Wood (floating) - Get a 9inch Slammer in the flavor of your choice (Dark or light Rainbow) - $35

Composite (confused as wood - Sinker) - Triple Trout (7 or 10 inchers) - $50 - $65

Small baits - Mattlures Bluegill ($20) and Mattlures baby bass ($10)

Medium Rubber - Huddleston (5 or 12) (why not, everyone else has 1 or 18) - $35

Large rubber - Stocker Trout (10 inch) - One of, if not the best big fish swimbaits - $25

ms slammer 9" (light or dark trout)
hudd rof 5 (troutskie)
hudd rof 12 (trout)
mattlures bluegill (trout)
mattlures bass (bluegill)

The others SWMB8R mentioned are all good too, but I could live without the triple trout and stocker trout (maybe not if I lived in socal, though).

1) Castaic hardbait trout (inject)

2) Rago's soft live trout

3) Huddleston rof 12

4) 3 16 wakebait

5) 22nd century 10" triple trout

5) Rago's baby tool hardbait (floater & fast sink)

Sorry, could not decide between the last two, its a tie.
