i can't believe no lizard guys on here. i like cabin creek 6" lizards in green pumpkin/copper.

I'll just waiting for someone to bring up the old lizard, I like worms and others but that old green lizard is it for me. I use 4" and 6" but the zoom 8" watermelon with some red spots is my go too. Hank Parker hooked me up a few years ago, he looked out of that TV and told me a friend he was fishing with burned him up with a lizard when he was using a worm. So I said I'll try them out and still fishing them today.

The Ole lizard! Classic. Do you all think the baby brush hogs are just as effective as the lizard? They look very similar in the water. Maybe that's why they are so good.

I'm starting to notice something here. Everyone's "Go-To" bait is different. So I'm asking myself, does it really matter to the fish what size shape or color it is? Sounds like if you put it in front of their face their going to eat it. I realize some of these baits are better in certain times of the year but I think we as anglers put to much emphasis on what size to throw what color is the best etc. etc. I think it boils down to what you have confidence in.

However, to answer your question my go to plastic is a baby brush hog, green pumpkin w/blue flake.

I think you are right. It seems that we put more importance on what bait we are using the bass do. It boils down to using the correct type of bait for the given time/situation. Many times, no matter what you have tied on, that bass was going to hit it when it landed on top of him. Other times, you have to immitate the bass's forage that they are keyed into at that time. I have had many trips were a certain lure was the ticket and nothing else worked. They fish were definitely keyed in on a specific forage. I've had trips were it seemed like you could take your shoe-lace off and put a hook on it and catch fish. Just depends.
