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.
I wouldn't bother fishing anymore.
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 !
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.
Dynamite.

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.
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.
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.
Probably a jig.
I suppose it depends on the body of water, but the in line spinner has always been good to me.
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.
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.
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.
Not survival, and for bass: a real GYCB Senko
Wacky rigged Senko... easy choice for me. Gary Yamamoto
Inline spinner or little crankbait.
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...
T-rigged 6" black straight-tail worm
Finesse worms, 4 3/4"
or a squarebill
4 inch green pumpkin curly tail grub.
Shakey Head Trick Worm
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.
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.
Squarebill or chrome 'Trap.
manns baby 1- chrome or gold.
Senko hands down.
Rage Bug
Mike
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.

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.
Green pumpkin red flake finesse tube.
Lime green Zoom trick worm.
Definitely a Ned Rig
If I am just going after numbers, I would bring a shad colored crankbait.
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.
This time of year. Vision 110 jerkbait.
Senko
Minnows/baitfish style lure so I'd bring super fluke jr.
Can fish it weightless, topwater, dropshot, jighead, underspin, etc.
Anything 3.5-4.5" in green, on a dropshot, and it's on for numbers.
Black and blue jig all day everyday
