Green pumpkin senkos 5 of them

 

I assume were talking largemouth

 

Mostly, yes. Also wondering on what type of lures I could catch a multitude of species on.

 

Spinners, swims, and cranks seem to catch just about everything

 

Chatter bait, jerk bait, senko, big joshy swim bait, and a popper

 

Kvd square bills..tubes.

 

Vintage Rapalas with the bright white belly. It catches everything from Bluegills to Muskies. All species of fish love it. But make sure you get the older ones with the White belly. Can find on Ebay at times.
They come in all sizes. Good Luck.

For Largemouth....Black spinnerbait with Colorado blade in black or painted black.

Multi species...... Jigs W/ twister tails, big Joshy swimbaits, Tubes

Multi species......... Suspending stickbaits. Such as Rogue's, Rapala Xrap and husky jerks.

Multi species...... Spoons, blue fox and little Cleo.

 

Jig/pig
Shakey worm
Square bill crankbait
Double colorado spinnerbait
Buzzbait

 

Joshys are gonna be hard to beat for variety. Last fall while fishing for eyes I caught several large and smallmouth bass, white bass, crappie and of course saugeye.

 

Can always throw them on a road runner spinner jig and/or cut a hole and insert a small rattle to mix it up a bit too.

I'd say smoked shad joshy (slims bait close second), green pumpkin senko, mepps rooster tail in black and silver, suspending jerk bait (lucky craft is new favorite, in aurora black), and a rebel popper for my multi-species top 5. Just out of the top five would be a bleeding booyah (maybe ranked higher if just for largemouth).

 

Swimbaits are a great multi-species bait!!! Lipless crankbaits like rattle traps work good too!!!

 

Agree with great Miami.... Joshy swimbaits are tuff to beat.....

 

For riverine smallmouth, my favs would be 4" Yum Dingers (green pumpkin), 2.5" Cabin Creek tubes (dirty green pumpkin), Big Joshy's, Worden's Roostertails, and Heddon Torpedoes.

 

Smallmouth:
Buzzbait (evening/night fishing)
Fire tiger crankbait
White inline spinner

Worm/tube/joshy/fluke/rapala are second tier for me; got the joshys recently and want to try them more next year.

 

Smallmouth:
Buzzbait
Propbait
Ned Rig
Senko
Tube Bait

Largmouth:
Spinner Bait
Buzzbait
Frog
Senko
Ned Rig

 

Squarebilll Crank (kvd 1.5-2.5)
Big Joshy Swimbaits
Superspook Jr.
Mizmo bassteaser tubes in green pumpkin
Husky Jerk (size 12)

 

Oy Vey! Too many good lures to choose from.

In no particular order:
1. Some type of plastic worm for Texas/Carolina Rigs and Wacky Rigs. (Zoom Trick Worms and/or BPS Stick-Os)
2. Strike King Red Eye Shad (lipless crank)
3. Strike King Square Billed Crank
4. Double Bladed Safety Pin Spinnerbait (great for searching, and covering area and the entire water column very quickly. You can also put a trailer on it)
5. Pig and Jig (Bass Jig and trailer, can use a grub or craw or just about anything. Bitsy Flips are good, tons of other good ones out there too)

Best of the Rest:
Hollow or solid body frogs
Buzzbaits (I love these)
Jerkbaits (not just for saugthings)
Old School Rapala Floating Minnow
Rooster Tails
Pencil Topwaters (KVD Sexy Dawgs)
Prop Baits (topwater minnow with propeller spinners on front and/or rear)
Plastics Plastics Plastics (craws, grubs, swimbaits, the list goes on, multiple ways to rig them)
Old School Leadhead Jigs.... and the list goes on and on and on....

 

Smallmouth: 3" green pumpkin venom tube, 3.25" slush or bass candy big joshy, baby bass chuggin' spook

Saugeye: perfect 10 or super rogue. HJ14. Slims bait, lime, & sparkle chartreuse joshy.

Can't go wrong with a red eye shad for multi species

 

Haven't seen a Jitterbug yet .
Hildebrant Okacobee special spinnerbait .
Zoom finesse worm green pumkinseed.
#10 husky jerk gold

 

These are usally rigged up on the boat at moat times..
Rapala dt4..or dt6..in yellow perch color or bluegill.
Rapala Shad rap..yellow perch color
Senko worm..green pumpkin..weightless
Bass jig/trailer..usually in black-blue jig/zoom speed craw trailer.
White/chartreuse double willow spinnerbait.
Top water of some sort..frog or buzzbait.

 

LOL!

First I would like to thank everyone for the advice/suggestions. However, "top 5" turned into close to 30 different baits and lures. Figure fishing is like BBQ, everyone does it a little different because that's how it tastes the best to them, haha. I did tally everything though (not a math teacher by chance) and here are the tops in no particular order...

Square Bill Cranks
Swim Baits (Big Joshy overwhelming favorite)
Worms (Finesse, Senko, etc)
Tubes
Spinner /Buzz Baits

Honorable mention...Poppers, Frogs, Lipless Cranks

As I said, there were MANY others, and thanks again!

I'm originally from Lancaster, but live up in Canton area now. Any of you ever venture my way, don't be shy!

 

Looks like you narrowed it down.

Gotta throw these in though, had a lot of luck with both.

Rat-l-trap - any color
Chartreuse twister tail jigs

 

One of my favorites is a bladebait. It catches many different types of fish deep or shallow,

 

Ironically just looking at those. Getting a couple nice days next week and going to try some ponds. Much of my research shows blade baits for winter pond fishing. Thoughts? Suggestions on brands/colors?

 

Pulse blades made in Ohio Flat Line Lures and work really well do not seem to hang up as much on line when hopping them back or snapping them vertically. Staple colors chrome blue,chartreuse pearl called measles,gold orange,chartreuse orange. Will get fish with these colors . 3/16 and 1/4 pretty much sizes you need

 

I bought some online from custom jigs and spins in 1/4 oz. Gold is my best color. I think they are better than vibees

 

Thank you very much!
