I use all types of lures - i've caught fish with everyone of them this year, but the one that's hauling them in at a steady rate - the mini strike king spinner baits ( chartreuse -blue and yellow- yellow ). They don't seem to like the white or the red spinners.
When nothing else is working, no matter what time of day, when i cast one of those out, i usually get a strike and a hook up! A few pikerel have been hooked, but the L.M. Bass have been killing these spinners all year

This is a tough one. Because I have 2 go to's when all else has failed. Either the Kyoban Spinnerbait or the Kyoban Buzzbaits.
Both are made by Crooked Mouth Tackle Co. and have great action. They also have a jointed hook system which keeps the fish hooked no matter the cover I have to pull them through or how much they jump. And it also has the head weight that slides when casting, that allows me to cast farther, thus keeping the bait in the water and strike zone longer.

Still catching alot of bass on the blue/yellow spinner, and lately, i am happy to report.....they are killing the old reliable JITTERBUG. Had a smaller one that was greenish with black dots and just lost a bigger one today. It was black with yellow eyes. Jeremy had a BIG fish online and the swivel broke. Lost the fish and the lure....we'll be back to get him soon! Have to replace both of these this week.
Been getting tons of attacks on a Heddon Torpedo ( brown crawdad color ) I've had at least 7 big bass come out of the water about an inch trying to get this thing - i had to use the rear hooks from the jitterbug and put them on the torpedo. The fish kept hitting the propeller blades and missing the hooks - not enough space. The new hooks are lower and thus - i've caught 2 pikerels and 2 nice bass since the switch!
