So what lure completely disappointed you? Mine is the Sebile magic swimmer. This things looks great coming through the water and never caught a dam thing.

Dark Sleeper but it’s mostly because I haven’t given it a chance.  There are some on these boards that rave about them but I always seem to grab something else.

A Beetle Spin.  In 20 years of fishing I have only caught 1 dink with that bait.

I've had several DD LM follow my 9" Magic Swimmer but they won't hit it.

My Triple Trout only produces sub 2 lbers where large fish live.

SK 1.5 and 2.5 KVD SB. These things just don’t catch fish for me, maybe 2 bass total and I have tossed it a lot. The 1.0 KVD SB on the other hand has produced well for me. No idea why those 2 are zeros for me.

Paddle tail swim baits...I've caught very few on them and given them more time than I should have

SK 1.5 flatside was a disappointment. I will stick with the OG slim.  
 

Still have not caught anything on a chatterbait….

dark sleeper by far. i have like 8 of them in every size and weight and have thrown them a ton. never once got a sniff

Definitely a Chatterbait. I have bought probably 5-6 jackhammers and can’t get a bite to save my life. I fish grassy ponds almost exclusively so it’s prime chatterbait water. I’ve experimented with trailers, colors, retrieves, rods, line, everything and I still have never caught one on a chatterbait.

I actually caught a fish on my first cast with one.

 

And have never caught another one.

That was my exact issue as well and then one day it just exploded with results. Give it some more time it will happen my friend.

There have been several hit and miss baits for me but this years disappointment has been the Berkley Stunna. I can't say why but it has not produced well for me.  Pointers and Vision 110's have still been doing their thing but this bait just does't get bit as much.

This surprises me. I have always caught fish on this bait. It's kind of become my "I ain't going to get skunked today" bait. My two issues with it are that it is a rock magnet and it's not that durable.  What I do is I bounce it like a jig and the bass kill it.  If I fish it like a little swimbait, it doesn't do well.

Aside from the gimmick  1990's that really stunk (Helicopter lure, Flying lure, Banjo minnow)...

 

Mine would have to be the Zara Spook. Looks great, wonderful action...just never produced.

 

I worked top-water much more when I lived in Missouri...here in Nebraska, the wind always seems to be howling...

  I found that high  winds caused 2 separate locations. VERY upwind water. And very down wind area. In between were rare fish.
