Favorite Lure that doesn't work?

[D4u2s0t]

the way my tackle box is set up, if I don't catch fish on a bait, it doesn't go in the box.  Everything in my box I have caught tons of fish on.  I don't try to force any baits that don't work for me, especially when I have baits that I know i'll catch fish on.

shaky head with a finesse worm.

it looks like it would be sooo delicious for bass but i haven't caught a thing on one.

[bigtimfish]

I can't catch fish on a spinnerbait this year.

[TruiteBR]

jerkbaits... I just cant catch a bass with them.

[AlphaMaxinIt]

On Toledo Bend, it is a white chatterbait.. I catch so much on that thing back in GA...

Here lately it has been everything in my tackle boxes

I know what you mean. This has just been a terrible year for me.

Count it 4! Lol. But my fav to throw when I'm hitting nothing are a couple of huge, ugly spinners I have. They're black/white and definitely scary. If I were a fish and it was headed for me, I'd run like hell (which is what happens) but I love watching them in the water.

I got a super shard rap in bluegill thats really letting me down. Im sure when the water really warms up it will start to produce.

Haven't had a strike on the Spro BBZ-1.

You too?

They sure appeal to anglers though ;)

Excellent looking bait in and out of the water. I can catch them on a sexy swimmer though. :

Side by side, double bladed buzzbaits.  Maybe the waters are too clear around here for such a noisy buzzer.

[Hammer 4]

What's funny is..nada on the dirty shad, but have got 2 on the regular shad..

Haven't had a strike on the Spro BBZ-1.

Hollow body frogs for me.

Trying to figure out how a lure that does not produce could be a favorite.

You shouldn't have any kind of favorite. Lures are nothing but a tool. Just as a screw driver is set for a specific job, a lure is set to do a specific job.

You'll catch more fish if you quit playing favorites.

Amen Brother.

Can't believe you guys have had no luck on the Spro BBZ shad! I absolutely "kill" em on the floater!

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

Despite my lack of success I still would like to get one of them in a floater. I got the slow sink only which isn't my cup of tea in the first place.

Deep diving crankbaits.  Honestly it's a technique issue rather then the lure.  I see people deep cranking & catching a ton of fish so I throw on my DD22 & start chunking but come up with nothing.  I'm getting better & had decent success during the pre spawn this year but I still look at my deep divers & think to myself "why don't you catch more fish".  In due time, in due time.

Me, too

I have a few that look like they would catch a ton of bass but not the case.  I have some that didn't produce fish before, now I found out that they only work in certain conditions in my area.  Most of my bait tends to be something simple or something I homemade and rigged up, which will catch more fish for me .  Here is my rather large list of no luck baits, granted some of these I've recently adopted and its been a slow year for fishing.

Deep divers: I have no luck with these (more apparently no skill I suppose).

Large Spinners I' catch a few fish on small spinners but not large ones.

Buzzbait:With buzz baits I've never had susses expect once, a spawning bass wouldn't take my bait so I kept rammming it in the side till it got ticked off .

Large Jigs: Catch many fish on small jigs but not big ones.

Swimbaits: No luck with these, really they look like a bass would love them.  I hope the BBZ-1 changes that.

Flukes: I've used these 2 years with little success after many poeple told me they are the best for bass, however a few weeks ago it produced a 1 Ib and 2 Ib Fish were nothing else would so we will see how it goes in the future.

GYCB Senko, or any of his products to be exact

[OHIO]

Every spinner I own

[bigtimfish]

Huddlestons and deep diving cranks. If it's a crank that dives deeper than 12' I will not catch anything. I can catch them on Bandit 300's and baits like that, just not the big deep divers. It's weird and a little frustrating.

[Ballpark Frank]

Anything with the word "jig" in it. I like using jigs, but I swear me and jigs just don't mix. I've caught one fish on a jig. One of these days I need to try a different lake and toss a jig around and see what happens.

That's me to a T. My jig collection is just that.... a collection.

My other no catch(actually few catch) bait is the Booyah Boogee. When I first got them, I think I dreamed that they caught fish. I have not caught anything on them in over a year.

[BassShephard]

Had to take back what I said about Large Jigs, I've had fair success with Large Tube Jigs (lot of success on small tube jigs).
