What is your most Fun fishing lure?

Serously, the one the fish are biting right now.

For fun a Hula Popper and Frog. Even if the fish are not biting, the lure
is a fun one to work. Plus they catch fish.

For me, just about any floating lure will do it, minnow style, poppers,
plastic frogs, etc. What a way to get a big goofy grin on my face :-)

Everybody who knows me at all knows that I am an absolute lover of
spinnerbaits. Spinnerbaits are fun and easy to fish, I seldom get hung
with
them, and I regularly catch good numbers of my biggest bass with them.

I also love fishing soft plastics, because they usually provide me with
the
most fish wherever I go.

But for pure, unadulterated fun, when conditions are right (morning or
evening, flat water) and the fish are cooperating, nothing produces more
shouts and grins from me than using light spinning tackle to twitch a #7
silver/black Rapala floating minnow next to a weedline, stump, stickup, or
other type of cover. A strike on almost every cast is not unusual, and you
are likely to catch many different species of fish if they are available.

I call it a normal "days" fishing!

It was plainly the longest day on the water, ever.

Missouri. The water was perfect and the fish acted like they were

cast, even before getting in the boat. We had to stop fishing a few
times
to
give his 80 yr. old arms a rest after hooking and fighting so many
mean
and

bass
and a 9 lb. channel cat, among other things. That night he giggled
and
grinned all the way back to St. Louis, and I swear that when they
buried
him
2 years later, the smile was still on his face. Not meaning to be
morbid,
I
made sure that he had all of his favorite lures with him (especially
those
Rapala floaters) when he went into the ground.

My favorite fun fishing bait has got to be the smaller worms. I absolutely
love that bite and this is the season for it...

If I have a favorite lure, it would be the first artificial I ever used. It
was a Swiss Swing gold spinner my grandfather made. I used to catch bucket
loads of perch and small pickerel up at Rickets Glen with those old brass
spinners. I still have a few, but I don't fish with them anymore. Too many
memories in those old lures to risk loosing them.

but for me it's soft plastics. Lift it,
drop it, crawl it, whatever, watch your line like a hawk. You see it moving
off to the side, you reel down, wondering if you'll feel resistance on the
hookset. Set the hook, your rod bends, and the fight is on.

I agree on the soft plastics. My favorite is the Kalin`s 5" smoke and pepper
grub.
It catches bass on every lake I have tried.
Also seems to catch the bigger fish.

You fished Killarney and didn't call me???? The one northwest of Tomahawk? If that's the case, I
have only one thing to say... You BUM!!! That's one of my favorite "not guiding" lakes.
