Favorite BRAND lures
Are Sebiles, Strike Pro, expensive rapalas worth it? Whats yalls go to baits?
Re: Favorite BRAND lures
imo, rapala x-raps are the bench mark for jerkbaits. pretty hardy but lemons do occur once in a while.
I used to find x-raps expensive. until someone did an average costing based on the no. of fish one lure catches before it's decommissioned either to snags or normal wear and tear. i admit that notwithstanding lemons, rapalas are downright CHEAP.
Then again, there's no LM bass here, only peacock bass; so your bass might like something else better.

Re: Favorite BRAND lures
in my experience, having tried the house brands of some retailers (bps, cabelas, mainly) and some of the cheaper brands of hardbaits around (matzuo, some other i cant think of off hand) i have to say that i wouldnt buy most of them again. i think that each company probably has a model in their respective line-ups that is good, personally i will stick to a proven product with a long line of quality, productivity and a product that will, in most cases, be around for a while, so if i like it i can get more!
that being said, most of the major manufacturers out there make a quality product, and i dont have a loyalty to specific brands, rapala, strike king, sebile, berkely (flicker shads are under rated by the bass crowd, IMO), lucky craft, ima, spro, etc, all have a place in my tackle boxes, and i look forward to each coming icast to see what comes out. so, imo, yes they are worth the money.
my personal favorites are: for daytime berkely flicker shad size 7 (maybe the 9, but thats too new and i havent used it much yet) catches everything, walleye, both smallies and largies, catfish, pike, whitebass, etc. and at night i love clakin minnows to keep over the tops of weeds for walleyes and bass.

Re: Favorite BRAND lures
I would have to say Megabass.
Re: Favorite BRAND lures
Megabass for me too
I can't seem to catch much on anything else at the local watering holes I visit. TON of pressure

Re: Favorite BRAND lures
Put me into the Rapala bin, dollar for dollar I just get a lot out of them and they catch fish. I have some Megabass and Lucky Craft baits and they do catch fish but I have them for certain situations.
Re: Favorite BRAND lures
Luckycraft but i skip them when i feel i can get by without due their price.

Rapala n strike king, norman my fav cranks company

Your question can't be answered unless you narrow your bait catagory significantly.
