Your most productive bait this year?

[MissouriBassin]

What has been your most productive bait this year? For me I would have to say a white buzzbait. I just can't quit throwing it. I love a topwater bite and they've been hitting it all year for me.

A stick bait comes in second

AH! I never throw a white buzzbait. For me it's always black. My most productive bait this year would probably be a tie between: A Rat-L-Trap, A Mann's Baby 1-Minus, or a chart/white spinnerbait. Stickbaits are my second as well, followed by the black buzzbait (booyah buzz please).

My crappy season (3 years running) have been on stick baits. Not just mine, but Senkos, Tikis, netbait, wacky worm, venom. I think I am scarred from them. I am going back old school when I used to catch big fish on regular Berkley worms LOL!

Megabass Cyclones, and custom made senkos. Also had some good fish on the jig.

For me it has to be the PC Baits Coffee Worm for LM Bass followed by the Tube for Smallies.

I fished tubes this year for the first time for river Small Mouth and have been killing them.

Ive just started fishing again a few months back. I have had great luck on Flukes, and Senkos.

Zoom Speed Craws, I've caught my largest fish with them.....well I did catch a pretty big freshwater drum(buffalo, sheepshead) on a DT-6 Bluegill crank :lol: and an 18" channel cat on a size 14 nymph on a 3-weight! :shock:

Earlier in the spring and summer, a black Jitterbug was my go to bait (at night) and a horny toad or somethin like it has been one of my main baits.
