Elite Series pro Randall Tharp relies heavily on only a few hook styles and a handful of soft plastic profiles for most of the bass fishing situations he encounters. He feels anglers tend to carry too much, adding unnecessary weight and complicating organization and lure selection. He shows us his favorite hook styles for 90% of his bass fishing and how he organizes them, plus the handful of soft plastics that help him excel as a soft plastics angler. These are proven baits the country over, and worth your look.
