The lure you consider your best, most effective.

For me, it's the "BLADE". I love a spinnerbait and have caught a ton of big fish on one. I always start with one until they prove they won't eat it. Not too fond of fishing one deep. I love the savage strikes they often produce.What's yours?

Crank bait

Senko

Senko...carolina rigged.

Copycatting thread stealer...


Texas rig black worm

JB, are you competing with Teague for the VILLAGE IDIOT name/ You're getting pretty close. This is not the same as either thread. A goto bait is one you use when you need one more fish, not a big bag.

Here’s my top three. I don’t think I could choose just one. A spoon would be the one lure I would choose for most productive for nearly anything that swims however they are a situational lure. You really can’t fish them just anywhere. Second would be a medium to small size spinner bait of some sort. Third would be a crappie jig.

Keep on I'll be headed to Slidell I'll add I like buzzbait over weed bed at night for big fish then

most effective is a trick worm on a shakeyhead if we are talking strictly bass baits

2 inch swimbait on a 1/16th ounce jig head is about the fish catchingest bait there is

Starting to think that combo will CATCH anything. If I ever deer hunt again, I may try it there as well

Kinda like a 3-4”green pumpkin/motor oil curly tail grub. Pretty sure ive caught bluegills to walley with em.

Crank bait

Wacky Worm.

i think ive caught every freshwater fish in alabama on that combo

Beatle spin. I think I may be the only person that still regularly fish’s with them.

Spinnerbait

Jig

If the water is over 50 degrees, Spinnerbait and there's not even a close second. Both quantity and quality and I can cover a ton of water with it.

As crazy as it sounds, I've never caught a fish on a beetle spin. I'll buy them and they'll stay in the pack until I clean out my tackle box.

You have to take them out of the pack to catch fish. Err Body Know Dat.

Cricket or live worm...


But I want to hear what Birdcarver has to say!

Crankbait and soft plastics

I hear these are effective

40 g’s of lip ripping excitement right there.

The most effective lure that I have ever used, on the Coosa at least, is a Carolina Rig with a 4 inch worm. On the main river channel, it is a Pop-R fished in creek mouths, from day light to 9 P.M.

Can't pick just one: I've caught so many on these:

1) Texas Rig
2) Chatterbait
3) Buzz Frog

If I was limited to these 3 lures, I could catch fish anywhere and at any time of the year, especially on Guntersville.

Buzbait when daylight is crackin. Rapala Then a Rapala DT6-8 in parrot or shad / Yamamoto Kreture bait Texas rigged from daylight to dark.

add these and you got it

Use them all the time friend.
