I fish bass from a boat and from the shore. I am fishing for smallmouth and largemouth. And if any of them are excellent for crappies you could throw them in too. You can make one list with 5 lures or three lists for each species. Thanks.
What are your top 5 favorite lures for fishing Bass?

A excellent lure I use for Australian bass which are smaller than the Largemouth bass you guys have in America but just as exciting and aggressive, is the Crown Seal Lure. Visit http://www.crownseallures.com. We’ve just opened up the website store so keen for feedback about the lure and the site.
Lucky fishing!

My all time favorite is a timber tiger. they are hard to find but still out there. Fantastic for fishing structure and very versatile. Next would be a spinner. I prefer brass blades and the skirt color always depends on environmental factors. Third….a hula pop. Especially at night. Fourth is a jig. Again color has may variables. Last is a stick bait or a bandit. Excellent luck!!
My top five bass baits consist of:
1. 6″ or 8″ Zoom plastic lizard pumpkin seed
2. Booyah 1/4 oz. spinnerbait (chartuse/ white)
3. Bill Dance Stout Free Shad color patterns vary
4. Strike King jigs
5. Spro bronze eye frogs, Rebel pop r, buzz baits
My general rule is to go from quick, horizontal baits to slow vertical baits.
For lmb, i like a spinnerbait, boy howdy, spook jr, senko, carolina rig.
For SMB, I like zoom fluke, tube, senko, carolina, topwater.
Excellent Luck, Ranger Pete
