I would have to go with soft plastics. Specifically Senko's. They just seem to be the most versatile. Texas-rigged plastic worms are a close second followed by Slug-go's.
Early in the year it was rattletraps
later in turned over to the baby slugos
then it went into chatterbaits
then to 3' dingers
then to 3/8 ounce spinnerbaits
then to buzzbaits
and now back to the chatterbait
throw is some sporadic jerkbait action and that covers most of the spectrum I guess. It hards to pick a favorite when at certain times of the year each is my favorite, because the fish seem to prefer them.
