Buzzbait - mainly because I haven't fished them much

I think I saw that you had mentioned that somewhere in another thread, and that is partly why I started this thread. Well, that and to confess that I had never caught a fish on a Senko, and RW even made a post about how if you just can't seem to catch a bass, to get a Senko in #194 (I have the #297 which is as close to that as you can get IMHO) and fish it as he prescribes.

 

And I haven't caught a lot on buzzbaits, but on one particular trip to TX they were on the money.

I’m going to quit reading this thread because thanks to some of you I will add Carolina rig, Ned rig, and Whopper Plopper to my ever growing list. ?

When Whopper Ploppers first came out, it seemed like cheating. But the last couple years I can't buy a keeper bite on one. It makes me feel like every single bass over 12" has been caught by one and they all vowed to never again bite one.

Rat-L-trap.

 

Its the only one left in my arsenal that has never gotten bit.

[Matthew Pye]

Anything I was actually trying to catch one on.

Crazy to see so many of my top producers on other people's list!  But my answer will blow a lot of people away too so...

 

Jerkbait.

Jigging spoon for this guy. Although I’ve never tried so does that count?

[Koz]

I haven't caught anything on an A-rig or on a large swimbait. Oh - and a plain, soft plastic craw. I catch plenty with craw trailers, but never when throwing them on a hook and fishing them solo.

Red Eye Shad lipless crankbait. I've got 4 or 5 other different lipless crankbait brands that all have caught fish but the only thing I hooked on a RES was my hand...don't ask

Well, it does ignore the "try as I might" portion of the question. Surely there is something, or maybe not  ?

Have dozens of bags of them. Know they are a good worm. Feel they will get bit. But have not caught numbers and quality of bass on an Iovino Worm.

If you said you had caught a bass on something you never put in the water I would have nominated you for President of the United States.

Carolina rig 

 

Zara spook 

 

Zoom ol monster 

 

@TnRiver46 the 4"Dead Ringer on a shakeyhead or tx rigged had been a staple for.me for years.

I won’t add anything I haven’t seriously fished with, as it’s a no-brainer I haven’t caught anything on those lol. 
 

On lures I fished a few or more times, I’d have to say a jig and craw. I’ve caught bass (not many) on jigs with Keitech trailers, but never on a craw. Maybe due to fishing ponds? Then again, I’m not that experienced with jigs. 
 

But so far this year I’ve caught my first bass on:

 

Topwater- Whopper Plopper 90

Spinnerbait- I think it was a War Eagle

Plastics- TR and WR Senkos; Zoom Tricks and Mag 2’s; Mann’s Jelly Worm

Jig- some old jigs I’ve had for 40+ years lol

 

All-in-all I can’t complain! 

[haggard]

Try as I might, never have I ever caught a bass on a    day on the water   

[ironbjorn]

Buzzbait is the popular lure that I've literally never caught a bass on because it doesn't work out for me.

 

Spinnerbaits and bladed jigs I have caught bass on but it's so few and far between that I've pretty much given up on them. I can throw squarebills, lipless crankbaits, swim jigs, swimbaits etc and they get munched but spinnerbaits and bladed jigs repulse the bass when it's I who am throwing them.

[Mobasser]

Chatterbait. Everyone and their dogs catch all kinds of fish on them, but they just don't work for me.

[Bluegillslayer]

spinner bait

[Log Catcher]

Ned Rig, wacky rig, Rattle Trap, Hula Popper, drop shot, and a rare day when I catch one on a Chatter Bait. Never caught anything on Yum soft plastics I tried years ago. 

[Catt]

Full size Brush Hogs ?

[crypt]

jigging spoon........

[ajschn06]

Oh man... I’ve got a lot....

 

senko

drop shot

ned rig

carolina rig

spoon of any kind

Whopper Plopper 

Tube

 

Im sure I’m missing some... the caveat would be that I’ve probably spent less than a half hour total fishing anything on that list

That would not have been a bait I guessed to be your nemesis, but bass fishing can be a cruel mistress.

[king fisher]

Texas rigged worm.  I have caught bass on worms, weightless(Texas rigged without a sinker) wacky, Carolina, split shot, and on a jig or shaky head.  I have caught bass on creature baits and craws Texas rigged, but never on a regular Texas rigged worm.  I know I just admitted to the ultimate crime in bass fishing.  Please don't send the bass police to come take my crankbaits, and spinnerbaits away.  I promise to catch a T rigged bass before the end of the year.
