Crappie - Cubby lures Mini-mite.
Not sure why but when they don't want to. Bite, they slam these things.

Silver & black Rapala J-7 Bluegill to bass, bows & browns. Great lure and one I typically start a day on a river float with. When the chips are down, a bass will hit a plastic worm like a Senko or a lizard, or maybe a fluke, when they won't touch a hard bait. Problem with plastics is they are slower to fish and you can't cover water as fast, if you're bumping bottom. Not as much so with a fluke.

I don't think they even make them anymore but Creme or someone made a plastic crawfish imitation that sunk slowly and got hammered by everything. I got a couple left but i never use them because they remind me of my father in law. Rebel Wee Craw works great for bass and bluegill. Blakemohr roadrunner red with white curly tail or better yet turbo tail works wonders. Round blade for crappie and walleye, willow leaf for white bass.

I was kind of surprised to see the rapala J7, I've had good luck with shad rap rapala' a but not those.
Now I have to go look up Devils toothpick... Never heard of that one. I haven't used Panther Martins either... Rooster tails are what I've been using.

For Az bass Rapala X-rap #6 in silver. 85% of my fish are caught on this lure every season. Working a jerk bait will wear you out. I have a 6' super light rod with a small Pfluger Arbor reel and 6 lb fireline that minimizes the fatigue. http://www.rapala.com/rapala/lures/x-rap-series/x-rapandreg/X+Rap.html

I have a pretty good stash. I know this is the freshwater forum but I couldn't resist. I got all mine from some guy in NJ that literally had a pallet of them. USPS priority was my friend on that deal.

The jig is ubiquitous,universal,works shallow to deep on everything from salt water species (see above!) to finicky brown trout,and every fresh water species,every where.
It can be fished shallow or deep,so is not restricted as to depth and is deadly in both places;can be fished fast (to cover water) or slow. It imitates everything from tiny crustaceons to full sized baitfish; the style can be tailored to the species.
They are THE universal fish catching bait. The only thing that comes close is some type of spinnerbait of various styles.The right jig will catch fish world wide.
Turn me loose on ANY bass lake in the country with the right jig,and I will get bit.....even if I have never seen the place before.

You got that right! Mr Twister sassy shad has landed me many a trout. My old boss was a hardcore fly fisherman until he saw how effective jigs were, now he owns an impressive collection.

Panther Martins: if you can't catch fish on them, you need to stay home. That gets my vote. My "one size fits all" for trout fishing is a 5 to 5-1/2 foot spin rod, open faced reel loaded with 4 pound maxima, and a handful of 1/16th oz "classic gold" panther martins. If I can't catch trout on that, they can't be caught. Tom

Yep! And Ive found them as effective on bass and brim. I even waded out into the surf in P.C. Florida a long time ago and caught Spanish Mackerel and Sailers Choice on them.
