ohboyitsrobby Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Soft plastics: 10.5 cranberry yum ribbontail, fish a lot at night during summer and these seem to work almost year round. Hard bait: probably sk 5xd. I have a ton of different cranks and topwater but of a random variety. Quote
CTBassin860 Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Hard bait, I'm throwing a 3/8 tungsten jig from @Siebert Outdoors . Soft bait its a Havoc Pit Boss/SK Rage bug. Most of the time, the Pit Boss is on the back of that jig. Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 Bandit crankbaits with Norman crankbaits a close second. Zoom baby brush hogs and trick worms. War Eagle spinnerbaits. Quote
NittyGrittyBoy Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Softbaits, Zoom super salty fluke, packs on top of packs of them. Main color is baby bass Hardbaits, kvd square bills. Lots of them, local river eats em up. Main color red craw Quote

Bring ‘em with next time you’re up this way. I’ll take ‘em off your hands and buy you and the Mrs. lunch. Now that's a deal!! If we go to Bears camp this year we'll take a little detour and come up your way. Thanks Mike Quote
Way north bass guy Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Hardbaits- probably a tie between Strike King KVD jerkbaits and Stike King spinnerbaits, too many to count. Softbaits- again, likely a tie between 5” Senkos and Berkley Powerbait Thief’s, awesome little phlipling/pitching baits. Quote
BigAngus752 Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Wow. If I had just answered without looking I'd have been wrong. I would have said War Eagle or Strike King spinners. I was shocked to find that the winner for hard is actually Rat-L-Traps. Specifically the red craw. Granted I've caught a lot of fish with them, but I have so many! Soft baits is hands down lizards. All kinds, all colors. Which is stupid because I live in central Illinois where we don't have lizards. What the heck? Quote
Yumeya Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Lucky Craft Pointers. 2nd would be Keitech swing impact fat. Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 I have maybe 40-50 bags of Rage Shellcrackers due to some panic buying. I think that will be a lifetimes supply. 1 Quote
Super User Sam Posted May 27, 2018 Super User Posted May 27, 2018 Zoom finesse and trick worms. Senkos. KVD Strike King Sexy Shad crankbaits of all sizes. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 28, 2018 Super User Posted May 28, 2018 The arsenal is extensive, organized & balanced for what I like to do. Hard baits are dominated by Lucky Craft & Strike King. Soft baits are mostly Strike King, Berkley & I guess Zoom. A-Jay 3 2 Quote
mattkenzer Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Soft Plastics ...... Either the Rage Bug, Rage Craw or Rage Menace (I have my share of all three ) Hard Baits ...... Although I do not use them much anymore, my life long collection of the Original Floating Rapala would win the numbers game. Quote

That's my name - Box holds two different versions A FLIP 'N SWIM jig (top) and ALABAMA swim jig (bottom) ~ Both 1/2 oz A couple of my favorite sort of 'jack of all trades' jigs Killer designs with a solid hook. Can be fished effectively just about anywhere I'm likely to need a stout jig Works in Michigan - Works in Mexico Almost always have at least one Rigged & Ready A-Jay Quote

Super User WRB Posted May 28, 2018 Super User Posted May 28, 2018 I make my jigs in batches of 100 and have more then I know of. Order custom color soft plastic worms in 100 bags, keep 17 large Plano boxes full of various worms and creatures, more then I will ever use. About 50 Huddleston's 68 & 8" swimbaits along with a few dozen wooden models. Way too many crankbaits, jerk baits, top water lures, spinnerbaits and structure spoons. I don't know what I have the most of?? Roboworms maybe. Should take inventory! Tom 1 Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted May 28, 2018 Super User Posted May 28, 2018 Soft plastics: Zoom, by a long shot. Hardbaits: it's a tie between Norman deep baby n's and Rebel deep wee r. Quote
crypt Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Gambler ribbon tail worms,4 or 5 hundred at last count. Bomber long-a jerk bait 25 of em. Quote
