John Merwin's New 50 Best Lures For Bass, Trout, Walleye, and Crappie
John Merwin's New 50 Best Lures For Bass, Trout, Walleye, and Crappie
Yo-Zuri Snap Bean
The world's smallest crankbaits have a tight, fast wiggle that draws violent reaction strikes from trout. These lures won't bugger up your line by twisting and spinning, so tie one directly to line as light as 2-pound-test for increased casting distance. Fish upstream and retrieve back down faster than the current. 3/4 or 1 inch long; 1/32 or 1/16 ounce. $8 for two; yo-zuri.com

I love this list, some of my favorite lures are on this list and I have used most of these at some points. I love the chug bugs and zara spooks, they have some of the best action of any lures.
The strike that takes place when a bass ambushes these lures is what keeps me hooked on bass fishing,
this is a great list for a beginner fisherman like me. some of these are already in my dad's tackle box. thanks mr. merwin.
