"Most Productive Bait for Bass" Poll

[Epkomd]

but there is not one lure that will consistently catch fish everyday, so you need a good variety.

i think the chatter baits is the only bait to beat a spinnerbait in versatilty numbers of hits and size of fish atracted if you havnt fished them u are missing out red and white   or blue  all my big fish last year came on chatters

I fish mostly Rivers for smallies....cool water jerkbaits then transition to plastics, tubes mostly and sencos.

i do alot of tournaments in ny and definately have to go with a jig n pig for quality.....for quantity, its a toss up between a texas rigged worm (senko or curly tail) or wacky rigged senko and a spinnerbait

I chose plastic worm, just because they can be fished so many ways. I would think it would be between plastics and spinnerbaits.

Had to choose plastic worms but I'm partial to creature baits like the brush hog and Netbaits version of the brush hog.

Topwater lures are my favorite and, second is white spinner baits.There is nothing like the explosion of a bass or any other gamefish on a top water lure.You guys know what im talking about.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bring my tackle box with me.  I always end up using 5in Senkos texas rigged on a Skip Gap hook.  All but a handful of the bass I have caught over 5lbs have been on a Senko.

2X black w/ red or blue flake gets them every time.
I was camping at a rather large campground that had a fishing pond there were 20+ kids fishing with everything under the sun but could not catch a fish I walked back and grabbed 2 senkos and gave them to the two boys that were camping with us. They yanked bass after bass out of that pond while I walked with them all the other kids jumped in line asking for "one of them things" lol Every year I go back and I'm mobbed by kids asking me for worms and to take them fishing. The 2 boys now call me uncle Jess and one little boy I did not know asked if I would be his Daddy All hail the Senko

Topwater but only because I use it so heavily. Just don't have the patience for soft plastics.
