I'm sure you're aware that the type of day (rainy, clear, cold, sun overhead, etc), the amount of pressure the fish are under, water temp and clarity, so on and so forth plays a huge role in the bite for the day. However, throughout time I would have to say for me the following have produced the best:
1. Senkos (mainly watermelons and pumpkins) 2. Mini Strike King spinner bait with single colorado blade and blue/chartreuse skirt 3. Spro Dean Rojas Bronzeye Poppin' Frog (Black Widow) Granted I've caught 'em on crankbaits, rooster tails and a multitude of things in between. |

My top 3 changes from year to year it seems. A few years ago it would have been Senkos, t-rigged craws and flukes. Right now it would probably be sq bill cranks, jigs (football and swim) and flukes.

No way I can narrow it down to 3. Depending on the season, currant weather, and other variables, it changes. Right after ice out, the 3 lures I won't be without are a jig, hard bodied jerkbait, and a chatterbait. Right now, I have 8-9 rods rigged with various lures at all times. Each one for a specific job. But if I HAD to choose only 3 for right now, late spring/early summer, it would be a Rattlin Spook, spinnerbait, and some type of 4-5 inch creature bait. But I'm also going to have a couple crankbaits handy, a buzzbait, a popper, a...............

At present;
1/4 oz finese jig (various trailers) also swim it if things dictate Dingers (texas or wackey usually weightless) popper...I walk them as much as pop them ...I'd really like to add a lipless if you'll let me...heck I'll just sneak it thru. Next week it'll probably change. I'm determined to get fluking in there somewhere.

#1 = Senko, catches fish anywhere and any time of the year
#2 = Spinnerbait, catches fish anywhere and any time of the year #3 = Lipless crankbait, catches fish anywhere and any time of the year. With those three baits I can catch fish all year in all kind of water. Seasonal or specific water I could change one or two for that specific time or place. But for all year long, any water those three will work. |

I'm with Hoosier...Senko, Senko, and a Senko, except I also use a t-rig(you could throw in a Case Frog for topwater).

Top3: Chatterbait Swim Jig T-rigged plastic worm (Like many other's my answer would have been different a year ago, or even a month ago - but I've been killing them on a chatterbait and swim jig the last couple weeks.)

Define "shallow"...
I catch smallmouth (and often largemouth) from ice out till ice up in less than 15'; most often less than 8'. If you do get this direction let's meet. If I can arrange my schedule I'd enjoy getting on the water with you. oe |

Like many of you said, this list is up for editing as time goes by. So far this year, my list would look like this:
1) Jig 2) T-rigged creature 3) Finesse worm The topwater bite has been hot here lately, so a buzzbait or a frog may be moving up the list in a hurry! |

I am really surprised that the Chatterbait wasn't mentioned more.
