This time a year for bass whats always in your tackle box? For me it's some type of craw or lizard. What's in y'all's tackle box and what brands you prefer?
 
Lizards, flukes, senkos. Mostly zoom except senkos and for the life of me I can't think of the brand of those off top of my head. Red and white bag at Walmart and other retailers

Honestly I rarely tie on lizards/worms anymore though

Some type of deep diving crankbait for me. I like a plain ole Fat Free Shad or Strike King XD5/6 models. Have also been using Zboss cranks but really have caught more on the FFS and XDs than anything. I will occasionally have a Dd14 or DD22 tied on too.

Another favorite is a spoon. You'll never catch me without a kastmaster or Foley spoon tied onto at least one rod this time of year through the fall.

Any particular way you rig those spoons?

Dog days of summer, time to slow down!! I'm a jig fisherman first and foremost. Then a big ol zoom monster worm. Or at night a 1 oz spinner bait with a Colorado blade, the size of the kitchen table.

couldnt have said it better at least on KY lake. ill even downsize baits. i like a dropshot with something like a shaky head worm. things are fixin to change though when the bait starts moving back out to deeper water. winter drawdown should produce some good current.

my hernia repair is about healed and i fixin to catch the shiaat out of some fish.

I do it slightly different then some. Most people rig a Foley spoon on a Carolina rig. I do a modified version of that. Instead of a egg sinker and swivel, I use a trolling sinker that has swivels molded into each end of the weight. General use 1/2 oz. Foley spoons are a schooling fish destroyer. Especially for white bass and fishing in the tail water below the dams. When it gets hot, I start fishing right below the dams in the moving water. Trolling crankbaits and fishing foley spoons are both good ways to catch a lot of fish.

Shaky heads are another done of my favorites. The most easy yet effective Baird out there
 
I mostly fish for panfish and trout, but catch the occasional bass. i usually have white, silver, or grey 1/16 oz or 1/8 oz roostertails. I also use the 2" curly tail grubs in white/chartruese combo. I have various colors, but it seems I go to white more often, as the lakes I fish are dingy/stained, but not necessarily muddy. Occasionally I'll throw a white/pink or white chartreuse 1/16 or 1/8 oz spinerbait.
