No problem. It's just part of the learning curve.

best bait by far is a live yellow perch 4-6 inches in length

Just seeing what is everyone's favorite bass lure!... (show quote)
I would say for small mouths I use a safety pin spinner on various jigs and for large mouth I use a Lazy Ike in frog or firetiger pattern

Well, I have to say that y’all kinda went off on a tangent as hooks ain’t lures. The question was about favorite bass lure. Personally, I couldn’t name just one lure as conditions warrant the type of lure to throw. Lately, I have been fairly successful with traps, jerkbaits and spinnerbaits. Could I say any was my favorite? Not really. If the question was: If you could only have one lure, what would you choose? Probably be a jig.
Hooks aren't lures but the "Senko" types of stick baits are considered lures.
They were just elaborating on what hook they liked to use with the Senkos.
By the way, I agree with using Senkos or craw types of soft plastics on whatever hook you like best.

PapaReels, before senko's, it was a thin wire yellow and white 3/8 oz. spinner bait. It was very versatile; you could work shallow or deep depending on speed and blades. Now I catch more fish on the 5 inch senkos in the green pumpkin or watermelon red flake colors.

I fish it weightless. I let it fall to the bottom, pick it up with a rod lift, a time or two and let it fall again. I let it sit on the bottom five to 10 seconds betweem falls. If no pick up, I cast again a few feet further down the bank. 99% of the strikes are on the fall or when laying on the bottom. I rarely get a bite on the lift. Most bites are seen as line movement rather than felt. Bites often come just a foot or so from the bank.
Perfect description bapabear
Most times if I felt a bite it wasn't a bass.
My biggest was a slight tick.
I liked green pumpkin red flake.
Then I tried natural shad senko. Had alot of luck with that.
I used 4" the most.

Same here sir! By the time go fast boats are done at 7 it doesn't take long for things to calm down and throw some jitterbugs. Love to watch the topwater strike.
