papajoe222 Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 I thought a fun topic might be: What specific lure (brand and model) do you own the most of? To take it a step further, name a hard bait and a soft plastic. I'll start with what surprised me: Bill Norman Deep Little N crankbaits. I have eighteen in my box and another seven on my pegboard of spares. (I thought Spooks would win out, but when I broke it down by specific models, they came up short) For soft plastics, overwhelmingly, the 7.5in. Culprit worm takes the honors. I own way more tubes than worms, but they're divided up so no one company can take honors here. I know we've done threads on favorite lures before, but this may be an eye opener for some as it was for me. I know........Papa has too much time on his hands. 4 Quote

Berkley 7" Power Worms. I'm not sure how many I have but I do have more than my local B&T shop has, unless they are holding out on me. 1 Quote
Dorado Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Cool topic. Pretty diverse with my hard baits so I won’t cover that, plus I’ve evolved into a soft plastic junkie over the past couple years. Unsurprisingly, grubs take the crown. Started fishing them in Colorado for saugeyes and walleyes. I discovered that they were bass magnets there and even more so in Arizona. Surprisingly, I have a surplus of Roboworms. I do not drop shot as much as I should, but when I moved here, every AZ angler told me they were mandatory to carry in your tackle box. 9 minutes ago, Gundog said: You beat me by 5 on the Deep Little N's.

Super User Angry John Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 Top hardbait is the kvd 1.5 squarebill. I have 10 and another 5 in 1.0. Most common worm 4" robo strait tail. It's because I got a bunch of coLors but only use Aarons magic. Quote
Super User tcbass Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 Bought too many Whopper Ploppers but I love them. Work great. Bought too many different hollow body frogs experimenting with them trying to make my own homemade Teckel Sprinker frogs. Ended up with Booyah Pad Crashers being the best but I have a lot of frogs I will probably never use again and new in the box. Quote
Glaucus Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Right now it's the Zoom Original Trick Worm in Green Pumpkin and Strike King Lil Mr. Money Spinnerbait in Firetiger. They're the deal in the places I fish. Quote
Happybeerbuzz Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Interesting topic. Now that you have me thinking about it, I don’t have more than two of any specific model of hard lure. This is only my third season back to fishing after a 25 year hiatus. I think I am still evaluating all the makes and models of all the hard baits on the market. With regards to soft baits, that’s easy. I probably have 7 or more different colored 5” GYCG Senkos. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 27, 2018 Global Moderator Posted May 27, 2018 I have 43 bags of sapphire blue Pit Bosses and almost as many in Lime-Purple Passion. They got discontinued, I panicked. Not going to pull all my hard baits out but I'm sure the RES is the winner in that category if you count all the variations I have of it from the little 1/4oz, silent, 2 taps, standard, and 3/4oz. 3 Quote

Super User Columbia Craw Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 You're killing me Joe. Normans Deep Little N's: 49 Over a dozen packs of 5 inch Senkos and Hula Grubs I just gave a buddy of mine a box of 27 Bandit 100's. I haven't thrown a Bandit in a long time I guess. Doug Quote
thinkingredneck Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Zoom trick worms. I have a metric crap ton of them. I have a hodge podge of hard baits and spinners. I have a lot of BPS brand, cordell, storm, and rapala Quote

long island basser Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Bass Pro shops 5 3/8 Stik-O. This is the only brand and size I’ve been throwing for well .....since they came out.lol. Manns baby 1- minus for the hard baits 14 of them. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 I'm not counting, but I would say Rat-l-traps. I have 4 3600 boxes in different sizes and colors. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted May 27, 2018 Global Moderator Posted May 27, 2018 A box of Square bill's that i can't tell you the last time I opened.. A box of traps that I can't tell you the last time I opened. Bags and bags of tubes that I bought about 3 years ago and never opened. 2/0 hooks Shaky heads Swivels Mike Quote
Super User Darren. Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 I'd say BPS Stik-Os nose out Zoom Finesse and Trick worms by a very slim margin in my arsenal. But I've got a lot of all three. Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 Lucky Craft Pointers 3" Berkley PowerBait tubes/ 4" Berkley PowerBait grubs (I've got a couple of large bulk bags of each from when I spent some time in the Berkley manufacturing plant.) oe 1 Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 I'd have to count... But it's either Bill Lewis Rat-L-Traps, or Rapala DT's. Plastics - Keitech Swing Impact Fat. Hands down. Quote
LonnieP Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Rattle traps. I have to keep a bunch because I’m constantly losing them but I catch a lot of bass on them. 7 inch power worms 1 Quote

Great, versitile soft plastic. Bring ‘em with next time you’re up this way. I’ll take ‘em off your hands and buy you and the Mrs. lunch. 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 Soft baits, it would be a neck and neck race between 5" Yum Dingers, and 4" Berkley Chigger craws. Hard baits...KVD 1.5's and it ain't even close. 1 Quote
