If you could bring one bait/lure with you fishing... 2024


fishing user avatarmlpauley reply : 

If you could bring just ONE bait/lure with you on a fishing trip what would it be?

Mine would probably be a blue fleck berkley powerworm


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

It would depend on the water, and the time of year.  All my fish this year have been on two baits: crankbait and suspending jerkbait.  It won't be like that in a month.


fishing user avatarbasser89 reply : 

A tube. The color would have to be determined my the water I'm fishing but I can catch bass on tubes in all 12 months of the year.  ;)


fishing user avatarPitchinkid reply : 

one lure for all seasons and all water temps for anywhere in the world?

Id have to say a spoon. I hate using them but every fresh and saltwater game fish can be caught on a spoon.


fishing user avatarSLO_ROLL reply : 

This one is so easy. WHITE ROOSTER TAIL. Catches all kinds of fish. Burn it, let it fall, slow roll it, stroke it. I got a good laugh when my cousin tied one then just murdered the smallies and everything else.


fishing user avatarumahunter reply : 

white zoom super fluke  ;)


fishing user avatarGeorge Welcome reply : 

Senko!

Exactly.  


fishing user avatarFisher of Men reply : 

I used to think this was an easy question, but. . .  :-/

It would have to be one of three:

Chrome rat-l-trap

White spinnerbait

Shad Zoom fluke

All can be fished at different depths, although the weedlessness of the fluke would win out over the other two.  


fishing user avataravid reply : 

Hmmmmmmmmmm...only one eh?

gotta be a watermelon senko

but if I could have just one more than add in a ratLtrap.

And a chug bug would be nice.

Of course I just love those big ole culprit worms, and how about a ..........................................nevermind.

fishing user avatarjigga318 reply : 

i would bring a jig you can fish it shallow or deep,drag it over pads like a frog, for largemouth or hop it along rockpiles for smallies. swim it like a spinnerbait. alround its the most versitle lure i throw


fishing user avatarCrestliner2008 reply : 

I'd have to go with the Senko I'm affraid. Will catch anything!


fishing user avatarDINK WHISPERER reply : 

8" Texas rigged Junebug worm. If they are a little lure shy i can pinch off 2" or so and still be good!  ;D


fishing user avatarTrippyJai reply : 

Green Pumpkin Senko. That's it. I am a believer.


fishing user avatarGeorgia Jeff reply : 

Black Zoom Trick Worm.  You can fish it weightless, weighted, wacky rigged.  I have caught more fish on a black trick worm than any other lure.  You know what they say, Once you go black you never go back! ;D


fishing user avatarSJex reply : 

Green Pumpkin Fat Ika.


fishing user avatarbasspimple reply : 

5/16 oz eakins jig in pb&j with matching eakins craw trailer.

fishing user avatarMaxximus Redneckus reply : 

beetle spin if i needed food a plastic worm if i was doin it for fun and only had one bait to use


fishing user avatarHammer 4 reply : 

Pumpkin Senco.. ;)


fishing user avatarCSB reply : 

Depends on the lake/season but probably a Senko or a Roboworm.


fishing user avatariceintheveins reply : 

If the water is fairly clear, it would be a 4" creme white senko rigged on a 1/0 EWG Gammy.


fishing user avatarBassnMan Mike reply : 

Yamamoto Spider Grub on a Football Head


fishing user avatarBlue Streak reply : 

If I could only use one bait anywhere anytime it would be a Kalin's or Chompers 3 to 5 inch curly tail grub on a jig head.

Read my mind. T-Rig or weightless it will catch fish shallow to deep,

Skip under docks, shimmy down into weeds, wacky rig where you might pitch a jig etc.


fishing user avatarbassin is addicting reply : 

yamamoto double tail hula grub in green pumpkin, black flake.

can fish it so many different ways.  weightless, t-rig, c-rig, jig it, swim it, bounce it off bottom, even could pinch tails off, fish it backwards like a grub if needed.


fishing user avatarbigfruits reply : 

smallies - 1/4 bitsy bug jig with 3" craw trailer

largemouth - 1/4 oz yamamoto arkie jighead with 4" double tail hula grub


fishing user avatarDock Master reply : 

    Texas-rigged Zoom Junebug Trickworm.  You can fish the whole water column with this bait .


fishing user avatarColtDewd reply : 

A 5" senko................ ;)

My choice too - love the versatility.

In a couple months- A green pumpkin or motor oil trick worm

fishing user avatarBallpark Frank reply : 

Usually I would say a T-rig 6" lizard, but not the past few weeks. My backup favorite has been doing the business though, a RI Sweet Beaver in Hematoma on a 1/4oz RI Screwed-Up jighead. I have caught decent fish every outing(at 6 different areas) on this rig.


fishing user avatar.dsaavedra. reply : 

7" red shad Hookup

or

Exactly.  So let's say I'm going tomorrow.  I'd grab one of my crankin' rods and a shad colored square bill crank (a custom flat crank I bought on ebay).  A jig or lizard would work well also, but I can burn water with the crank.


fishing user avatarPrimus reply : 

Yamamoto hula grub on a 1/4 oz jighead, swim it, hop it or drag it you will get bit. Those who want to get started fishing a jig should consider starting with this one, the fish rarely let it go.

Gene Larew 7 ½ Salty Ring Worm Cinnamon Pepper Neon/June Bug Laminated (Camouflage)
