Never have I ever....

[Luke Barnes]

What have you NEVER caught a bass on? Especially popular lures that get alot of praise. I'll start.

 

Never have I ever caught a fish on a hard jerk bait or never caught a fish on the wacky rig.

You need put mor effort in that box or sell it to me. I’ve caught fish on just about every bait in that box.

I've never caught a bass on a 1973 AMC Gremlin.  Well?  It's true!

 

What's that?  Lures?  Ooooooooh.  Dropshot.  I have never, ever, caught a bass dropshotting.  Waaaay too boring for me to bother with.

Carolina Rig. Tho it may have something to do with that fact that I've never fished it. ?

Timing has to be right to throw those but once you catch one on a glide, man you'll never put it down!  Very addicting bite!

C-rig was going to be my answer. But, similar to you, I've only thrown it 2-3 times. Just always think I have better options.

Fish those baby bullshads with a stop and go throw in some twitches. I caught a few over 4lbs on them this past fall/summer.

[BrianMDTX]

Never ever on a hard jerkbait, lipless crank, square bill or a frog. 
 

But...as of March 2020 I never ever caught a bass on a plastic worm of any type, a spinnerbait, a jig, a fluke, any topwater, a craw, and I’m probably omitting something. And all those “never evers” are now dust. 
 

When someone is looking over your prostrate body and ending his words with “In nomine Patris et Filii, Spiritus Sancti.”...that’s never ever time. Until then, keep casting!!!

Never caught a bass on a jointed glide bait...........

And yes I have a few and have used them......although not much.

[Sir Shamsalot]

So far... a buzz bait.

[DitchPanda]

Whopper plopper...to be fair I finally got one last year and only threw it a few times. I havent caught much on a drop shot....I'd much rather throw a Ned.

[Jigfishn10]

Red Eye Shad...Any other lipless crank and "FISH ON!"

[roadwarrior]

You guys are killin' me.

 

[Luke Barnes]

Forgot about the carolina rig. Ive thrown it on three outings and nothing. If I did get any bites I couldn't detect them so I gave up. 

[scaleface]

Chatterbait

[813basstard]

Ned.

But I threw it for around 18 minutes. But in those 18 minutes I felt I couldn’t get bit in 18 hours so I didn’t anymore. 

[ironbjorn]

I think I've caught a bass on every bass technique that I've actually fished, but I don't think I'll ever pick up a spinnerbait again. 

[Jig Man]

Swimbait that wasn’t on a bladed jig or Arig.

Swimbait and chatterbait

That's going to be my focus bait/ lure this year.

Chatterbait

What in the F is going on here? A T-rig, a buzzbait ,a red eye and a chatterbait? So 2 of the most classics lures...a lipless crank that KVD won a classic on...and the biggest lure craze outside of the NED that helped win the classic last year..oh and the year before... I feel ill!

My buzz-bait failure stems more from using it just a few times with little immediate success. I used to be like that with spinnerbaits. Having put some serious quality time into it, it's became a goto lure for me. 

 

It's the bane of having too many lures with you. If there's no immediate success, you switch to things that work for you instead of having the patience to learn something new.
