What's your favorite lure to fish, whether or not you catch anything with it or ever have?

I just love to fish a Crazy Crawler parallel to a bluff in deep water, and have caught some dandy Bass with it.
And fishing a spinner bait SLOW, so it bounces off the bottom, and I catch a LOT of Channel Cat like that.
Johnson's Silver Minnow. NEVER EVER caught anything on one in over 60 years of trying.

I have a tackle box full of lures, that the only thing they've ever caught was ME!

Probably my favorite is a Rapala jointed in perch color. It’s usually my go to on any freshwater lake, pond, or river.

Other favorites include Storm Wild Eyes, Bill Lewis Rat-L-Traps, spinner baits, Zara Spooks, Jitterbugs and the lowly plastic worm.

Crazy Crawlers are Awesome

4 inch gill net. They always bite with those.

Nightcrawler and spinner.

Jig

white buzz bait

I have a ton of favorites, many already mentioned above. I’d have to say the one lure that reminds me of fishing as a kid is the red and white Dare Devil. I would wear the paint off a couple of them every summer. I think I’ve caught almost everything that swims on one, in my area anyway, Then later in Ontario. I never gave into the cheap knockoffs, always had to be a genuine Dare Devil.

I occasionally break one out each year for old times sake.

The classic Jitterbug and Hula Popper. Just plain fun to fish, and nothing like it when a fish blows up on them!

Rapala

I get the blanks from a company in China and paint myself. After 30+ years of tournaments and guiding, lipless/blade baits are the most versatile baits I found

Zerek slick back

Jig or slip bobber rig

Andy Reekers spoons in size 5 or bigger red

Am willing to buy any size 4 , 5 or 6 anyone has

We catch quite a few bass on Johnsons Silver Minnows
Got to add a white plastic twisty tail to it

Throw mostly spoons ---Little Cleo and Daredevils for pike.
Rapala and Berkley crankbaits a close second.

Here’s why

Sliver spoon is deadly on pike. Five of diamonds on musky.

A overlooked older lure caught a lot of different fish back in the day,still good today Lazy Ike and flat fish,flat fish are still used quite bit.I caught a 28" walleye on a #60 flat fish trolling for pike.Good for casting for pike and musky,nice slow wobble,caught lots of walleyes on the 3" Lazy Ike's,I'm not sure if they are still being made?
