If you could have only one. Not type or brand, but one color, size, scent, brand, shape.
I really had to think on this one. After I posted this I went out bought more plastics "Dicks had a sale" . I am caught between a big bite baits scented creature bait or a 6 inch curly tailed worm from zoom also scented.
Toss up between a 5" watermelon/black flake YCB Senko, and a green pumpkin Rage Tail Baby Craw. This year it's been all about the baby craw.
Trickworm.
I wouldn't fish.
I like fishing because you have many options for almost everything you do, diversification.
Rage craw in wtml/red
Ribbon tail worm
Green Pumpkin Rage Craw.
3 inch yum wooly hawgtail in black and blue
Black 6 inch lizarrd can be modified a lot of ways top too bottom
White Trick worm. It can be rigged many different ways, fished fast or slow, and works in just about any water color.
Rage chunk/craw in "falcon lake"
Bama Craw colored Rage Tail Bug
Senko. Can be cut and rigged a variety of ways.
A fluke. Catch any predatory fish in any body of water. Can be fished weedless, nose hooked or on a jig head, nearly the entire water column can be covered, nothing is more versatile for me. I like pearl with a red tail.
I would hate having to pick one, or 20, but all around, can do anything with this soft bait-flip-c-rig-dropshot-power shot, weightless...we all get it...I think I would cheat as I would hate not having some black Trick worms in my pocket or 6" black senkos with me, but overall, I would have to go......
Yum Houdini Shad 5" Fluke in Smoke with purple/Red flake and I could then modify the tail to have a full paddle tail swimming fluke, swim worm as it is thin, could buzz it on surface, cut hole in tail to cause it to fall like a tube so good for flipping, could then also fork the tail and use it like the zoom flukes as finesse or anything.....
I can flip this under a 1 ounce sinker and its not hanging up, carolina rig it, wacky rig it and even though I reach for a zoom swimming fluke first, or forked tail I would go houdini shad....
or Sluggo 6" Motor Oil Green, kind of same deal.....I would hide some small squrimin worms with me, ribbon tails, and some 5" grubs, and while cheating may as well grab some beavers, and then grab some Rage Tail stuff and just dump lobsters, eels, rodents, recons, cutr, ochos, and dream shots, and antything else that smells like starbucks. does Coffee really help or is that just to create curiousity so fish pick it up kind of like Garlic and Anise....I think they like it and they actually swallow the swimbaits and grubs.
5" Senko, #297, with a dab of Megastrike.
Flukes buddy
fish them as a fluke jerkbait
fish them like a shad swimbait
fish them like a worm
drop shot em
carolinarig em
thats pretty versatile
I fish a lot of creature baits with the Sweet Beaver being my favorite. I've been using the Rage Tail Space Monkey here lately and really, really like it.
I'm going to go away from all the new fangled gizmotron whatzits and just stick with the old standby:
Black neon 4" tube.
If you can't catch a bass on that there is something wrong with you.
Mine would be a lizard in watermelon red.
No brainer......
The orginal 6" black creme worm.
We caught more bass with this split shot rig than any other bait. It's still a number 1 bait.
pit boss in dark green pumpkin
Watermelon Candy Baby Brush Hog
If I could only have one, I probably wouldnt tell anyone what it was
5 inch Senko. Any dark color (Dark Pumpkin Amber Laminate is my favorite)
Fluke... hands down
Green pumpkin magic 5 inch senko
10" Ribbon tail worm
Okeechobee craw sticko

So far this year it has been a watermelon super fluke.
Trick Worm. Watermelon Candy
So versatile. CRig, Wacky, Shakey Head, Drop Shot, Swinging Football Head, Weightless TRigged, Lightwire jighead, Texas Rig.
This is a tough one but I'd have to go with a stick bait of some sort. Just a very versatile fish catcher.
Good ol' clasic watermelon no flk yama senko t-rigged
Probably whatever was working the most recent time out before I was forced to decide. I'm pretty fickle when it comes to bass lures.
At the moment, it would easily be watermelon Rage Tail Cut-R. Has outperformed everything else in my boat this year...by a pretty wide margin. Three of my four biggest fish this year and solid numbers, as well.
5 inch Senko Color 912 (Green Pumpkin w/Black & Watermelon w/Black Laminate)

Berkley 4" Chiggar Craw in Watermelon. This lure has a dedicated rod and reel for it on my boat and if there are any weeds around, this outfit gets the call.
Chigger Craw or Crazy legs Chigger Craw in Green, Blue or Black (depending on water and sky) gets my vote.
junebug skinny dipper
a 6" or 7" curly tail worm in a motor oil or watermelon color with gold or red metal flakes.

That's a slam dunk. Baitfish are always darker on top and lighter on the belly.
That would work virtually everywhere.
5 in senko wtrmln blk flk.
4" Senko green pumpkin (at least on my body of water)
Zoom trick worm
