Bazoo Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 Interesting.

Super User A-Jay Posted July 31, 2024 Super User Posted July 31, 2024 Changes a bit every year for me ~ Last year looked like this: https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/258333-productive-baits-2023-~/ Year before looked like this: https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/252064-productive-baits-~-2022-big-fish-edition/ This year's MVB's have yet to be determined. But so far it's pretty close to what's already listed above Fish Hard A-Jay 2 1
Bass Rutten Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 The first four get the majority of water time due to effectiveness and rigging versatility of plastics, and also being primarily a finesse fisherman and co/backseater.

Not really been fishing diving cranks or any size, haven't been fishing bladed jigs at all, haven't really fished much non frog or buzzbait topwater besides some spurts with a spook early in the spring. Looking forward to winter and throwing some hard baits!

Bazoo Posted August 2, 2024 Posted August 2, 2024 I have a little bit of everything but I stick to less than the ones I mentioned 99% of the time. Most of the time I am perfectly happy with worms, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits.

Super User MIbassyaker Posted August 8, 2024 Super User Posted August 8, 2024 I tried 3 times to make a list, but gave up. I can list way more than 10 lures that are "pretty good" or I can list fewer than 10 lures that are "must have" Here they are: -Worm -Jig -spinning blade (spinner/spinnerbait) -topwater plug (e.g., popper) -diving plug (e.g., crankbait)
