BINGO


fishing user avatarJeff H reply : 

Tough one for me as I'm VERY partial to my jigs, but....if I could only fish one lure for the rest of my life I think I'd choose a 7" original Powerworm in in either Blue Fleck or Junebug rigged with a 1/4 oz Thunderbullets brass weight and a Gamakatsu 3/0 hook.

There are days when they won't hit a jig but they will always hit a worm.  I COULD fish the rest of my life with just jigs and worms but I sure the heck wouldn't want to. ;)


fishing user avatarSolo reply : 

4" green pumpkin grub on 1/4 oz jig head.


fishing user avatarDavis reply : 

7" Berkley Power Worm

Motor Oil color

I may have had a lot with senko style baits this year but for my lifetime this worm has given me a ton of memories and some big fish. Not to mention smallies and LM will take this bait along with some aggressive bluegill lol.


fishing user avatarTriton21 reply : 

JIG!!!!!!!!!


fishing user avatarGhetto_Basser reply : 

Blk/Blue Pig and Jig without a doubt. The spinnerbait though would be tough because

of it's versatility

fishing user avatarTournyFish001 reply : 

a green pumpkin red flake kamakazee hitzit tube 3.5" with a 1/8oz tube jighead rigged hook exposed should get a very close second (honorable mention) to my Chartruse Shad LV100!!!! Just one bait man that would be horrible :-/


fishing user avatarTriton9 reply : 

3/8 oz craw colored jig with a craw trailer


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Arguably, the two most universal lures are the tube and the jig. Warm weather, cold weather, it doesn't matter. Both baits can be fished shallow and deep; on structure or in cover; active or inactive fish...it just doesn't matter. These are the baits for "All Seasons" and "All Conditions."


fishing user avatarBass Hammer reply : 

Jig ;)

Black and blue

Agreed!


fishing user avatarBass_Akwards reply : 

If I was on an island stranded and needed to catch fish to survive, probably a jig or a senko. But for the sheer beauty and exitement of true bass fishing, there's absolutely nothing like a buzzbait or frog strike to make your day/night.

I think I'd have to chose a buzzbait though. It can be fished over weedbeds and many other places. Daytime or at night.

It's not as versatile as some lures, but I'd rather catch 7 fish on a buzzbait, then 12 on any other bait ever made.

The explosion. The agressivness of the strike. The heart pounding exitement of the moment, when a big ole bass gets super ticked off, and slams a 3/4oz, all black buzzbait at dusk, is absolutely what fishing is all about to me.

Crush

fishing user avatarCyBasser reply : 

Hmmm,

I love topwater lures the most - sheer adrenaline!

I am very proficient in the use of crankbaits.

I probably catch the highest percentage of my bass on soft plastics.

But if I was only allowed one lure???

It would have to be a spinnerbait. Preferably 5/8oz, though either 1/2oz or 3/4oz would also be ok. Chartrause / white skirt. Rather small profile. Small colorado blade (gold) with larger willow blade (silver). It might not catch bass every single time for me, but this is such a versatile lure and can be worked / used in so many different ways / conditions, this would be my choice.......
