Okay, here's my new post for the contest.
I think Wave makes some really great baits. I have had great success with their stick baits, tubes and toads. I especially like the swirl patterns.
This last summer I was fishing a small reservoir in Idaho right around the beginning of post spawn. I had caught a lot of small bass on lipless cranks, worms and swimbaits, but they were all 10-12". Finally I decided to try a Wave pumpkin/chartreuse swirl 4" Tiki Tube rigged weightless. I cast it up next to a beaver dam and missed a much better fish. A couple of casts later I caught this fatty.

It definitely got my day going in a more positive direction.
Another time I was having a fair evening at Mantua until I tied on a weightless Texas rigged 4" Tiki Stick in a watermelon swirl (I can't remember the exact color, this was several years ago). I fished it fast across the surface, walking the dog, occasionally killing it to let it fall, and the bass went nuts on it. I don't remember how many I caught, but it was pretty much non stop action until I couldn't see anymore.
