What is your favorite bait?

[Ky Deer Slayer]

Just wondering on what is your all time favorite bait since I know people will have many different answers.

For starters mine is a texas rigged june bug Brush Hog. Always have had success with it and it even won the last tournament I fished with my dad when it landed me a 5 lbs 3oz largemouth on McNabb there in Barkley.

I love the tequila sunrise berkley powerbait it's my favorite soft bait. I love the original Rapala for ponds. The absolute best bait I have ever used is a bluegill hooked through the tail. When you hold the rod up and make them stay on top of the water it really tears 'em up. It works great when the bass are on the banks.

[BunnyBuster]

My favorite bait to fish is a Pop-R, hands down!!

As for consistantly bass, a Zoom grub or Super Fluke.

Blue Fleck Powerworm

Norman deep baby crankbait, caught more 5+pound fish off of it than anything else, in fact ist the only thing ive caught anyhting 5+ pounds off of. Really like it, already caught fish on it this year =] firetiger is the color

[chadwimc]

Whatever your favorite is, go the next size bigger...:D

Ten pound bass with one pound crappie. BassPro's fish tank in Cincinnati.

[RutNBuck]

if i had to choose one bait i would go with a slugo
second choice would be a zorro puppy

[rme hunter]

Gary Yamamoto Senkko worm in black and blue fleck if I am fishing soft plastic. If not I would fish a heddon Sonic (white, red, with black lightning bolt) the old style with the screw in hooks.

I want to change mine favorite. Now it is crappie:D :D

[killer]

black 1/2 oz. jig with a black trailor if I can only pic one. I also like black jig with blue trailor, green pumpkin or watermelon with greenish trailor, and peanutbutter and jelly with brownish trailor. Basically any jig and pig.

[HappyHunter]

Buzzbait during early June...love it when they blow up on one at the boat!!

[notimlmit]

Mine would have to be nothing more than a 1/8 ounce jig and a 3" twistertail. This bait is so versital that just about anything that swims will eat it any time of the year and even BIG BASS.

[naturalelite]

split shot sinker, live bait hook of your choice, and live shad. Even I can look like a pro with this set up. Flip the chunk rock banks, and any points.. If you want to talk about artificial I have to go with a spinner bait.Buzz it across the surface, slow roll it , bounce it off the bottem, the sky is the limit. Plus I caught my biggest KY bass off a double willow leaf spinner bait 7lb 2 oz on cumberland on april 1st.

[piebald buster]

For Bass, I love top water using a bull frog pattern Tiny Torpedo, Has been very productive for me. For crappie, I use a 1/16 oz. white road runner with a Junebug/Chartruese tail jiffy jig.

[dipits]

pop eye made by Jerry Mays from Salyersville fished with 4 lb. line
best blugille is 1 lb. 5 oz.
best bass is 6lb. 12 oz.
best chanel cat 5 lb. 4 oz.
best red eye 1lb. 2 oz.

[KY OUTLAW]

I realy like a black and crome rat L trap or rapalas x rap but my favorite would have to be a buzz bait

[Advantage]

Hands Down, a jig. 3/4 to 1/2 ounce if fishing ledges on KY or 3/8 to 1/4 if fishing some of the smaller lakes in KY. Black & Blue or green pumpkin with matching trailers. A great big bass bait!!!!

[Auk1124]

I'm old school. A big fat nightcrawler. Or if I feel fancy a purple artificial worm, texas rigged. I don't catch many fish but I get plenty of naps and the bait is cheap. :D

[kyhunter110]

Hands down.... a buzz bait. Theres nothing like that first topwater hit in the morning:D

[gobbl4me]

Zoom trick worm in either black or green pumpkin seed or a beetle spin in bullfrog color.

[killinmammals]

I would have to say....grape or red shad culprit 7.5 inch worm, rigged weightless. It's always my go-to when they won't bite anything else.

[buckdroppings]

Deep Baby N Bill Norman crank in a Fire Fire Tiger

[glshubert]

Minners. I didn' know there was an other......?

[Scotty]

Ivory Soap.....Catfish love it on a trot line

[ceg4uk]

Dynomite.:eek:
Not really -- I agree with the buzz bait comment. Looks like an explosion when the bass hit. Kinda' hard not to get nervous and jerk too soon.

[OUTBACK]

I love my buzzbaits when the weather is right but my favorite for this year so far is Strike Kings Bleeding Tubes. Green Pumpkin seed. I've gone through 4 packages in 2 weeks and have caught some dandies off of KY.
Love a chug bug too. . . just got to know how to use it.

[UKDucks]

On Barkley it's tought to beat a 1/2 oz. carolina rig with a zoom junebug monster worm. Also good with the mann's hardnose lizards in green pumpkin. The rapala DT series are amazing for covering water.

[c100max]

A magnum bulldawg, top raider, hawgteaser, and a grim reaper spinnerbait!!

[ptbrauch]

Roostertails!!!

[6.5x55swedish]

7" Berkly Power Worm (June Bug Texas rigged)
