Lures - Opinions Wanted
 

I am in the process of starting an online tackle store and wanted to solicit some help regarding lures. As a start up I don't want to carry everything as it's hard to compete with the big boys on selection/volume but I do believe I can offer good discounts if I focus on a key selection of tried and true winners in key colors. Having said that, I want to carry proven lures and cater to LA/TX fisherman and fishing conditions.

So, what are your three favorite hard baits and three favorite soft baits? And colors? If you respond, I would appreciate it if you let me know your primary fishing location as well- i.e. Big Lake, Cocodrie, etc. And yes, I know Sand Eels are bound to come up!

Bulk jig heads and bulk soft plastics... cheap...

I you get sand eels Jr....I will buy bulk 5000 @ a time

Sand eel, high tide shrimp, and sparkle beetles in bulk would be a start.

Hard Baits:
Mirrolure (She Dog's, Top Dog's, Catch 2000's)
Jerk Bait such as a Long A
Soft Baits:
Norton Sand Eels, H&H Cocahoes or Deadly Dudleys, DOA Shrimp

In soft plastics, I agree with W, bulk is the way to buy ... I don't need 5000 like W, cause I don't get to fish as much, but it would be nice to get the colors I wanted in either a 50 or 100 count.

Jig Heads, again bulk would be great, 1/8 oz., 1/4 oz., 3/8 oz.

I fish Big Lake and Venice Area

Sand eels silver flake, glow/chartreuse, cocohoes, 1/8 &1/4 norton shrimp jig heads in packs of 25, 3/0 & 4/0 kahle hooks, johnsons spoon, doa shrimp, 4" gulp natural shrimp - big lake
