If you could only bring one lure to bring fishing with you, What are you bringing? 2024


fishing user avatarJay2017 reply : 

Edit: this isn't a survival situation. This is for sport fishing for bass.

the goal is to catch as many bass as you can and you only can bring one lure.


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

I wouldn't bother fishing anymore.


fishing user avatarethan-333 reply : 

senko

Yeajray231, your thread makes it seem like one lure in a survival situation (stranded)

 

if i could only use one lure for sport fishing its easily a jig and plastic craw trailer. id go with inline spinner in a survival situation.

Mine wouldn't change lol. 

 

The in line spinner has personally caught me bass, pike, channel cat, bluegill, crappie.. if that isn't sport fishing idk what is ! 


fishing user avatarMickD reply : 

If fishing for fish bigger than panfish, it would be  a bullet head jig with a 4 inch paddle tail swim bait.  Color will depend on where I'm stranded.

i didnt realize you posted inline spinner in your thread. :)

 

i enjoy fishing with plastics more than i do with moving baits. sometimes i wont put the jig rod down when i know i should have a long time ago.

 

a senko would be a great survival bait if you only needed one fish. boring as hell to fish though! i use it as a follow up bait mostly these days.

MickD - that paddletail is going to rip after a few fish! then you have to resort to taking out seagulls with rocks. a homeless gentleman in san diego once told me that seagulls taste like crap.


fishing user avatarjimf reply : 

7.5" Culprit black shad plastic worm fishing for fun.    I'd bring a #4 fly rod and fish a size 12 Wooly Bugger if fishing for survival - catch bluegill all day with that.

Love those black shad Culprits but I'd have to go with GY senko.


fishing user avatarRobert Riley reply : 

Either a homemade black and blue or black and chartreuse jig.

My bad for not clarifying but this isn't a survival situation. This is for sport fishing for bass. The goal is to catch as many fish as you can and you can only bring one lure.


fishing user avatarWildmanWilson reply : 

Probably a jig. 


fishing user avatarNscheele reply : 

I suppose it depends on  the body of water, but the in line spinner has always been good to me. 


fishing user avatargimruis reply : 

Definitely not a soft plastic of any kind because of the durability issue.  Probably a hard lure with treble hooks like a shallow running crank bait.


fishing user avatarBigShew2 reply : 

I'm with gimruis, a 6 or 7A bomber or 7 shad rap. if I could bring a whole bag of soft plastics it would probably be some Zoom U tails since i could texas/carolina rig or easily put on a shakey head.

No, the paddletails I use last forever.


fishing user avatarBassguytom reply : 

To catch as many fish as I can I'd bring a neg rig with a TRD.

This.  I catch a lot of fish on a 4 inch swiming dinger rigged this way.


fishing user avatarDarren. reply : 

Not survival, and for bass: a real GYCB Senko


fishing user avatarMrTightLInes reply : 

Wacky rigged Senko... easy choice for me. Gary Yamamoto


fishing user avatarRMax reply : 

Inline spinner or little crankbait.


fishing user avatarMosster47 reply : 

6" Robo.

 

There used to never be a second thought about this question until that Ned rig came along. Now I have to think about it...


fishing user avatarRoLo reply : 

T-rigged 6" black straight-tail worm


fishing user avatarOutdoor Zack reply : 

Finesse worms, 4 3/4"

 

or a squarebill


fishing user avatarPatrickKnight reply : 

4 inch green pumpkin curly tail grub.


fishing user avatarSwishpda reply : 

Shakey Head Trick Worm


fishing user avatarBassWhole! reply : 

I hate these hypotheticals, but oh well,

if im bass fishing, a swim jig. If I'm trying to catch whatever will bite, an inline spinner.


fishing user avatarA5BLASTER reply : 

Black and red flake ribbit frog tied to 60 pound power pro with a 5 size double hook.

 

Good for bass, bowfin,gar, and gators.


fishing user avatarAC870 reply : 

Squarebill or chrome 'Trap. 


fishing user avatarcrypt reply : 

manns baby 1- chrome or gold.


fishing user avatarRohan Lupin reply : 

Senko hands down. 


fishing user avatarMike L reply : 

Rage Bug

fishing user avatarHeavyDluxe reply : 

I'll play along... If a 3/8oz jig and trailer can count as one bait, I'll take that.  If not, I'd probably take a soft plastic stickbait or semi-solid tube (like the Fat Ika).

 

I think all of those lend themselves to a variety of techniques (bouncing, stroking, swimming, etc etc) and are capable of consistently producing fish.

OK I would normally take a Grape 6" Mann's Jelly Worm 3/16 oz black tungsten worm/bullet weight and a 3/0 worm hook texas rigged or what RoLo is fishing. B)

But since I can only bring one lure the worm would eventually need replaced. So I have to go to a siebertoutdoors 3/8 oz. Dredge Brush Jig in Bluegill color. They are so good I don't have to have a trailer. :D

fishing user avatarjdz197 reply : 

Lime green Zoom trick worm.


fishing user avatarPreytorien reply : 

Definitely a Ned Rig


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

If I am just going after numbers, I would bring a shad colored crankbait.


fishing user avatarQUAKEnSHAKE reply : 

Quite a number of times Ive set out for a morning of fishing with just one lure one rod/reel. One time it was just a Fat Ika another jigncraw another senko another pond magic spinnerbait. Or if Im trying out a new lure thats all Ill take for a few outings. Like when I first tried Keitech paddle tails thats all I use for like 3-4 days.


fishing user avatarJDNKC reply : 

This time of year.  Vision 110 jerkbait.


fishing user avatarYakalong reply : 

Senko 


fishing user avataribobpeb reply : 

Minnows/baitfish style lure so I'd bring super fluke jr. 

 

Can fish it weightless, topwater, dropshot, jighead, underspin, etc.


fishing user avatarblckshirt98 reply : 

Anything 3.5-4.5" in green, on a dropshot, and it's on for numbers.


fishing user avatarMDbassin reply : 

Black and blue jig all day everyday
