Any Lures with a Perfect Record?

[Dorado]

I have four lures that have been skunk-less (2016 -YTD 2017) at various waters and used numerous times to get placed in a special category. Largemouth bass, along with some channel cats, have all fallen victim here. How much longer can they keep the streak alive? 

 

1. White Zoom Grub (3") on a chartreuse Roadrunner
2. Zoom Trick Worm (Candy Bug) Tx-Posed on a 3/0 Gama G-Lock -Weightless
3. Strike King Red Eye Shad - 1/4 oz Chrome w/ Blue Back
4. Roboworm FAT straight tail - SXE Shad on a dropshot with a Roboworm Rebarb hook. 

 

Anyone else here? One rule, has to have a flawless record after at least three outings on the water.

The Trick Worm and Cordell Super Spot are the closest things I have to a sure thing.

The GYCB Hula Grub is close as well.

For a while it was the Zoom Craw and the Berkley Chigger Craw.

And then there's the Rooster Tail.

BooYah Buzzbait has not let me down once this season. River smallies can't get enough of it. Every other bait I have is jealous.

 

[Djohn]

On the river it's a Fat Ika 

[Siebert Outdoors]

1/4 Dredge shaky head and a rage menace gp purple gold.

[Attila]

Rapala Shadow Rap and Shadow Rap Shad in yellow perch...they've been getting smallmouth, largemouth, walleye, and musky all season long.

 

The other lure that I've not been skunked with this year is the Spro Bronzeye 65 hollow body frog in midnight black.

Z Man TRD in pumpkin and a 100 series Bandit crankbait in tenn shad.

Any Lures with a Perfect Record?

 

Nope .

[Mike L]

Ya know

After I hit send I thought about it more.,There have been times the two I posted didn't produce. 

Not many but it has happened. 

 

 Just this past weekend at the BFL Championship. 

I started with the Cut R but because we were in search mode I changed, which ended up being the absolute best move I made all year!

 

Soooo, I rescind my previous response. ?

if you aint ever been skunked you aint ever been vaccinated for lying

[IndianaFinesse]

Ned rig and shaky head, at least if you're only counting the times I gave them a fair shot.  Sometimes I will only make two casts or something with a bait, not counting those.

[HookRz]

Of course, the "Ned". But you can add 2 3/4 inch tubes, both hair and marabou jigs, and a few other plastic critters on 1/32nd and 1/16th oz heads, midwest Finesse style. Zoom Finesse worms on spider sliders too, on slightly heavier spinning rod. 

 

The only topwater to make the no-skunk list is probably a buzzbait at night. That's probably because I love to fish topwater plugs and use them when I shouldn't. 

[Pro Logcatcher]

I wouldn't say it's perfect, but the drop shot has usually caught me fish every time I go out.

[AC870]

Seems like every time I find the killer bait, they quit biting it the next time out. But Guntersville bass are fickle like that it seems. 

[Fried Lemons]

Back to basics this season. 1/4 oz ballhead jig with a 3" power grub on the river. Not a perfect bait but pretty close at like 80%. I've caught largemouth, smallmouth, striped, and rock bass on this thing as well as the occasional walleye/catfish. Almost makes me feel bad about all those expensive hard baits I have sitting in the box.

Next month it will be 22 months straight that little setup has produced, sometimes I started with it and sometimes I finished with it.

I used a Junebug Zoom finesse worm on a spider slider during the postspawn and it got tons of fish this year. I have zero confidence with hair and Marabou jigs. In need to change that...... going to try the float and fly technique this winter with some Spro Phat flies.

truth! I have quite the collection building up of expensive hard baits too that haven't seen a single tooth. Then I'll spend a couple bucks for a pack of grubs that will keep my rod bent a year long. 

[CroakHunter]

I don't throw it every time I go out, but the magnum rage bug has produced big fish for me every time I have given it a fair chance. Pitching, jig trailer, chatterbait trailer, wobble head etc.

[islandbass]

No for me. The closest thing to near perfect is live bait, lol. 

[Angealy]

I've done well with live bait, berkley trout worms, senko, frogs always get me some kind of fish.

Like today, I was killing it on my fly rod setup, Used just a pink berkley trout worm, small hook and everything wanted it.

I got a bunch of panfish and even a bass they really love these things.
