That is very illegal and far from the best bait on the planet!

I think its time for there to be a sticky. There is no one best bait for LMB. There are WAY too many factors involved. Saying that, more bass are caught on soft plastics then anyhting else.

My all time favorite LMB lure is a jointed Rapala crankbait, Perch color.

Surface lures like Hula Poppers work great when the Bass are really biting, I think they are the most exciting way to catch fish.

Rapala X-rap.

Depending where u are from, the choice of color may vary. In my area the hot color that works for me is Rainbow Trout.

i use spinners (all colors, most mine have willow blades) or soft plastics (senko is my fav) and then i rarely use crank bait.

I've always found that live minnows/shads made the best baits for the bass around here. It really depends where you are going fishing.

I love a big spinnerbait, plastic worm, or swim bait. Floating raps are great fun for surface strikes.

If it is early summer: moss-boss frog or mousie pattern.
If it is mid-late spring: wiggle wart, frog pattern, vibrant colors if water murky.

there are tons of variants. time of day, time of year, location. I'm guessing you are in the north cause the bass stay smaller?
I always use four lures to find out what they are biting: purple or red shad plastic worm (carolina rig), spinner (bright colors), or a jointed repala. hope you have some good luck.
also, look around the water you're fishing and see what is likely to be food to them.
