Most productive lure

[nomad]

Just curious as to what people consider their most consistently productive lure. In other words, your confidence lure, the one that will catch you bass again and again, when other lures won't? For me, that's easy; the Yamamoto Senko. To be more specific, I've caught more bass over here on Senkos than on any other lure. The colors/sizes that have never failed me are 5", in black or black with blue flakes, or 4", same 2 colors. And 99% of my fish have been caught with the Senko fished weightless and fished more like a jerkbait - I cast out, let it sink then give it a hard sideways jerk, reel up the slack, let it sink, jerk, reel, let it sink. Most of my hits have come right after the jerk when the Senko is about to sink. So, what's your most productive lure?

thats tough man because i love a jig but its hard to throw one here without losing the stinkin thing. but i gotta go with just about any sort of craw style creature bait.

My most productive bait has got to be a French fry style bait. Can't wait till the Havoc French fry bait comes out this fall.

If I had stats of the all my fish ever caught and what they were caught on It'd be a tie between cranks (Rapala DT Series and Jointed shadrap) and Spinnerbaits (Strike King and Booyah). Check out the jointed Rapala in my avatar lol( not a shadrap btw) Korea has made me finese fish so much which has only helped my game! I can't wait to beat up a lake when I go back on leave that I never finesse fished. Maybe I'll have a new productive bait at the end of the year lol. Another thing is your "productive" bait can be a crutch and hinder you from trying new maybe even more productive techniques. I know it is what kept me from learning the stuff I know now a lot sooner. This year alone I've added drop(down) shotting and jigg fishing to my arsenal. While not a master at any of my techniques I do like knowing enough about each to be "productive". (like how I ended it with productive? You can't teach that! Kinda like senko fishing)

Spinnerbaits.......enough said

comoda,

That's why, from time to time I'll go out and throw nothing but "other" lures, so that I can get more confident in them. That's how I went from being a non-jig fisherman to now, where I'll throw a jig any time possible. Same here for drop shotting, I never got into it before but this spring taught me just how productive it can be.

I HATE THE DROP SHOT.... but i geuss eventually ill have to do it...bahh humbug

also the plastic thing i had to go with because there are so many variations i can get a swimbait thats plastic or a big creature bait, or a worm, even topwater now. If i only had one bait to fish with for the rest of my life it would be a jig its far to versatile u can swim it bounce it, drag it put rattles on it and its like a shakeyhead. by far one of the best baits ever made but plastics are cheaper and there are more types thats why i chose them.... can i get a second vote?

for here in korea, its been the plastics by far.
