Is your question what are your 3 most productive baits, or are you asking what are your most productive baits of the three you mentioned, the crank bait, the spinner bait and the top water bait?

Your title seems to ask something different than your question.

really depends on the season and water temps

I have a lot of baits I use that I have a lot of confidence in but I let the water temp, cover, visibility, depth, dictate.

I fished a 50 acre Private Water Fishing club lake for the first time last week. I showed up with 4 rods and didn't have one bait tied on when I arrived. I had one rod rigged with a 1/4 oz weight and a 4/0 hook for soft plastic. I got out on the water and looked at it then made a decision on what baits to start.

Too many times I think we show up with preconceived notions of what we should be using then try to make the fish bite them. I have been guilty of this as well. We think because we whacked them on a watermelon Senko last week we can duplicate it.

I fish with a couple buddies that will pretty much only throw a weightless Senko when they go. They rarely deviate from that or a Yellow Magic topwater if they hit the lake early. They will throw the YM at the shoreline for the first hour or so them pick up the Senko. If they don't catch fish on either one of those they leave thinking the fish weren't biting. They may have missed a school of fish sitting off a small point that would have eaten a big squarebill.

I know we gain confidence in certain lures and I have a lot of confidence in certain baits as well but I am not married to them. They are all like tools in our tool-belt. I see too many guys that are using a phillips-head screwdriver when an Allen wrench would produce much better results.

Get out on the water, look at the cover then decide

Well using the three you asked about. Crankbait - Topwater - Spinnerbait

Season makes a difference.. but now for me its drop shot, Crig, DT10

The three listed. Sorry for the confusion.
Your best of each one.

Oh ok.

LC Silent 1.5
War Eagle River Rat
Super Spook

Of your listed 3:

Norman deep little n.
1/2 ounce double willow War Eagle
Tuned Buzzbait

For the above,
Squarebill - Academy XPS or Strike King 1.5, either Shad or black / chartreuse
Spinnerbait - War Eagle 3/8 willow / colo chartreuse/white
Topwater - Xcaliber / Booyah X pop, buzzbait or Spro popping frog. Depending on time of year

However I throw chatterbait more than spinnerbait year round.

Chatterbait
Jig
C-Rig Mag Fluke

Senko -- fished all types of ways
Spinnerbait --- Strike King Premier Plus and War Eagle
Ripbaits , Megabass 110 and Lucky Craft

Three lure I suck at --
Deep diving cranks
Frog
Any type of flippin

I guess I really need to try the senko, been fishing for 40 years and never tried one

If I had 3 baits to go to a new lake tomorrow, I'd take a drop-shot, jackhammer and a 3.2" keitech.

All of the above and then about a thousand more LOL

Shallow diver
Texas rig
Rat L' Trap

I'll put things I like to fish:

bladed jig

frogs

plastics in all forms and techniques

That's the best I can nail it down. Oh, I really like squarebills too.

Brush Hog-Chug Bug-Spinnerbait

Crankbait - I don't use a crankbait often but the Bombers and Frittside have been good to me. I need to use a crankbait more.
Spinnerbait - I haven't tried all the brands but Booyah, Terminator and War Eagle have worked well.
Topwater - I like walking baits, especially the Strike King Sexy Dawg. I also like the Rebel Pop-R type.

Lately I've been having the best success with wacky and ned rigs.

You are over the limit for P/M messages. I have a question about one of your favorite baits. I would like to send you a P/M

Senko no doubt
Spinnerbait - blade is more important to me than brand but big Colorado blade
Crankbait - traps and squarebills (don't throw too deep, wears me out).

Bring your credit card

You don't get a lot in a bag, they aren't cheap and you get a couple uses most of the time (I will flip them and rehook if fun fishing, most of the time I use a knockoff cheapie for that though)

2- Ned Rig
3- Carolina Rig

Spring time
1- Any red crankbait

Summer time
1- flipping creature bait (Pit Boss)

Fall time
