Kyle,

If you are looking for a lure that is a proven fish catcher at Perris I would say consider a basstrix, osprey, or generic trout. All of those lures have caught a number of big bass at Perris in the past. There certainly is no "best trout plug" out there. Each plug fills a niche and has it's own specific applications.

For example, you have the surface or slightly sub-surface running baits like the AC Plug, MS Slammer, Generic Trout, and Castaic Trout. If the fish will come up and hit it on top, those are good bets. In the deep water and sinking category you have stuff like the Optimum, Basstrix, Mission Fish, and others. And then there is the Osprey and the Eagle which are sort of a mid-range baits that can be worked deep or shallow. Some days you might nail them on top and some days you might get them down deep (especially at a lake like Perris).

I know that's not a clear answer but hopefully it will get you thinking about where you expect you might get bit (top, middle, or deep) and based on that you can narrow it down some.
