What lures would you buy for bass fishing?

I already have a lot of lures, but if you had to buy 50 dollars of lures strictly for largemouth bass fishing, what would you buy?! Oh and it has to be from Tackle Warehouse.

1. Hmm... to be honest, $50 isn't gonna buy SH*T from anywhere, not just http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/ but I suppose, I could get fifty bucks worth of soft plastics. Or a couple 8 inch Huddleston swimbaits.

Then again, I could also check out the Sale Items, first...

2. I'd use any knd of LIVE bait. Talapias are known to work. Use the money for beer and snacks.

3. Well, this question depends on what YOU usually use to produce strikes.

Personally, I'd purchase:

1. Strike King, Coffee Tubes 4.5- (I Texas-rig these with a 4/0-5/0 Gamakatsu Skip-gap hook- no weight.) This is one of my fav lures to use for skipping under docks and for general dock fishing.

2. Netbait, B- Bug- One of the best Beaver-style soft plastic you can buy. Their colors are excellent. Hint- Magic Craw.

3. Norman, Fat Boy- Great lure! Fish it with a 2-3FT leader of 15LB Fluro. Excellent!

4. Manns, Baby 1-

5. All Terrain, Skip Jig- All Terrain makes some fantastic jigs that DON'T get fouled in weeds.

6. Damiki, Hydra Evolution- Just plain deadly on lethargic Largeys and Smallmouth bass.

7. Gambler, Ugly Otter- This is probably THE best Jig trailer on the market.

8. Berkley, 10" Worm- An amazingly versatile worm- either weighted, non-weighted, cut down to 8", rigged backward for flippin, Etc. This is my "go-to" lure of choice for Big Bass.

9. Gambler, Loco-lizard- Excellent site-fishing lure. Puts out a TON of vibration.

10. Spro, Frogs - Black and Leopard.

The person who excels at bass fishing is the one that fishes "similar but different" lures. Think about that when your choosing lures.

4. spinnerbaits are now my top choice. i catch fish with them in all situations. get a couple 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2oz models in a variety of colors. 3/8oz tandem blades tend to be my favorite, chartreuse 'n white for the color.

senko's and other soft plastics are still key. a variety of these as well. get $20 worth of spinnerbaits (should get you at least 4 or 5) and $30 worth of soft plastics. senko's, lizards, straight tail worms, curl-tails, etc.
