    Smallest and largest bait to land a bass in 2018

    I went the spectrum this year and landed bass with vastly different size lures.

    On the smallest side, Ned rig TRD worm.
    On the large side, a 10" glidebait.

    What lures were your smallest and largest used to land a bass in 2018?

    Smallest this year was probably a sub wart or a rooster tail (smallest ever would be a tiny ice jig). Largest was probably a 3/4 ounce football jig with a rage craw trailer.

    Typically target Smallies, but smallest bait would have been a Ned rigged Roboworm "Ned Worm", and the largest a 6" Zoom lizard on a Shakyhead. The Robo-Ned worm caught the largest fish, a LM of 4 lbs or a bit more. Don't turn up your nose at the Ned rig!

    Smallest was a tungsten ice jig just after New Years that a smallmouth fell for. The largest was a 10" power worm that I fish from time to time.
