re: The Only 5 Largemouth Lures You Need (for beginners)

If it can't be caught on a beetle spin it doesn't need to be caught.

I’d take your 5 to any lake and expect to catch bass. Great selection!

Spinnerbait( no tackle box is complete without them)
Buzzbait( same as above)
Texas rig(same as above)
Crankbait
walking topwater bait


Can catch em anywhere/anytime with those choices

Sorry meant to downvote.

1 banjo minnow
2 flying lure

Of course using my Ronco pocket fisherman

White and Chartreuse Humdinger Spinnerbait
Wacky Worm
Blue and Chrome RaLTrap
Watermelon Brushhog
Pop R

1. Hoosker Do's
2. Hoosker Don'ts
3. Nipsey daisers (with or without the scooter stick)
4. Whistling kitty chaser
5. Crack piper

Chrome and black rattle trap.
White spinner bait, about 1/2 oz with a silver Colorado blade.
Original Rapala floating minnow, 4 3/8 inch long.
Plastic worm of choice for texas / carolina rig, doesn't matter which one as long as it is somewhere close to an original manns purple grape in color.

And one that not many folks would agree with most likely but a 3/8 oz black rooster tail.

Rattle trap can be fished just about anyway bass want it. Same with a spinner bait, fast and up top or slow rolling....and both can cover a LOT of ground. Gotta have a plastic worm rigged up and ready to go for fishing slower and deeper and also to throw at short strikes on the spinner bait. The original Rapala is as good a top water bait as has ever existed and can also be fished 2-3 feet deep. And you would have the plastic in the case of missed strikes.

Finally the rooster tail. I get it, not exactly what most people consider a bass bait BUT they simply flat out catch fish. If I were fishing current it'd be my go to bait. May not catch a bunch of hawgs but will almost always catch a bunch of 1-2 pounders.

I feel like if I only ever threw a humdinger spinnerbait and a Texas-rigged junebug trick worm, I’d catch more fish. And a buzz bait early morning.

I do not do much bass fishing any more but when I do I throw a spinner bait year round about 70% of the time. Covers lots of water, can be fished multiple ways and bass of all sizes simply can't resist them.
