I guess mine would be a beaver style bait called the Salty B-Bug, which I buy by the 100 pack from Lure Parts Online.
That one bait has put hundreds of bass up to 6 lbs. in my boat during scouting trips, guide trips, recreational trips and during tournaments.
I've used it during the day, at night and everything in between and have caught fish on it.

If I am by myself I like to rig 10 setups with half in the front and half in the back. Normally make 5 casts with a setup. If not takers then it gets laid down and another picked up. I keep trading off till I get bit. Then I settle down and fish that bait. So I guess I don't have a "go to" bait.

Sounds like a great strategy

When conditions are tough I will use either a texas rig or a drop shot. 90% of the time with a zoom finesse worn or a robo. If I can't get a bite on these may as well boat ride and look for new places or go home and save gas.

My go to bait is a Baby Advantage Jig. If I can't put a fish in the boat with that there ain't no fish in that lake.

Guys, let's add some pics of the baits that we view as our go-to bait.
For the Salty B-Bug, I don't separate the claws. I leave them fused together and it works great that way.

Is that a finesse jig? Do you have a size comparison for it, so I can get an idea of how big (or little) it is compared to a standard jig?

Yes, they are a small profile. Not so much a Finesse. Almost a swim with a little beefier head. I use 3/16-5/16 oz. sizes. I also use NetBait or Rage Tail trailers depending on what and how much action I want. I love the head design because the eye is not exposed to help keep from getting hung up in heavy cover. I also believe it or not use it for top water also. You can hold your rod tip high and burn it back on top or just under. I also use it like you would a frog on vegetation. I even bring it across the top of thick moss and pause it at the edge of holes in the moss then hope it into the holes and back out. The fish will give you a heat attack when they hit it. LOL!
If I can remember tonight when I get home I will get a picture of one rigged in my hand beside a crankbait so you can see the size.
