It`s funny,I read what some people are using and I don`t even tie one on.(sure they would work though)
To a certain point,you have to be confedient on what you have tied on.
I`m a big top water and spinnerbait user,some type of plastic(grub,senko)tied on, to catch a missed strike.
A spinnerbait is my confedience bait,sometimes burning it,other times using it almost like a jig.
The other day I caught bottom and had to give the line a snap to try to free the lure.
A fish bit on the drop,I was like ahh,slow rolled a spinnerbait and caught a few more of the same point.
