If you could only use one brand for all your baits and lures which brand would it be?
Rapala
Not that they're my favorite but I would say Berkley because they would cover hard baits and soft plastics.
Edit; I forgot to include Strike King. Probably would go with them.
Strike king. Although I wouldn't ever chose to have just one brand.
Well if you don't count plastics, 6th Sense

Strike king or Berkley both companies would cover hard baits and soft plastics. Hard to pick one between the two. Strike king definitely makes better hard baits but Berkley has been doing me some good lately with their max scent plastics. ????????????????????

Strike King is the only company that makes it all, plastics, jigs, bladed jigs spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, spoons, cranks, traps, jerks, topwaters, frogs, even weights and terminal items, have to go with Strike King.
It's a pretty loaded question since like @Bluebasser86 said Strike King is probably one of the only companies that you could make a well-rounded tackle selection from. They've got terminal tackle, soft plastics, hard baits etc. They're not my favorite company for really any lure category though.
Second choice might be Berkley.
Gambler.............it's what works for me......
Strike King because of the wide variety in both Lures and Plastics...and because they also manufacture lead and tungsten...to my knowledge there isn't another big brand who manufacturers everything ....except maybe BPS
Probably go with Pradco.
Definitely pradco has it all...

90 percent of my fishing is soft plastics that's why I didn't chose those other companies with the diversity of lures

same here...
I would go with Berkley because I throw power worms more than anything else and it would be awfully hard to give them up. Second choice would be Bass Pro Shop brand. I don't really have one favorite bait from them, well maybe there stik-o baits, but I feel that they make a decent copy of just about everything I would need.

Mann's 9" Blackberry Jelly Worm.
Strike King because they make almost every kind of bass bait, hard and soft.

Pradco covers everything but Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits might be close for me.
Pradco for the question.
Strike king
Keitech. The 4.8 Swing Impact Fat is used more than any other bait for me already. They're other offerings seem to be on par with other soft plastic manufacturers as well. But nothing beats a Swing Impact Fat.
As much as they irritate me, I'd have to go BPS. You'd have everything you need. Wouldn't be the best of anything but it would be ok.

You took this right from under me haha. I was going to say the same thing. BPS would be my choice for one brand simply because they make such a wide variety of descent baits and lures.
I was going to say Berkley since they just released a line of topwater baits. After reading some of the opinions it would be Bass pro shops. You could go into any of their stores without owning any fishing gear and buy the bps brand gear, head to the lake and catch some fish.
Wow....Praise the Lord I don't have to make a choice. I help keep this industry going!!!
"A Jack of all trades is a master of none" comes to mind. Since most of the big bait companies share wholesalers for some product offerings, I can't say there is one Brand I could honestly say could provide best in class products in every category. What I could do is to narrow it down to companies who provide the best in certain bait offerings. Plastics/Hard Baits/Terminal tackle, etc. It would make my head hurt trying to find one company who offers everything.
Another vote for Strike King. Diversity of a wide range of tackle options from crappie baits to musky baits.
Strike King for me!
Yamamoto, baby!
