   overall, year round, it’s the plastic worm, most often rigged texas style but there are lots of ways to use plastic worms and other soft plastics. probably more bass caught on them than all the other lures combined. for some reason, they don’t develop a “memory” of these things the way they do for hard baits. you can release one and turn around and catch it again 5 min. later.

   Unfortunately, there is no 1 lure that works for every situation.

   If I had to pick a single “type” of lure that works well:

   Soft Plastic lures- Any plastic lure such as plastic worms, crawdads, lizards, Swim baits, & Jerk Baits.

   Spinnerbaits, Jigs, Top-waters, Crankbaits, Etc can ALL be much better at certain times. The key to successful bass fishing is having a selection of different lures for every condition.

   If only 1 lure worked no one would need a tackle box!! (lol)

   Hope this helps? Good fishing!

   I like a Fred Abogast ” Jitter Bug” for top water especially in the evening and even in the dark. The splashing action really gets them riled up. Works best on a calm night. You will catch more fish on a small one. A bigger one won’t catch as many, but the ones you do catch will be nice sized.

   The more time you spend on the water the better your odds ( a quote by John Madden)

   The bait must be in the water to catch fish (yet another bit of wisdom from John Madden)

   Good luck and HAPPY fishing!

   J/K-swim baits, rapala’s, crawlers, scented plastics, craw dads, leeches, buzz baits and the best of all is weedless frogs!!

   If you are fishing slow, the best lure would be a tube jig. Just drag it along the bottom & the bass love them.

   If you are fishing fast, than you can’t beat a spinner bait.

   Good luck on the water!

   Just kicking in my 2 cents for what it’s worth. Feel you already got the best answer, I’d use a plastic worm if only had 1 bait to choose from.
   I’ve had success with a color ,tequila sunrise, but that’s just me and things will vary based on conditions and where you’re fishin.

    Mister Twister Grubs, Plastic Worms and Spinnerbaits are my favorites.
    Berkley, Mister Twister, Booyah, Terminator, Gary Yamamoto all make some of those.
    For spinnerbaits, i like a Colorado and Indiana blade, one blade being gold the other silver. My color of choice? White, with a mister twister trailing it (3 inch grub).
    For just plain Mister Twister Grubs, i like to use chartreuse or chartreuse flake color with a yellow 1/32 yellow jig head. The mister twister grub should be a 4 or 6 inch version.
    Plastic worms, i like many of them. Mister Twister also makes a good worm, so does Gary Yamamoto. Berkley Gulp! Nightcrawlers are one of my favorites though. Natural colored, this 6″ worm is pretty dandy.

    Hope i helped!

    Your “best” lure is dependent on the fishing conditions (time of year, temp, clarity etc….)

    The one lure that seems to work year long is the Senko…so now your next dilemma is what color, what size, what rig??? All those you are going to have to figure out through experimentation….

    Good luck!
