ddfridd_007... For bass, my favorite artificial is a 1/4 ounce white spinner bait with 2 blades (willow leaf and colorado blades). Best all around search bait. For more finesse fishing, Berkley's Power Bait black 6" Power Worm, Texas rigged with a 3/16" bullet weight on a 3/0 or 4/0 Owner hook can't be beat.
