i guess it depends on what you call a trophy bass.one of the areas i fish a 20lber is a trophy fish these days and very few are caught on eels mostly tins and pencils.another area on LI a 50lber is a trophy bass and again most are caught on darters,bucktails and tins. it is all about location that dictates what works best.
