Basically any predator fish will go for a lure at the right place at the right time.
I think that's what I wanted to see - PREDATOR FISH. So I should be able to fish any water populated with predator fish and catch something using my bassing gear.

Works for me :SSS

Ask Ryan, any fish can be caught on any lure, you just need to know how to present it to the fish.

Im currently on about 13 different species on lure in the fresh so far and im still way behind other guys!

But i think for the purpose of the question of bass lures you'll generally be able to get the following:

Bass
Barbel
Kurpers eg: Blue, Redbreast, Vlei, Kanarie
Yellows: largemouth, lowveld largescale, lowveld smallscale, papermouth, natal scaly etc
Bluegill Sunfish
Makriel
Tigers
Carp
Trout

Just to mention a few
