Your 3 go to/favorite baits, and three you hate?

Is there any other species?

If you would fish it enough, you might just get that one big bite. I've thrown just about everything, and my two biggest smallies have come on finesse.
5.13
6.04
My biggest spotted came on a NED rig, on a Destroyer Hedgehog F4st-69RSDti, Certate 1003, 10lb braid, and 7lb fluoro leader. 8-)
Get your kids hooked on fishing, and they'll never have any money for drugs or alcohol.

Word guys. I could see that being a lot of fun just a takes different kind of patience. In my experience its rare that the biggest bite of the day comes on a senko, Ned or a Drop shot. I have a smallie lake were the drop shot is really good but it frustrates me cause I'd way rather have them hit a crankbait. I think where I fish bass fishing still isn't big enough that I NEED to finesse fish. Didn't mean any disrespect either I just usually have a spinning rod with a Ned rig, a senko and/or a little Texas rigged craw for my friends and they catch a lot of fish.
