*Hank Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Zoom and Gyb each have a good variety of types and colors but roboworm have great finesse type soft plastics those are the main 3 company's of soft plastics I use. Quote

Super User F14A-B Posted January 7, 2015 Super User Posted January 7, 2015 Berkley, Rage Craws, GYCB, Zoom, Elaztech, Quote
corn-on-the-rob Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I really can't think of a bait company that I would refuse to use, heck I think the discount generic baits keep up with the best of em (gander mountain brand, bps brand, etc). I may prefer others but that might be because I used certain brands first and gained confidence with them, not because they are actually better. With that being said, I do like berkley and roboworm for soft plastics and storm for cranks so far, but use plenty of other brands in combination with them. Quote

wytstang Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Rage Tail Netbait Gambler MegaStrike (just started to use there baits and I like there action and durability) Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 7, 2015 Super User Posted January 7, 2015 I like Berkley, I switched to them from a multitude of brands like GYCB, Reaction Innovations, Zoom, robo, SK etc.... I catch just as many fish, and at $2.99/bag for the Havoc's I am enjoying the same success on the water with more $$ in my pocket. The Havoc line pretty much has me covered from top to bottom for what I do. 5" stick........check...the flat dawg creature bait that come in a couple sizes, and can be used alone, on a punch rig, and as a jig trailer.........check.........the pit boss straight tail worms that I can flick shake, shaky head, c-rig, t-rig,............check...........the bottom hopper swim jig trailer..... double check..........the subwoofer, and grass pig versatile 4" baits that I can flick shake and drop shot with............. triple check.............the money maker, 4" bottom hopper, and the back slide swim bait.................. double check.............the sick fish, and grass pig compact punch baits............... double check............the slop craw, and devil spear wobble head jig bait.................double check.......... pit bosses, and devil spears craws with action claws..........double check..............craw fatty and rocket craw About the only Havoc plastics I don't use are the 3" Powerbait twitchtail minnows, 4",7"+ 10" power worms, 4" power grubs, and a couple of Gulp products. 3 Quote
gobig Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I wouldn't say that there is a best bait company. Each manufacturer seems to have one or a few baits that really excel. 2 Quote
bassguytom Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I use all of the above but really like Gambler. Quote
ChrisWi Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Every brand is different. I wouldn't get stuck on one. I personally am a fan or Big Bite Baits, Berkley, and Zoom. 1 Quote
fishinphilly Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 I use all of the above but really like Gambler. i love the scent on all gambler products Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Gambler, GYCB, Jackall and Berkley are my favorites. Quote
Heron Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 i love the scent on all gambler products Me too....soon as I opened the bag, I ate one. They work good. 2 Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted January 7, 2015 Super User Posted January 7, 2015 Zoom only for trick worms and flukes Reaction Innovations only for beavers and Skinny Dippers Rage for all others Mike This....almost...how about like this: Zoom only for trick worms and flukes Keitech for finesse and soft swim baits Rage for all others I carry (and use) a lot of other stuff, but I could probably safely cut back to just the above....except maybe some senkos....and perhaps some roboworms....and....man...who am I kidding....I NEED all 50 pounds of plastic that I carry 1 Quote
blongfishing Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Big Bite Baits!! also Berkeley Havoc. I really have favorite for each type of fishing(such as jig fishing is Greenfish Tackle and Siebert Outdoors, Topwater is Lucky Craft, and etc.) but overall its Big Bite Baits, Berkeley Havoc, and Greenfish Tackle.

primetime Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 For soft baits, I would go S. Plastics and for hardbaits, Pradco... Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted January 9, 2015 Super User Posted January 9, 2015 I feel as you've restricted your parameters a little. Let's expand "manufactures who produce bass baits" to manufactures who produce bass baits and walleye, crappie, trout, catfish and salt water species baits... and distribute their products world wide. Soft baits companies I'm impressed with are Berkley and Kalins. oe Quote
zeth Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 #1 Keitech I also use: Roboworm Don Lovino I don't use many others unless something is out of stock and I am forced to use another brand. Quote
Blues19 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 i feel like Strike King has the most diversity. Has its regular SK stuff, the KVD perfect Plastics, and then they added Rage Tail a few years ago. Good grief, you can get anything you want! They even have some of that Elaztech stuff! Cant go wrong with Strike King. That being said, I use a lot of Zoom, and Netbaits stuff too. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted January 10, 2015 Super User Posted January 10, 2015 Berkley and Big Bite Baits are my personal favorites. Lots of choices and good value. Quote
JT Bagwell Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Of course it's Yamamoto. Gary invented the Senko which is one of the most effective and versatile baits, plus it's been copied probably more than any other bait in history. Quote
