over rated.... how about the storm thundercore dawg, i tried it and wasnt impressed, but others may have done well with it.

Our line up of baits will be:
Topwater - Canttell
Bucktail - Secret
Giant Bucktail - Double Secret
Jerkbait - alure

More on the way....

Best- Phantom 7.5"
Worst- Uptown Dawgs- they don't even last for one strike- let alone one fish.

Best Blk Tallywacker, Blk Globe, Crane Brn Perch 5"

Most overrated, I'd have to agree with Kid (now that's scary) Buctail's

Best for us has been of course the Slasher with many fish over 45 inches this year including several 47/48 inchers, two 49 inchers and one fatty 52 incher. Also a close second were all black Bucktails and spinnerbaits. Most over rated is a tough one but would have to say the Legend Perch bait. We dragged them all over this year without a sniff. Also the 6 inch Tuff Shads almost went hitless. Kingfisher

Best NEW lure for the year I think was my Squirrelly Ernie- like that little dude a lot, and will be getting the full size version too.

Worst new lure for the year is no contest, a real laugher- the Real Fish Bullhead. Reeling at anything more than stupid-slow, or any kind of light pull, produces a belly-up swimming motion ! And all his whiskers fell out after about 5 normal cast/retrieves...

Histiorically the most over-rated... hmmm for once I can't say bucktails this year because they performed real well this year (might have a little something to do with the fisherman). I will go with the TopRaider, in my boat at least. It became the new "I surrender bait" - the one you put on just for fun because you can cast it a mile and its fun to look after you've tried everything that should have worked and you know they just ain't going to hit anything.
