I think Tube jigs work best for me but others in my area may have success on something else.  I like to fish all kinds of plastics and lures.  I like to feel a fish on a tube jig though. 8)
A 17 yr. old that is addicted already.

Here Is My Arsenal For Bass, In Order or Most Effective To Least effective for my fishing:

Largemouth

1. Soft plastic jerks
2. Cranks
3. Poppers
4. Other Plastics
5. Spinnerbaits

Smallmouth

1. Cranks
2. In Line Spinners
3. Curly Tail Grubs
4. Soft Jerks
5. Topwaters

I use more lures than these, but these are the staples in my selection for bass.

I had to pick the Crankbait.  This bait is my ultimate go to bait for predator fish;  Pike, Walleye, and Bass.  These baits are just so efective,  I find myself going to these when all else fails,  that is a go to bait.

I agree on crankbaits for all around use. They are great for all predators. Bass, pike, walleye, trout, even have caught a few catfish on them. If plastics are not working the crank is my lure. Probably my favorites are lipless cranks or small deep divers.

I had to go with the plastic worms on this one. Nothing beats trolling thru the slop and pitching some red shads.  On the occasion I do go with live baits, then I usually use Leeches. They are much tougher then minnows and last thru a few hits

I always do great on senkos, flukes, and any soft plastic lure like this. This is if the water is clear however, and you know exactly where the bass are. They are not good search lures.
For search lures, I like small spinnerbaits and rattletraps.
During the evening, I love tying on a rapala skitterpop!

Tubes for me spinnerbait is next in line.
I fish for those "stupid fish" BASS. Largemouth Smallmouth Stripers, and even Rock bass.

i basically fished the 6 inch senkos all last year. caught a 5.8 pounder  a 3.1 pounder  10 to 15 2 pounders and many other bass.this was my first year of serious fishing. went out late april with some berkley worms caught some nice fish and was convinced that plastic worms work really well. i had alot of dry spells were i didnt catch nothing for 2 hours or so.this year i plan on doing alot of jig fishin.ill always have the plastic worm though its a fun lure to fish

caught my biggest smallie on a tube, 4lbs 12oz, but all my other smallies over the 4 mark have come on live crayfish.

lures for largemouth, all kinds, soft plastics are great producers but sometimes i want to see them blast topwater stuff

there is a great article in this months in-fisherman that covers the resurgence of plastics worms. It shows some of the new style and where and how they will be most successful.  Its a pretty good read if your a worm user.

I had to go with the jig-n-pig. I can use this set up year round and always catch bass. When I am fishing tourneys, I usually have 2 rods rigged with a jig, then a senko rigged on anther, spinnerbait is used for my search bait..
