With the sheer number of Mfg.'s on the market, just use the standard female approach and pick the ones that look the prettiest.

Megabass SV-3 spinnerbait......seems to catch fish everywhere I throw it and holds up well. For buzzbaits I like the Megabass Jamaica Boa. I usually use tge white python color.

Just hit the closest tackle shop. They'll have a wall full to choose from... Dan

For spinner baits, I reach out to Paul at ACT lures. He custom makes them and can build them with piano wire for massive vibrations. For buzzbaits, I reach out to Joey at Flatlands. His buzzbaits are amazing. They instantly rise and can be slow rolled or cranked in faster, depending on the bite.

I use a War Eagle Spinnerbait and Strike King Triple Wing Buzzbait but recently have had better success since switching from the Buzzbait to throwing a Berkeley Choppo.

Oldham Spinnerbaits.
Since Strike King discontinued their “pro-model” I use their triple wing buzzbait, I remove the triple wing on some and put on an off center flat blade. And some of those I’ll add a clacker blade.

Lots of variables (are they eating big gizzards or little threadfins? are there white bass in the lake? )
For the price/quality ratio, availability, and keeping it simple; War Eagle spinner baits and buzz baits.

whatever you decide to get, just make sure you get a bunch of them in different sizes and colors, that way you will have a lot of them years later that are still in the package of [censored] you never use.

Or just buy them all in the clearance color nobody wants and make your own skirts.
