I’d have to go with the original silver 2 hook Rapala and black and yellow H&H spinnerbaits as the best for me. The worst...I have a whole tackle box full of demoted baits. I hate to throw them away, but neither do I see the point at throwing them at bass.

Can’t at what the best was... I don’t remember right off....
Worst- Berkeley J Walker 120! Bought from BPS 2 weeks ago, used 3 times caught 2 small bass, it started sinking in the back, I looked at it and it had water in it and a crack along the back approx. 1.5”... Emailed Berkeley, no response, worst $8 I’ve EVER spent on a lure! If you take it back with you on your next trip to Bass Pro, I'm sure they'll swap you out for another one. I do like the J Walker, but the Drift Walker is my go to topwater.

Lateral Perch comes to mind. I know some caught a few but I don't remember getting 1 bite on those things. Anybody do any good on this?

Smithwick Blinker. Had battery in belly and red eyes that blinked. Drop into aquarium in tackle shop and bass would come look it over and hit it. Didn’t work well in the lake. Blinko! I worked in a big tackle store for 13 years and when that lure first came out we sold a bunch of them. I think they are fairly valuable collectors items now. Worst Whopper Plopper I know they catch fish but I am zero for 2 years on them. Best speed craw and DD22
