Default favorite soft-plastic lure company

I'm just curious... what is your guys' favorite soft-plastic lure company?

Mine is YUM! I like the L.V.P. I catch almost all my fiish off of YUM products.

Have always loved Zoom, but now am an avid fan of Alluring Baits and Strike Kings Ragetails.

thats hard to answer cause i use products from most of the above companies , i preffer the zoom super flukes and i use yums craws also i tend to sway more towards the powerbait worms , and their is no contest between a yum dinger and the Yamamoto senko , I'll pay more for the senko evey time . and even then i'll lean towards a lot of the zoom products because they are easy on the wallet . It goes by a wimb as to what catches my eye on any give day in the tackle section if it was strictly a favorites game i would most likely only own a third of the tackle that i currently do .

Tubes- Smitty's, beyond a doubt!
Sticks- Yamamoto and Mann's
Wacky jig worms- Jackall
Trailers- Strike King and KidLizard
Everything else- No preference, whatever works.

there is no way i can have just one favorite.
worms- berkley power worms
lizzards- zoom
twin tail grubs (jig trailers)- chompers, zoom, or yamamoto

after that it is just kinda a little bit of everthing.

I feel the same way as c-rig, you cannot have just one favortie...

Stickbaits - Yum Dinger
Ribbontails - Berkley
Finesse Worms - Zoom
I also use many other products including Berkley Power Shaky worms, Yum Big Show Paddleworm, and many craws from different companies.

I use mostly my own Nemesis baits, but some things we don't make so I have to get off the shelf stuff. For shaky head worms Don Iovino worms, craws Zoom Cross Craws and Speed Craws, tiny paca chunks and super chunk jr. trailers.
Still trying to find a good big worm that works. Currently trying Gene Larew El Salto 12", Culprit 10", and Zoom Ol Monsters.

Zoom - lizards, worms, flukes

I just purchased this
BPS Bass Kit. I have yet to use but am confident I will catch something with them.

I use more powerbait than anything, with YUM close behind. Although I do like the ragetail and can't wait till those new ones come out.

You need to add Reaction Innovation, Strike King, Yamamoto, Venom, Creme, Gene Larew, Netbait, Gambler, and others to your list to vote on.

.....and I'm personally disappointed Bender and I weren't listed either .

JB - Don't be telling me that ! That's all I need is to have to go out and buy another craw imitation bait. Stupid bait monkey!

Actually I've got a few Larews in a box or bag somewhere around the house. I've gone to the Craw Papi and Paca craws recently. Once the fish get used to them I'll break out the gudunz!

Other, Gambler and Reaction Innovations. But there will always be a bag of Zoom plastics somewhere in my worm wallets.

I love to fish a regional one called Kelly worms. Yamamoto is a close 2nd though. Bought some clearance Senko's at Dicks awhile back and WOW.

Sometimes i find myself buying from certain companies just because the bait looks good to me. Haha it seems the manufactures catch fisherman better than they do fish sometimes. But, I always find myself going back to zoom.

I've never seen that Larew craw before, it looks a little like the Zoom Cross Craw, that is also hard to find.
