Just curious to see what baits y'all have bought thinking they will be great but have never ended up throwing. I bought a buzzbait about 12 years ago with a 12" wire that I watched Bill Dance throw on one his shows. Never ended up using it and I just sold it over the weekend with some other tackle I sold on Facebook.
Another for me would be swim jigs. I bought about 5 different ones and just end up throwing chatterbaits in those situations I was planning on

I have a lot of random dropshot baits that never get used, but would probably work pretty well. That's about it.

Ive got a bunch...
Prop Baits, jigs, swim jigs, swimbaits, buzzbaits.
I've thrown jigs a lot and only have ever caught 3 fish on one and it was off a bed in the spawn. Chunked a buzzbait for days and never a bite. Caught a few on a swimbait but not much confidence in it.
It may just be that I am not very versatile. I tend to pitch T-rigs and throw crankbaits. I bet I get 95% of my bites on those two techniques.

A Rigs and 10 Xds for me! I have thrown the 10 XDs a couple times without a bite They pull so hard you don't need to catch a fish on them, they are fun enough to reel in by themselves
See you on the lake and have a great day!

It's crazy to see all the different things some people never throw. Some of these baits are go-to's for many of us!

was that purchased because of the Falcon Lake stringer that was reportedly caught using this from 7 or so years ago?

Most of then I don't fish with or at least not very often. Might was well flush $$$ down the toilet.

A-rig. I've got several and have caught fish on them, but during the time when they really shine I much prefer an underspin, scrounger head, or just a regular swimbait. It's not that I hate them or anything, it's just that they always get put aside for something more favorable.

Buzzbaits. Have never even had a fish look at one that I can remember. Wow, I love throwing a buzzbait. I have a lot of extra tackle that I don't use because the boat is already full but one bait that I have a bunch of but rarely throw is a hard jerk bait.

Those not catching on buzzbait blows my mind. They are awesome. Tri-wing over lily pads will catch big fish, especially during the hot summer days. Can't even comprehend not having one tied on. Big fish love it.

was that purchased because of the Falcon Lake stringer that was reportedly caught using this from 7 or so years ago? Probably, I don't remember but that's around the time frame I bought them. I think you may be thinking of Del Rio's Keith Combs who won the PAA tournament on Tawakoni a couple years ago, fishing docks. Yes, I own half a dozen and no I've not thrown one. I remember when the Lunker Lure first came out, way back in the 70's. They had field tested it on Toledo Bend and had sounded like a possible maybe but after buying two and looking at them I figured I would not be caught dead throwing something that stupid looking. Then next year the Texstar Bass Club here in Arlington was fishing Toledo Bend on a two day spring trip. The first day was overcast and we did pretty well on spinnerbaits. The second day was clear and hot. Nothing going on and about 10 I looked and saw the two I had bought the previous year. One was white, the other chartreuse. So for fun over on the Louisiana side across from Huxley Bay I started throwing it out. My partner turned the other way and kept fishing. I think he was annoyed that I took that loud thing out while he was seriously fishing. You can guess what happened. Second or third cast, fish. Another couple casts, another fish. We put the trolling motor on high and started catching a limit which for our club back then was ten. They seemed to only want the white one so when I finished my limit I gave it to Ron and he caught a couple before we went back to the weigh in. Good times.

Wow, crazy to see so many of my go-to baits listed. Jigs, buzzbaits, and big cranks are some of my main tools. Won tournaments throwing just those so to hear that guys have given up on those baits just sounds crazy to me

I'll be a good samaritan and take all the hollow body frogs, buzz baits, oversized crank baits, whopper ploppers, and jigs off your hands free of charge!

Keitech Crazy Flapper..... I bought way too many of these things after catching one fish with the bait. Now I prefer Rage Bugs and never throw the flappers anymore.

was that purchased because of the Falcon Lake stringer that was reportedly caught using this from 7 or so years ago? Probably, I don't remember but that's around the time frame I bought them. Probably when Keith Combs won on Twok.

A Rigs and 10 Xds for me! I have thrown the 10 XDs a couple times without a bite They pull so hard you don't need to catch a fish on them, they are fun enough to reel in by themselves These 2 for me also. Same here. And Im a cranking fool but 10XD I just have no confidence in.

Those big old deep divers, They are pretty but a real chore to throw all day. My left wrist is full of arthritis so it hurts to thrown them much, but I have caught lotsa of fish and big fish on the A rig so that's what I throw. Not as much work for me. Nothing like hooking up on a heavy fish using 65# braid in deep water. It is a jolt that is pure excitement on the A rig.

Tubes, and 10XD's. I bought a bunch while I was in Kuwait out of pure boredom while they were on sale at TW.

Soft plastic lizards, I just usually throw my brushhogs instead. +1 +2 Completely agree. Dont even know why. Somewhere along the way all the other creature baits caused my lizards to disappeared from my arsenal. No reason cus they never stopped working.
