I know favorite is an absolute, but I can't simply say that I have one favorite this year because there are 2 or 3 that I really enjoy fishing with now.

Last year, my favorite was the Horny Toad...hands-down.

This year, I am really liking the worm, the Berkely 10" Powerworm in Junebug to be exact. I havent caught tons of fish on it, but the ones i have caught have been of great quality. I am also really liking a new lure that has quickly become a go to, and thats the KaRu Lures Vibrashock in Extreme Bluegill. Its a chatterbait that has been designed where the disc taps the sides of the football head jig resulting in more hits on the front of the chatterbait than on the tail end. It has produced LOTS of fish for me this year, some of which have been very nice.

Its interesting to note that last year my favorite was the Horny Toad, but this year I haven't used it much at all. I have had decent luck with it, but I just havent fished it much because I am fishing much deeper waters now and the lure doesnt fit the fishing style for those bodies of water.

If i had to chose one favorite though, it would probably be the 10" worm. I may go an hour or two without a bite, but there is just something about that solid TAP, TAP, TUUUUG, that makes my heart skip a beat. Plus, its almost always a good fish on the end of the line.
