I enjoy it all but there's somethings I use for certain situations...

And I don't have a 'favorite' lure, but there are some times of lures that I use more often such as YUM Dingers, ZOOM Finesse worms, starting to like Jigs, and most topwater (including Spooks, poppers, plastic frogs, and even weightless rig a worm and swim it over grass).

There is just something about pitchin a jig that you don't get from crankbaits.

I tend to use softplastic more than anything else but my favorite to catch fish on is any topwater bait.  Nothing beats seeing a big o bass jump out of the water to hit some floating/buzzing/popping lure.

Plastic worm is the only lure made that a BASS CANNOT REMEMBER!

My favorite class of lures are jerkbaits.

My favorite jerkbait is the Lucky Craft Pointer 128.

My most productive lures are soft plastics. The top three are:

#1 GYCB Fat Ika

#2 GYCB 6" Senko

#3 Micro Munch Tackle El Gordo tube

Best "new for me" in 2007:

GYCB Kreature fished like a spinnerbait

3/8 oz Cavitron Buzzbait (black on black)

Mattlures Baby Bass

1/2 Micro Munch Tackle jig with a GYCB Flappin' Hog trailer

i like burning crankbaits, it's alot more fun reeling in a bait at high speeds rather than letting it sit like a worm.  And instead of know where it is like a topwater, you get more of a suspense thrill not knowing what it's doing under water

.... if this makes any sense at all

Rattletraps. It is my condfidence baits. I also us the larger chrome and blue ones while trolling for Spanish Mackeral along the beach. Man I miss the summer already.

If you continue fishing crankbaits, you will develop a feel for EXACTLY what it is doing and EXACTLY where it is. Overtime you will be able to distinguish bottom structure, composition and depth. Some crankbait aficionados claim they can feel the fish before they strike!

Very true.  You will also get better at math, adding up in your head how many casts you got out of that $14 LC lure, and how much it cost per cast after you snag and lose it.   :D  Just kidding.  Crankbaiting is my favorite type too, it feels more active, more thrilling.

I'm still waiting to feel the fish before it strikes though.

ya i know, i was mainly refering to that you can't literally see it physically while under the water

but ya i'm not the greatest yet, so i don't know EXACTLY where it is, but i still got that feel  :D

All time favorite is a walking style topwater (Spittin' Image, Super Spook, Sammy)

Most productive this year would have to be deep cranks.

If you would have asked me three years ago, it would have been a DS worm.

These days I'm almost always using soft plastic lures.  Senko style straight worms have produced more fish than anything else for me.

I'm also very fond of creature style baits and crawdad immitators.  The GYCB Flappin Hog got me two 5 pounders yesterday.  Zoom's brush hog is a favorite of mine as well.

so hard to choose...

The jig is hands down my go to confidence bait, and winching a fish out of some nasty cover with heavy braid is fun to me. Just pitching, then feeling a thump and drilling them.

Second:Buzzbait

I voted the Jig as my favorite because I catch alot of quality fish on it and its extremely versatile, but my favorite to work is a soft plastic frog, or a hollow frog thats definetly my favorite lure to "work". The blow up is just an amazing pay off, and I just love slowly crawling them along the thick weeds. A scumfrog popper is what caught my pb, (although I like the original scumfrog better).
