Favorite Bass Lures?

Just thought that beared repeating.

I think I have heard BIG BAIT = BIG FISH a few times in my life.. Heck I think I still have a 14'' castaic trout and 12 inch AC plug laying around someplace.

Sencos, lizards, tubes. I like rigging these on a dropshot, heavy weight and short leader. Shake the heck out of the bait without moving it out of the strike zone, it gets them all fired up!

I've said this before (probably plenty of times) but I'll say it again...There is almost always an optimum size in any type of lure. Go too big and you may catch the occasional big fish, and even the occasional smaller one, but you won't catch a lot of fish. Go too small and you'll be kept real busy unhooking little ones and sunfish but the big ones will come few and far between, or else you won't get the attention of anything over 8 inches. But there will be that optimum size that will catch lots of fish and big ones along with them.

The thing is, "optimum" can be different under different conditions. I've seen lots of times in larger rivers with some color when if you went too small, you caught very little. But that same size might be just the ticket on a smaller, very clear creek.

I think Al is right on, in the winter the big fish will hit the smaller jigs and not the bigger ones. In the warmer months a big spinnerbait will catch the bigger fish if conditions are right. I think a couple of weeks ago Al commented that a bass will hit a big minnow but shy away from big craws.

I'd say my favorite is the Senko. Catches bass time in and time out. For excitement, anything topwater to get them exploding out of the water or chasing the lure is the most fun.
