Your Favorite Bronzeback Lure?

[Steve_in_Maine]

Tube bait with a 3/8 oz internal jig head with rattle on 8# flurocarbon line...........looks like a crawfish which is a smallies favorite food.

Works like a charm.

LC Flash Minnow is my favorite, but if I could only use one lure/bait, it would be a Trick Stick/Senko type lure.

[dolomieu]

A tube or shakey head craw has definitely been the most productive for me, however, topwater is where it's at when the bite's on.

Been flyfishing for a lot of years. Deerhair on top and rabbit on the bottom works for me. Got into baitcasting last summer and a Sinking Salty Shad was dynamite all through the season.

1/4 oz Punisher 11 hair jig with black and Blue.

I like 5 and 1/2 inch Soft Plastic Swimbaits rig with a 6/0 1/4oz belly weighted Swim bait hook shanked hook not screw kind.

Once a year, I fish Squam Lake in New Hampshire for small mouths...I use a 4" cut tail worm, green pumpkin...This works great to the tune of 75 fish / day in the boat with 1 partner.

wheres the love for the spoon?!?!

My favourite way to catch SMBass is with a crank or jerkbait, but I probably catch more Smallies while Wacky rigging a Senko type worm.  Where I live Large and Small Mouth inhabit the same lakes.  The inside edge of a weed bed or any dock might produce either species.

Finesse jig

I had to answer plastic...my tubes are the go-to but not my favourite. Fav has to be the pop-r. Love the topwater excitement. Also can't beat the instant stoppage of a big smallie hit on a spinnerbait!

Lund Explorer...I can't believe how close our lists are. You must fish St.Clair! In fall, pop-r, x-rap, dbl willow spinnerbait, reg tube, weightless heavy salt tube, senko and, definitely the gold 3/4 hopkins...not in that order...and I use it all year.

It used to always be jerkbaits, but in the last couple seasons, I've caught ALOT more on double willowleaf spinnerbaits, and lipless crankbaits.

2010 will be a little different, because I'm going to force myself to use tubes each trip, until they finally start producing for me.

I voted soft plastics creature bait is definately no.1 minnow type bait a close 2nd.Although I found a new/old topwater bait late this year that outdid evrything else.

[A-Rob]

I said soft plastic b/c I think I can fish a tube anywhere anytime and catch 'em. But man is it ever fun chucking a spinnerbait at high speed and having a nice smallie smash it, a close 2nd.

I was surprised to see spinnerbaitin' so low on the poll, you can do some awesome damage with it.

Topwater, Lunker Punker by http://blackdogbaits.com/

[xxmurrxx]

Cranks and Jerkbaits are my fav.

Plastics boated me more but I find the cranks more fun to fish.

[heathen]

I voted cranks/jerkbaits. It was a hard choice over soft plastics as I always have a Jerkbait and a Tube tied on.

[Triton21]

The Original Marabou Spinn in cold water.  These were orignated and sold by me(Top Shelf Lures) and endorsed by Billy Westmoreland also featured in Feb. 1990 Bassmaster.  I still have the mold.

Tube and Topwater in warm water.

Nice poll.  Soft plastics all the way.  Can you say "Watermelon Candy" Zoom U-Tail worm?

[NorcalBassin]

I've had the most success with grubs... specifically 4" Yamamotos.

[RiverFisher13]

If things are ruff and i can't pull them to the surface ill put on the ole faithful (2 3/4" tube with 16th ounce bullet) and destroy them.
