How Many Brands Do You Carry?

[joelhains]

I make my own soft plastics. I make my own spinnerbaits. I make my own jigs. Hard baits are the only things I buy off the self. For me 90% of my crankbaits or hard jerkbaits are Rapalas. I have a select few from other brands, but I have confidence in these baits so that's what I throw.

The only soft plastic I use with any regularity is a fluke, Zooms work just fine.

Same here.

I have many different brands of plastics overall but I tend to "cherry pick" a few lures from each company that really work for me and stick with them. In the case of beaver baits I've tried a few but only really fish two, the original Sweet Beaver from RI and the D-Bomb from Missile Baits. I'm really glad I don't have to narrow my selection down to a handful of brands but if forced I think I could, Zoom, Net Bait, Rage, and Gambler could more than likely get me through.

Well frog fishing I have narrowed the baits down to 4. Snag Proofs Ish's frogs (both), Live Target's Field Mouse, and Sproz's Bronzeye Shad.  

 

As for the list of plastics,

 

Kietech

Netbait 

GY

Missle

Zman

Zoom

Yum

Strike King & Rage Tail

Each bait has it's place and time.  I've swapped craw/creature baits several times till I find the look they are wanting.  You know when you find it.  

 

The only way you find baits you like is to fish them all and keep the ones you like.  The others, give them away to the local kids at the park fishing or buddies that want them.
