Default Confidence Lure

I think we talked about this last year about this time, but anyway, what are your confidence lures.

More specifically, your top 3 favorite artificial baits (live baits can be discussed somewhere else)

Mine...

1. 1/8th oz Pink Jighead w/ 3" white Berk. Power Grub
This combo cathces darn near everything in my area and can be fished way too many ways to not be a favorite
2. Mepps Comet
It's a classic and it catches everything - 'nuff said
3. Original Rapala in silver and black
I like the 3 and 4 inch size range personally, and again another time proven classic that works!

Thats a good ?. It actually depends if I've ever fished that body of water before or if I'm tring to find fish fast.

1) chartreuse spinner bait ( covers a lot of area fast)
2) 4-1/2" goldback rapala
3) 4" dark green pepper yahommoto senko
4) 8" creame worm (white tail/reddish body)
5) firetiger rattle trap

Sorry I cheated and put 5. If I can't catch a bass on this arsenal its because I caught them all when I was there last time. I'm strictly catch and release.
