ZbestBassman Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I think now that there are about a billion lures out there to choose from, which to a new angler could be daunting! If you could only pick one what would it be? and why? 1 Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted May 30, 2019 Super User Posted May 30, 2019 Easy answer, a Senko by far. Simple to rig, catches fish, works in all conditions. 8 Quote
ZbestBassman Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 That would be my choice as well specifically a GYsenko in black and blue Quote
Super User scaleface Posted May 30, 2019 Super User Posted May 30, 2019 Each body of water is different . Clarity , cover , structure , low-land , high-land , rock , mud...My favorite lure depends on where and when I'm fishing . 4 Quote
Allaroundfishing Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Kvd 1.5 in Tennessee shad, year round fish catcher, dirty or stained Quote
river-rat Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I live in South Louisiana. I'd have to pick two - a spinnerbait and a 1/2 jig 1 Quote
Black Hawk Basser Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I'd say a spinnerbait. Close 2nd is a 3/8 or 1/2 oz skirted jig with a craw trailer. Senko is probably the most universal fish catcher. But, snooze. 1 Quote
RichF Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Hollow body frog and a 3/4 oz jig. Big fish baits. Quote
Dogface Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I have to go with the Senko guys if we're talking about LM in most bodies of water. I have some favorites for SM in certain bodies of water. In the St Lawrence my favorite is a twister tail on ball head jig. In the Susquehanna I do better most often with Rebel crawfish and Beetle Spins. Quote

Super User WRB Posted May 30, 2019 Super User Posted May 30, 2019 As a category soft plastic worms including Senko's are the most universal bass lure made. Soft plastics can be rigged weightless, with several different types of weights and rigging. The same plastic worm for example can be hooked weedless, nose hooked exposed point, wacky hooked using the same rig or hook 1 way and trigged with a sliding bullet weight, pegged bullet weight, split shot, cyclinder mojo weight, drop shot weight and nail weight. All of those options can be used on standard worm, creatures, craws, Senko, Sluggo, tubes etc. the soft plastic worm has caught and will continue to catch more bass then all other lures combined.

Armtx77 Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Yep, a black and blue fleck, 5" Senko on a 4/0 Gamakstu Offset EWG Hook, tied onto 15lbs Sufix 832. Quote
Manly Studson Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Part of the fun is trying different lures and presentations. But if I must choose only one... the Senko. Quote
Glaucus Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I have a handful of favorites. 4 and 5 inch Senkos, finesse trick worms and original trick worms, KVD 1.5 squarebills, 1/4oz Rat-L-Trap, Ned Rig, 75/90/110 Whopper Plopper. I fish these more than anything because they work. Quote
waymont Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 All types of jigs, from Ned rigs, Bitsy Bugs, 3/8oz bass jigs.....all my favorites. 1 Quote
Dorado Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Changes by the month. This month: Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Worm Last month: 5”senko ever since I’ve started fishing heavily with worms, my catch rate has gone up tenfold 1 Quote
DougHall_NY Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Siebert Outdoors swim jig with a Rage Tail Menace trailer. Never lets me down. Quote
riverbasser Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Surprised at all the senko answers. I could see if he asked for your favorite fall back lure. While they catch fish senkos are certainly not my favorite thing to fish. My answer to favorite lure consist of what I would throw if catching was a guarantee no matter the bait. Spinnerbait - just fun to fish and work through cover Hollow frog - solely for the way bass blow up on them. Every strike is priceless 1 Quote
