What is Your Top Five Favorite Lures - Why
 
Here are mine.

1. Rooster Tail 1/6 oz in powder blue w/ silver blade. 1/16th oz for trout.
I caught my first bass ever on an inline spinner in moving water.

2. Zoom U-Tail worm in watermelon seed rigged on a 2/0 worm hook behind a
1/16 to 1/8 oz bullet weight. Can also be drop shotted very well. This is
the first bait I ever felt like I mastered or atleast caught fish because of
my abilities rather than just blind luck.

3. Storm Thin Fin Silver Shad in Chrome and black or gold chrome. (no longer
made) I caught my first fish over ten pounds (a 12 lb striper) on this
bait, but also it consistantly would produce decent bass slow cranked on
days when nothing else seemed to work.

4. Popper... Almost any color. Small or medium size. Popper. Yeah baby! Did
you see that one blow up on it!?

5. Little bent metal fish shaped spoon. This is the second bait I felt like
I mastered or atleast caught fish because of my abilities rather than just
blind luck. I had two or three patterns with this bait.

I would like to note that my largest numbers of bass and my largest bass
were not caught on any of my favortie baits listed above. Largest numbers
were easily caught on live threadfin shad freshly netted.

Largest were all caught on plastics, but not the one listed above.

1. 1/16 th once white jig head with a blue and pearl solid body
'stinger' jig skirt.
Why. Spawning white pearch of the 2 lb and up variety love it.

2. Cotton Cordell crazy shad topwater bait with a 2ft peice of
monofilament tied to the rear hook mount with a small home made buck
tail.
Why? When the largemouth are chasing shad, you can catch them two
at the time.

3. Mann's motor oil 8" paddle tail worm.
Why? Catches the most large bass.

4. Berkly Nibletts - white.
Why? I can catch the huge bream without fooling with crickets or
worms.
(I feed them at my peir with floating catfish food using a Stren
auto feeder)

5. Netbait Paca Craw - Alabama Craw. I have a feeling this will be
number one soon.
Great all purpose bait. Can be fished as a buzz bait , tube, and
texas or carolina rigged

No special order on my top 5 as anyone of them can be number 1 on any given
day



1) Bleeding Junebug 5 inch stickbait(My own)
(what's not to like, it's a stickbait and no one else has this color,
show the fish something different has produced a ton of fish this year in
the 3-5 lb range


2) Zoom Speedworm
Any color, use it as a buzzbait or deadstick it. It produces over and
over again

3)SW Spinnerbaits
Any color, it doesn't matter, when you have the ability to customize a
Lure in seconds to meet your conditions, it's a must have in my box

4)White Grub on a 1/4 oz jighead
When the fishing gets tough it's hard not to catch fish on a white grub,
sometimes simple is the answer. White grubs are my simple bait

5) Flukes, My own hand poured or zoom super flukes, The key with either is
the hooks I've been using. Renegade weighted 4/0 hooks. These are neat,
light enough to keep the fluke on top of the water and just enough weight to
have it fall down imitating a dying baitfish. Dye the silver weight red to
match the hook. Awesome.

I guess the "why" for all of them is because they catch fish and I have
confidence in them.

In no particular order:

Crankbaits (Shad Rap if you need specifics)
Senko/Z-Nail
Jitterbug
Buzzbait
Stanley Ribbit
Chatterbait/Booyah Boogee Bait (whoops, that's six. Sorry).
