If I'm fishing from a boat, the slab. If I have no boat in this scenario, the roadrunner.

The question is not fair. At different times of the year, there are different best lures. In the summer the top water lure is the best and in the other seasons the slab is the best. I prefer the Baby Torpedo for top water and a 5/8 oz chartreuse slab for deep water fishing.

Tailspinners either chartreuse or white work for me most of the year except when deadsticking, then it is slabs.

Pop R would be my choice in a top water lure but I often chunk a slab or Little George in to surfacing fish.

Yes they do and it is the preferred choice of us on Rayburn! cheers

We prefer the 3/4 oz model so it will sink faster past the the smaller fish and the treble hoos don't hang up like the 1/2 oz ones. woot

It depends on how/where you are fishing for them.
If it's deep, I'll go with a Mepps or slab. Chasing surface
schools/white birds, a flat edge spoon works as good as
anything I've tried. With or without a bucktail. In the shallows
and creeks, I prefer a out of production lure that's gotten extremely
hard to come by.

Little George has caught more sandies for me than any other lure. It's heavy,very easy to cast a mile, and has a built in spinner. It's a 'two-fer'. You can bounce it like a slab when u need to and buzz the top when they are pushing shad.
