Have a look at some of the posts on here about copy lures, for bass you cant go wrong with the Patchinko. To be honest though its not all about the lure, I've mentioned on here before most of my bass have been caught on cheap lures, finding the fish and learning the conditions are far more likely important, you cant chuck as many expensive lures at the water as you want, and believe me i have, but if the fish aren't there you wont catch. And the opposite applies, in my opinion, if the fish are there and feeding they will take most lures. I only went out twice this year chasing bass, mainly because I'm a species hunter, and i landed one on a 28g Zenith when all my other lures where failing.
