My all time favorite lure is the Rat-L-Trap, in FireTiger, I just have confidence in using it. 2nd I would have to use a Spinner Bait, either Red/Black or White/Chartruese depending on the water clearity ofcourse. Then I guess it would be a toss up between a Football Jig with a trailer, or a Texas rigged Soft Plastic Stick Worm, for that Spring fishing, the bigger the better, but atleast a 5" worm.
