I would have to say Salmo, because I don't know much about variety of lures, just for being able to catch a variety of fish.
slip bobbing is the laziest way to fish

jackall for me, they got great colors, alot of depths, and solid construction.

never had a problem with them, and every lure ive fished from them has produced alot of fish

Agreed. Our fellow bass anglers from across the pond have bigger worries right now.

Japanese baits are superior in 99% of cases. My American/Euro exceptions being Xcalibur and Rapala.
Aside from the fact thay Xcalibur does not have nearly the array of styles of lures, or color palettes, the actual quality of he baits themselves are on par 100% with Luckycraft. I'd have answered LC if money wasn't an issue for me but it is - hence my Rapala answer (If I HAD to choose just one manufacturer). Fortunately I don't - so I use Rapala & L.C. jerkbaits, Excalibur and Daiwa cranks, Heddon topwaters, Koppers rattlebaits and frogs, and the list goes on...

If I had to choose only one brand it would be DEPS!

IMO they have the best jerkbait in the Balisong Minnow, it just outperforms all my other brands. I also do well
with their crankbait lineup like the Realiser. And let's not forget the Buzzjet and Radscale for top water action!

Although I haven't yet thrown any of there large swim baits they seem to have a large offering.
