But WHAT KIND Do you use and WHY - What do you reccomend ...

You should at least have:

600+ crankbaits

100+ spinnerbaits

200+ jigs

50+ swimbaits

80+ pounds of soft plastics.

That 's a nice starter kit.

Why ? cuz it 's better having and not needing than needing and not having.

[Btech]

Agreed Raul now.... List those 600 Crankbaits 100 Spinnerbaits etc... and we are in business

Im intersted in knowing what everyone Recomends specificly not just " Jigs Spinnerbaits and crankbaits " What Brand / Type of jig spinnerbaits etc.

[Siebert Outdoors]

Here is a list of what I use from most used to least.

jigs,  mine

Trailers,  mine or Joes

Plastics,  mostly mine or zoom ol monster, BPS magnum tube

Crankbaits,  Big M, Bandit, norman

Jerkbait,  Mostly xrap

Spinnerbait,  mine

See the patterns yet? I was thinking earlier today after reading some of these Christmas lure topics.  I havent bought a lure in atleast 8 months.

I specified brand names for all my suggestions.

[Raul]

What I recommend would be ( and you 're not going to believe it but senkos are not in the liest ):

Culprit 7.5 ribbon tail worm, we us southern boys have been catching bass on them for decades. Color ? choose the color you like.

Mann 's 6" Jelly Worm or Zoom Trickworm, same case as the previous, those have worked for me for ages.

Jigs, I don 't care about which brand as long as it has a good quality razor sharp hook, I fish with BPS jigs cuz the hook is good and taking in consideration that very seldomly any jig I pull out of the tackle box returns to it I prefer the cheap ones.

No TBox should be without the Rapala Shad Rap ( you choose size, style and color ), I 've caught more fish on them than with any other crankbait I 've owned or own.

No Tbox should be without Rat-LTraps, change the hooks for good ones.

No Tbox should be without a Jitterbug

Spinnerbaits, choose whatever you want as long as the hook is sharp and strong, and as long as it has a good quality swivel, I still fish with some of my 10+ years old Strike Kings.

[Muddy]

Lucky Strike Perfection and Finesse Heads

[Marty]

But WHAT KIND Do you use and WHY - What do you reccomend ...

I'm closer to Raul's opinion than others. I think way too much emphasis is being placed on brands and colors. If I'm fortunate enough to locate some fish, I'm happy, because bass that are willing to hit something will generally be willing to hit numerous different lures.

[Btech]

You may be right marty but i created this in intrest to see what people prefer and give them a chance to name their top lures (Rather than what kind - that would make a good pole maybe) but the brand and color was more to see where they were from and what works for them in that area. Just thought it would be intersting.

[grimlin]

This is what is Must have for my water....

#1.Berkley powertube 3" in smoke color(this is my magic bait)

#2.White or white/chart. 1/4 H&H spinnerbait

#3.silver inline spinners 1/3 oz with a hint of green on body

#4.Brown G-man's football jig with a green pumpkin or brown trailer(i use joe s. trailers)

#5.white grubs single tail.As long as that tail has action it doesn't matter on the brand.I'm like raul I use 1/8 oz jig whatever brand with a sharp enough 1/0 hook.I lose to many jigs to keep expensive ones around.

Those baits have worked the past 2 years

[Danny1991]

My top 3 lures are:

Zoom Trick worm (Grn pumpkin w/ Grn Flake when sunny and Black when cloudy or at night)

Bomber Fat Free Shad (Chartreuse/Blue or any natural looking shad pattern)

Strike King Pro Model Jig (mostly black and blue)

[BARON49_Northern NY]

Not sure if anyone mentioned frogs.  Got to have some Horny toads and Ribbits for buzz frogs and a Snagproof Tournament Floating frog.  Black and white colors will cover most situations.

[TournyFish001]

RI Beavers in all sizes, Senko's 5"ers, norman crankbaits mini's up to the DD22's, LC jerkbaits and topwaters, SOB spinnerbaits, jackall fick shake worms for ds or shakey head- I could go on and on, but thinking about it I feel like I could catch a basss anywhere with these baits- I cant say that about many baits that are out there.
