The title says it all, do you all have any suggestions for good lures for small-medium sized bass.

Senko, I like green pumpkin. Lipless crank, I like the Strike king redeyed shad. A square bill. A jig, black and blue. Those are a few staples.

Thanks! Senkos seem to do it for me a good bit.

Yeah they are great, green pumpkin always works here but there are a lot of other great colors too. You should also have a top water lure like a heddon torpedo, or small wopper plopper if its open water or a frog for weeds.

The YUM ones work pretty well too.

Yeah I usually buy those because they are cheaper and just as good I think, or close enough.

From the testing I've done they seem to work just as well, I usually get the green/white ones with the black speckle in them I think it's called watermelon or something like that.

All depends on the environment - water temperature, depth, clarity, underwater structure etc.

But, I’ve found the Mepps spinnerbaits to be pretty universal bass catchers as long as the water is not too mossy.

Otherwise I’ll stick to softbait with a weedless rig and adjust the color, weight, and softbait type until I find something that gets results where I’m fishing that day.

I have found that a bleeding shinner rattle trap and a KVD square bill crankbait (Tennessee shad color) works on almost any lake I have fished including some in Alaska.

Put a 1/32 ounce Malibu jig (I mostly use white ) on a safety pin spinner. I catch both small and large mouth bass as well as walleye, crappie and occasionally a fair sized northern pike.
