Whats your all time favorite bass lure?

Any surface lure. I use single and double buzz baits, poppers, chuggers, and walk the dog baits. I particularly like Hula Poppers, Jitterbugs, Pop-Rs, Zera Spooks, and Bubblehead fly rod poppers.

I fish multi species and use Jigs 75% of the time.
Colors depend on conditions but anything with chartruce works for me.

I love my crankbaits, a Strike King in Tennessee shad does the trick for me, though my favorite overall thing in general to use for bass is a BH Prince Nymph. Caught my first bass on the fly with one of those, it was 2 inches long but it still counts! Great little fly, and Strike King makes some great cranks for bass. You'll never find me on the water without one each.

Thats a tough question. My favorite bait changes from day to day, month to month, year to year. 09 was senkos. 10 was Rapala X Rap. 11 was wakebaits. 12 is YTBD. Crainkbaits seem to always work, so maybe that is my overall favorite.

If I can narrow it to two I'd say a Strike King Mini King and a 6" Zoom lizard. Those are my best producers lifetime. There are some other baits that I do really well with, but those are my favorites and I always have plenty of each around

ive never had a place i couldnt catch at least one fish with a zoom trick worm

I have tried a bunch and have by far had the most success with a Texas rigged black worm with blue flakes.

Berkly Power Bait 7 inch Power Worm in Motor-Oil and Culprit 10 inch worm in Crawdad are my go to baits. If I don't catch something on these two, I pack it in for the day. Sadly, I'm down to my last 10-pack of the Power Worms and can't find them in Motor-oil anywhere. I think they're discontinued and no other worm the same color comes even close. Now I'm trying them in Pumpkinseed but it's just not the same.

Hey Redneck, I was just looking at Berkley's website, and they have the motor oil and motor oil/red flake Power Worms on there. Another great color is the natural earthworm...also hard to find in the stores. Despite all these new formulas for plastic worms, good ol' Power Worms still produce more bass for me.
                                                                 
                                                              

Motor oil is a good one. But I have had the best luck with the zoom finesse watermelon magic. That’s one of my favorites

Happy Fishing

Any top water bait for me. Not that I catch more fish on them, boy I wish! It's the strike of the bass on a top water that makes it my favorite.

I would have to say crankbaits, you can cover alot of water to find the fish. Also love to worm fish texas rig or wacky..JOHN

Jigs and topwater all around. In the fall, nothing beats a spro frog though. Got a 6lb lunker on a spro this year at a local pond. Almost lost her, had to jump in and grab her. Totally worth the wet shoes

i love tubes, and about any other soft plastics.

by far the best lure for me is whatever l catch fish with. it doesnt matter if its a top water or a spinner or a soft plastic or a crank bait or a rattle bait. if l catch fish with it l will put it in my arsenal. the more versatile you are the better fisherman you will be

I'd have to say I've caught my largest Bass on a Green Snag-Proof Frog.

my best lure by far and always catch fish is a jointed jitterbug. i never seem to go empty handed even when nothing else works

Lipless crankbaits! With the right size, color, and retrieve, there isn't any condition you can't catch bass in. Except for extremely thick grass.

I personally like big 15inch worms by NetBait… In the hotter weather they seem to work pretty good down here at falcon lake! I have caught my biggest bass on one of those!

I really like crankbaits and soft plastics...but my best producer...year in and year out...is the spinnerbait. I would not want to bass fish without one!
                      

I'm in the same boat with mo..Crankbaits and soft plastics...But i love to catch bass on top water frogs.There is nothing more fun then to get a fish on a top water lure......JOHN

june bug zoom worm any size

Spinnerbait double tandem in gold with a white top chartreuse bottom and a blue blood line in the skirt. Kills em here for me in so cal.

i really like the yum watermelon salted beaver tail plastics. they work great no matter what ive caught TONS of bass on them

I've had a ton of luck with these,

Hula's are my go-to

Gary Yamamoto Senko 5" green pumpkin and also just started using Strike King's Smokin Rooster

I never thought it would be good for bass... but were I fish and this time of the year you cant beat those little rebel grasshopper topwaters.

Honestly, I always find myself resorting back to night crawlers ! lol

I enjoy frog/slop fishing most so I'd have to say a Scum frog natural color or white rat.

Believe it or not, one of my most productive bass lures has been the 4" Creme Scoundrel worm in natural color. I rig them to "swim" and fish them with a slow stop and go retrieve.

Thats a hard one to answer for me, it all has to do with what time of yr it is , water clearity, water temp, time of day .. But i will alway's throw a crankbait , and some type of worm ( wacky or texas rig ) I would have to say a crankbait would be my goto bait.....JOHN

black and red bass pro buzz bait

My favorite all time bait is a Yum Senko!

Either a senko or spinnerbait.. can do so much with those..

It's changes from pond to pond(or any waterway) for me.
I have had the most luck with Texas rigged worms and Chatterbaits
of all different colors this year. I throw the whole tackle box at em
until I start hookin' whatever lure that happens to be on instantly
becomes my favorite for the day!

While I am always going to love the two inch Rattlin' Rapala in baby bass color, I am really liking the Keitech swing impact in silver flash minnow. Bass love them and pickerel SLAM them!

i donts fish fer bass to much but when I do I likes to use a black buzz bait. I lost mines last one about a year ago so now I donts fish for them no more.

Since you lost your best bass lure Big Jonesy...why don't you try the bait some gal suggested in here last year. She uses a chunk of onion and says the bass fight for it.
                                                                    

Bass like a big gob of nightcrawlers as much as anything else. Why waste money on lures when you can catch them on free worms?

I tend to try several different ones on a given day on the water, but my overall favorite would have to be soft plastics. Texas or Carolina rigged. All different styles and colors.

Spring time: Space Monkey or Smoking Rooster on a shakey head jig, Joe's Flies, Berkley Sick Minnows on weighted swimbait hook
Summer: Hollow body frogs, flipping jigs, wedge head jigs with crawfish or creature bait trailers, 10" worms on a weighted jig head
Fall: the one and only lure I use all fall long is the Huddleston Deluxe Golden Weedless Shad

Fishing area is Central PA.

Crankbaits all the way! Rapala Jointed Shad Rap in Silver Shad color... Whenever I feel lost, I pull out the Silver Shad!

lucky craft crankbaits

For night time Heddon Jitterbug for day time Cordell 2 inch Big 0. MCOPELAND1

I usually go with lipless crankbaits or soft-plastic craws rigged Texas or Carolina style.

I really have good luck with 3/8 oz white chatterbait with 6 in chartruse worm. But all soft plastics are good here in Indiana.

For me as of late,has to be a 6" SENKO..
Been fishing it for the past 12 years and still loving it as if i just got it..

Mine has to be a crankbait from Bandit "splaterback" color in 100 or 200 sieries.
Although i got turned onto wacky worm fishing in the "lakes" last year and for a slow finese bait I tore up the smallies so will do more of that this year if the weather ever warms up. Warm weather cant get here fast enough for me.

My all time favorite bass lure... Is probably a cheap country store carded generic trout spinner. I hardly ever fish in-lines anymore. I don't even think I have any in the boat, but I "figured out" my first fishing presentation problem and caught my first bass on one in 1974 at this spot:

https://maps.google.com/?ll=32.839043,-114.440318&spn=0.000798,0.001206&t=h&z=20

My dad saw bass stacked up under the wash bridge, but the current was ripping that day. No way to fish it according to him. I suggested we cast in-lines across the current and back wind them to let them sweep under the bridge were the bass were hanging out in the shade. The current spun the blades, and for the first half dozen casts each we got slammed on every back wind and sweep. When we didn't get bit right away we would have to burn them back to keep them from getting swept into the bank.

Yeah, I know. A bunch of internet scouters are going to pound that spot now, but it might be worth it just to tell the tail. When I die put a plaque there that says I caught my first bass in that spot in 1974. LOL.
