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. :goofy1:

You beat me by 5 on the Deep Little N's. They are just a great bait. As far as soft plastics that is easy. 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. :D

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.

7” Power Worms are one of my confidence baits. They never let me down.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rattle traps. I have to keep a bunch because I’m constantly losing them but I catch a lot of bass on them.

You’re missing out by not using them. 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.

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.
