What kind of lure do you prefer for Bass Fishing?

Topwater?
Shallow or Deep Divers?
Hardbaits?
Softbaits?
Weedless?

I'm looking to create an ultimate bass fishing lure, so I'm looking into the most used lure types to create one to those characteristics listed above.

Thanks!

1. My favorite bait for anytime of the year, conditions is an 3" tube bait. Its my go to bait if nothings working

2. During the winter months I like to use a medium diving Crank Bait, 10-15 ft.

3. I like spinnerbaits and crankbaits.

By the way, medium running crankbaits are in the 6-8 or 10 foot range, not 10-15...those would be deep running.

4. Soft plastics or a jig and pig (or craw worm trailer), spinnerbait, topwater. If you could come up with a no-compromise bait with all the best qualities of each of these in one "ultimate bass fishing lure" you would have achieved the unachievable. I will purchase a dozen of each color, size, etc...

Good luck with that!

5. my favorites, are
top water ( including popping bugs, on a fly rod )
plastic lizzards &
jigs

6. I always fish soft baits, lizards and worms mainly. They are very versatile. I can fish them weedless, top water, shallow or deep.

7. White spinnerbait.
