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) 5/16 oz. Secret Weapon Spinnerbait, firetiger skirt with a chrome
Turtleback and gold Colorado blade

2) Zoom SuperFluke, pearl colored

3) Go-To Bait Co. 5" stick bait, dark watermelon with red and green flecks

4) 5/16 oz. Secret Weapon Buzzr Bait, Midnight Snack in color.

5) Driftwood Lure Co. Tube, pumpkinseed with bright orange tentacles.

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.
