Just for the fun of it, list your top 5 bass lurs that you can't live
without. Try to be specific (brand, size, color, how you rig/fish it).

In no specific order, my favorite 5 lures are....

Secret Weapon Spinnerbait - 1/2 oz. Firetiger with a small silver Colorado
and a gold Oklahoma blade. Typically fished in/around heavy cover and
in/through weed growth. I like to start the retrieve immediately upon
splashdown and work it right under the surface, over the tops of the weeds,
letting it helicopter into holes.

Soft plastic jerkbait - FinS or Zoom, in baby bass, white, shad, watermelon,
with a 5/0 Gamakatsu EWG hook. Texas rigged, I like to skip these under
boat docks and overhanging tree limbs. Twitch, pause, twitch twitch,
pause.....

Cool Lures Ice Pick - Texas rigged, another excellent boat dock lure. This
one I skip under and simply let fall.

Berkely Power Tubes - 4" Rigged on a standard ball head jig, push the jig
in the back, up to the nose, push the line tie through and tie on.
Pumpkinseed, watermelon or black. Most hits come on the fall, but I've had
good results simply dragging them on the bottom, without additional action
imparted.

Rapala Suspending Husky Jerk - 6" model in clown color. Fished erratically
with a jerk and a pause type retrieve.
