    I like the Berkley Powerlizard myself.  I usually use black, or black/blue, but I bought some watermelon/chartruese the other day I want to try.  I've actually had more luck on the plastic worms, but I keep hoping lizards will bring in a bigger fish.  Funny enough, I posted a similar question on the bass forum, but I'm not complaining.  Soft plastics are my favorite lure.
    On a clear night, I can hear the fish laughing.

    Right now it's a 4" amber flake sticko from BPS. The pond I've been going to is new though, and has nothing over two pounds in it. I've caught a nice three pounder elsewhere with them.

    My favorite soft plastic for bass is the Kreature. Rigged Texas style with a pegged bullet sinker. It is an excellent lure to target heavily weeded areas or make precise drops into structure.

    When fishing for Largemouth Bass, use a contrasting 2-toned 6" Curl Tail Worm, like a Violet w/White Belly and Tail, rig it Wacky Worm style, with as light a line as you can get away with and the appropriate hook size for the fish you are targeting. Cast out in a likely bass spot, like in the shade with a bright sun, without a weight on. The hook will let the worm fall slowly and naturally on a slack line. Once it hits bottom (if it does), raise the rod tip slowly to sweep the worm upwards (so your rod is at the 12 o'clock position), wind in the slack line, then drop the rod tip parallel to the water's surface to create more slack. Keep your eyes on the line (very important!), if the line starts to move, a fish has taken the worm, don't set the hook as you'll pull the worm out of his mouth, just open your bail, point your rod tip in the direction of the fish and count to 5. Close your bail and when your line goes tight, set the hook! This technique is absolutely deadly!!

    I have 4 plastic's that i can count on for a successful Large Mouth Bass fishing day. 1. Gander Mountain 5 inch Trick Stick Craw/Orange Wacky Style. (Looks like a green / orange camo color) 2. Gander Mountain 4 inch Beaver Tail Black & Blue. 3. Yum Crawbug Black & Blue 4. Berkely Sabertail Green Joker or Pumpkin Somedays I guess right some day's I just have to try them all. But one of these 4 will give me successful day.

    I like Southern Pro 3" curlytail grubs and Storm swimbaits. They are both available in a variety of colors and I've caught all species using them. I've also had great luck with 1 1/2" tube jigs fished the Charley Nuckols method.

    I like to use pre- rigged plastic worms when fishing docks and rocky areas and a texas rigged Strike King 6" ribbontail style worm ( I got lucky once and found them for $0.75 at Bass Pro)
    Tight lines.

    I use Deepcreeklures. 3'' craw monkeygrass in color and GY senko 5'' black with blue flakes.The deep creek lures have a strong garlic scent that the bass here in Wilmington NC love.

    I probably have over 500 lbs of plastics and I use many types for different situations, but If I had to have just one type it would be a 5 to 6" senko type stick baits. My favorite brand is either hawg pours or gamblers.

    my favorite lure to use for bass is the little joe spider from keitech. This lure is from a custom manufacturer and it is what i caught my first bass on. It can be used for smallmouth ang largemouth.

    StrikeKing's grape-scented worms are awesome! In stained water I use 6" worms, texas-rigged in the Black Fire and Purple Fire colors. Bass and catfish love'em.

    I was growing rather found of the Berkley PowerBait PowerWorm in motor-oil but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Right now, I'm really liking the same thing except in pumpkinseed.

    Redneck...I've seen a few other threads in here where finding those motoroil Powerbait worms was mentioned. Don't know why nobody is stocking them, I checked, and Berkley has them for sale on their website.  http://www.berkley-fishing.com/

    mo65... thanks for the info... I had thought that I had seen them there but wasn't quite sure. I'm going to the Myrtle Beach, SC Bass Pro Shop in June. I'm hoping to pick some up there then. Until then, I'll stick with the pumpkinseed worms. If not, then I'll look into ordering some from Berkley.
