BASS fisherman Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I am certainly not meaning to start a brand war here, just wondering what has caught you the most fish? If you choose "other", please explain. Quote
Super User Tin Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 About a 3' pointer has landed me the most fish, some big ones over 4 pounds too. But the 78dd is a close second. Quote
Infidel. Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 About a 3' pointer WOW That's a huge pointer dude. You must have some beasts swiming in your waters ;D ;D Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 This is my favorite lure class. I have a large collection of Rogues, X-Raps, Husky Jerks, Pointers and Stacey. The Lucky Craft Pointers are VERY well made and my most productive jerkbaits. The Rapala X-Rap is also VERY well made. The Blue & Silver Husky Jerk is a "must have". For years I have fished Smithwick Rogues. They are a POS, but when they work right, are VERY productive. (If you buy Rogues, test them and take the ones that are defective or BECOME defective back for exchange). 8-) Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 Rapala Original Minnow size 11. Quote
The_Natural Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I selected the Pointer, but the X-rap has produced just as well for me to be honest. I generall throw the Slender Pointer, which has a similar action to the X-rap. If you own Pointers...you should add a few Slender Pointers to your arsenal. Especially if you fish waters with smallmouth present. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 I forgot all about the X-rap and the original floater. Whoops!! They are added now. I put up this poll because I have been building my jerkbait collection. Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 There are many jerkbaits from where to choose, still, the Original Rapala floating minnow is the one I 've caught the most fish with out of all the jerkbaits I own, not because it 's the best or greatest, it doesn 't even cast well, it 's just a matter of time, no "newer" bait can contest with a bait you 've been fishing with for more than three decades that still catches fish. BTW, I caught my first 10+ pounder with one. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 For me it's X-Raps and Husky jerks. Very productive lures. Falcon Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 Lucky Craft Pointer has to be my favorite. Quote
Jake. Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Lucky Craft Pointer has to be my favorite. x2 Quote

Super User Catt Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 Original RB1200 Smithwick Rattlin' Rogue, Gold/Black Back/Orange Belly Quote
norm2525 Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 If we are talking about the best made now, I would say Lucky crafts and Megabass. As far as catching more fish for me Im still partial to swithwick rogues. Also, I have caught more on a zoom super fluke than all the rest combined. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 While the best bait depends on the day here are my overall top 5: LC pointer 78sp, LC Slender pointer 97mr, Team Daiwa 1091, Smithwick Rogue, Xcalibur XS4 Honorable mention: LC pointer 65sp (works great but catches a lot of small fish), Evergreen M-1 inspire minnow (would make a top ten list), Rapala Husky Jerk (works great for me in non-moving water but not rivers), Megabass Vision 110 (all or nothing bait? either they are all over it or nothing) Allen Quote
brian_82 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Cultiva's and even some of the suspending bps jerks are working for me. I just cant get myself on the LC bandwagon. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 xrap for me, its about the only jerkbait i have ever used (i havent used jerkbaits much, but i want to use em more this year) and i caught quite a few fish off that xrap. its a good lure! Quote
skillet Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Would like to back RW up on this one. I voted Husky Jerk, don't think I've ever had a Rapala not run straight out of the box. If you get a Rogue that runs true it is GREAT (really like some of their colors too). I have picked one up because of the color (only had one) and it was a piece of crap ... As Ever, skillet Quote
