I definetly live and die be the shad rap in the spring, i like a black and blue jig with a skirt in the summer and i like the willow leaf spinner in the fall but thats just for bass...I use artificials only tho...I think that an artificial bait shows the skill of an angler.live bait provides its own action artificial doesnt the angler has to give the bait its motion

:thumpsup: Agree 100%. I use different types of artifical than you though. I love the black and blue jig. I use the white with bleeding hook spinner bait. My favorite bait to use though is a 10"watermelon green powerbait worm. Love fishing with it for some reason. Had some great luck with it last year.
