Hahaha, just pick the bait you most enjoy fishing.

If it comes down the bait I enjoy the most, I would have to go with the soft plastic jerk baits (like the Super Fluke). That doesn't mean I don't have a host of other bait genres that enjoy equally as much. The Super Fluke gets a little edge because the action is completely angler imparted. You can make the bait do so many different things to trigger a strike.

My confidence bait changes depending on the water clarity. Dirty water it is a crankbait. Clear water and it is a trick worm fished on either a wacky, T-rig, or drop shot

x2 on this. 261 of 298 fish caught on this during our last 3 trips to the lake. Easy to learn, easy to use, just flat-out catches fish!

On a normal t-rig,you leave the hook inside the worm/plastic ,making it hidden/weedless.

A tex-pose is where the hook is exposed on the outside of the plastic.

I always thought "tex-pose" was when you buried the hook point back into the bait to make it weedless.

That's the way I prefer it....But I think both ways are still considered tex posed...Fully exposed for more open water,tuck the point for light cover.
If its called something else,I really dont know?

Yum Money Craw, rigged on a spot remover weighted hook. I can fish this like a swimbait, topwater, jig or just shaky head style. This thing is super versatile, if I had to go just one color, I'm going Blue/Black--Green a real close second choice on color!
