?

Gold/black Rapala minnow crank: Hasn't caught a big fish for me yet, but ALWAYS produces in quantity.
Baby Bass Bomber Model A: Produces a good amount of quality fish consistently for me.
Live Nightcrawler: ALWAYS catches fish, no matter where or when I am fishing (I know alot of bass fishermen seem to shun people who use this bait, but you have to admit it produces)

[River Ranger]

Lipless cranks are always a go to for me.

[Basshound]

I would Say Green pumpkin brush hog Fallowed by white 1/2oz spinnerbait with silver willow blades.

[HammerinHonkers]

Buzzbait
Green Tube
Roadrunner/beatle spin
Drop shot

All for smallmouth
For largemouth, nothing has outproduced a fluke for me.

[bass77]

Senkos are the best lure ever. They require almost no skill but I try not to use them so I can become better at other techniques.

[retaliate]

Worms.

[1bigfish]

For me lipless wins hands down.

For me it has got to be a robo worm fished many different ways. I will not leave home without at least 100.

[brackshooter]

Most productive for me over the years has been a 4 inch pumkinseed powerworm. I have caught hundreds of bass on these. Nowadays my favorite is the Zoom Superfluke, 1/4 ounce tandem willow leaf spinnerbait, and various swimbaits. Go to would have to be the fluke, above all else.

[phil strader]

For me, hands down #1 season in and season out....a brown jig,.
#2 a senko
#3 a spook

Pretty sure Kevin Van Dam is slapping 1million dollars against his forehead after winning the classic exclusively with a lipless.


I love lipless cranks. I'd like to try some of the lucky craft series, but I figure a Yo-zuri "rattle and vibe" is pretty tough to beat for half the price. I like fire-tiger. at $6.50 a pop its a great value in my opinion for a quality search bait.

If you would have been in the boat with us last year you would understand.

[Sgt.Slaughter]

yellow 1/8 or 1/4 rooster tail - silver or bronze blade - been workin for me since i was 10 yrs old - throw a worm on it if they're being finicky

[Bobby Brown]

Every year seems to be different for my "go-to-bait". One year it was a senko, one year a purple and brown jig, one year a crawdad speed trap, etc...
The year of the drop shot, I would drop shot worms, lizards, creature baits, etc... light line, heavy line, spinning reel, baitcaster... I was a drop shotting fool!!! I think there are so many different applications for a drop shot, it has to be up there with the best of them depending on the body of water and conditions.
I also have to just throw in a tube... on a jighead or texas rig or carolina rig or even a drop shot! Tubes can be fished fast, slow, high, low, etc... that is going to produce more fish even in changing conditions because you can adapt and fish it differently.

You aint gotta lie to kick it Bobby Brown.

We all know your most productive lure is crack, and a good right cross. Whitney fell for it every time. Hook.Line.Sinker.

Ahhh....the old inside joke rears its ugly head. Someone must have forgot their tackle box full of Silver/Blue lipless in the garage!

Nice!

[Basshound]

Now that was funny. Everytime someone in the shop at work does somthing "dumb", we refer to it as "pulling a Whitney"

[phishhead]

I'd go with a Rapala. I have fished them for many years and they always produce.

[DJD]

My all time most productive bait is probably a white mini-whacker spinnerbait, followed by the fat gitzit, next would be the 5 inch grub and then the purple senko....Wont be long now....

Now you did it. Whitney read this last night and left me a note this morning. She is on a jet going to some witch doctor to put a curse on you. She gets crazy like that from time to time. If you don't catch any fish this year you can dub it "the Whitney curse". Why do you think I came up with the song "Don't be cruel"???

Good luck!

[boblag]

It's a tie between lipless cranks and brush hogs. For sight fishing it's a 4" Roboworm in oxblood.

flashers and worm

What's a "Senko"?

[Bass78]

My best ever is a 3" tube (green) with a split shot about 18" up the line.

[catfishman89]

Jig and a Pig.Fish it slow in winter fast in summer.

[tnj8222]

Most productive for me is a 1/4 oz jig no skirt with a single tail yama grub. Hard to fish it wrong.

[Dan360]

Its a toss-up between texas rigged 5 inch grub or texas rigged 4.5 inch tube.

[Hunt'nFish]

Depends on time of year, where, and what species we're talking.
I'll break down my most productive by Type & Species.

Largemouth:
Spinnerbait: big 1/2oz Hilderbrant green/gold
Crank: Firetiger Magwort
Plastic: 6-7" blue/purple Seducer worm texas rigged

Smallmouth:
Spinnerbait: white or black Mini-King silver willow w/ matching curlytail instead of skirt.
Crank: Norman Middle or Little-N Craw or StrikeKing SX1 in perch
Plastic: 1. Carolina rigged Baby Brushhog watermelon/red flake or that Texas red color
2. Dry Creek tube in JB Special (watermelon red flake) or a craw pattern.
3. 3" Senko (Alluring Bait's trick stick) in smoke red flake and watermelon.

I guarantee one of those will be my most productive that day.

[acm95301]

Winter: Green pumpkin tube, 3/4 oz Berserkbaits football jig

Spring: Ripbaits, Lipless crankbaits, DD22 normans
Tubes, drop shot

Summer: wacky senko
drop shot roboworm MMIII
Drop Shot reaper baits

Fall: zoom super fluke , pearl.
Wacky rig- senko 4in





I've also had alot of luck on in-line spinners

[SuperT]

1. 7" Pumpkinseed Berkeley Bungee Worm (I really wish they still made these things!)

2. White and red spinnerbaits (size and blade color really haven't seemed to matter)

3. Just about any rooster tail, the best being a 1/4 oz. orangish one with a crawdad etching on the body.

[c_hawks]

3 inch waterm red an blac flake is the key! the double tail in the same color works good! green pumpkin with blac flake worked really good! any 3 to 4 inch senko will work great 2! to many snags in the willy to toss a lipless crank bait from the bank!

[kill2hunt]

i stay with plastics down here in socal. i love robo worms, they catch more fish for me at any time of the year than any other. i drop shot, texas and carolina rig them and catch fish.

If you like those, you gotta check out these new "sebille"(i think thats how you spell it) brand lipless cranks, i havent picked any up yet, but they look dynamite. Theyre like the lucky craft ones, but half the price.

Most Productive:
#1 black and blue laminate senko never fails me
#2 fire tiger crank (bomber)
#3 Spinnerbait trailered with a kahlins 5" grub

[Tar Heel]

Lipless cranks are good search lures, but for my money, once I find em, I'll crash a deep crank off the rocks on the bottom and catch bigger fish than a free swimming lipless crank.
