Confident Bass Lure

[beerdruid]

What's your go to bass lure? For me its always been a spinner bait color matched to whatever I was fishing.

[OneDayScratch]

Several.
mini chrome and blue RatLtrap, Texas rigged worm, and an old black n yellow h&h spinner.

Can't say which caught more fish...all were good.

[Ditto]

Rat L Trap was always my go to. Chrome and blue on Conroe and chrome and green for Livingston. I'd hit an area with the Rat L Trap first, follow it with a crank bait the slow it down with a worm. If I was fishing a shallow flat then I would start with a spinnerbait.

Probably more tournaments won on Toledo Bend with red rattle traps than any other lure.

Best farm pond spinner bait ever made.

white/yellow black dot shyster in-line spinner...
my Dad caught so many bass on tanks he helped build in LaSalle Co ,.. that Mom re-painted some of them
5 or 6 yrs after they filled, the bass were thick and hungry...
Daddys go-to was a zebco 33 ( the good ones not the cheapie, ) 6ft fibreglas rod and a 1/4oz shyster
those tanks were full of 2-3lbrs
no boats needed..
some good fish-frys
Luhr-Jensen Shyster 1/4oz Inline Spinner White/Black Dot (midwayusa.com)

one other thing,,,, some of yasll may remember the mail-order fishing lures from magazines...
6 or 7 lures for a dollar...
they let me order a set...
one lure stood out... it was a red/white popper...
but different... red body and white head...
maybe 3in 1/4-3/8oz...plastic, and it ended up scratched alot from surface strikes...
it's lost to time, and I have never seen that pattern again...

Texas rigged salamander or worm. Will out do any spinning type lure.

[Rainbowrunner]

We didn’t say “out do”, it was said favorite.

[Buckweet]

Fixed it for you.
Texas rigged worm: go to, favorite, most confidence……….

[Rainbowrunner]

There is no denying that the 6” crème scoundrel Texas rigged in purple or red is probably the deadliest bass baits ever invented.
Caught a few flounder on them as well.

My favorite was always a spinner bait. My best fishing buddy always used a plastic worm. I never had the patience.

That H&H spinner bait picture made me smile - I bought a ton of them over the years from Gibson's when they'd run them for 4/$1.00 (yup, I'm old). Great lures, but the skirts always got stuck to everything plastic.

Craw colored square bill crank or top water frog in true frog pattern color. Solid black Zara spook is a close one too.

LOL yep 1 blade H&H white spinner with a grape fire tail Mr Twister teaser, top tray of your handy dandy green metal tackle box...... note to self, Don't do that again!

Black Fury Mepps spinner, White Stump Jumper and of course a Hula Popper are my favorite to use. I don't have a all time favorite, I enjoy the classic wood lures but would rather display them than use them.

[SGrem]

Banjo minnow. Helicopter lure. Absolutely anything. I will throw anything and with every cast I want to take the hooks off and eat it myself.

Zoom trick worm rigged weightless or very lightly weighted hook.

Baby brush hog Texas rigged.

Baby bass crankbait of different depths.

White buzz bait in the lily pads. 80 pound braid cuz youre coming out of there ....

[Unknownstrohsfan]

Pumkin seed worm, Texas, wacky, or weightless rigged.

This morning it was the orange crank bait in my avatar. I like stupid fish.
