If you only had 1 lure to use... 2024


fishing user avatarTroutfisher reply : 

Which one would it be?  If you could only use one lure all day long, which lure?  There are so many choices and opportunities for different lures, so choose wisely.

My choice?  A medium sized black and silver rapala.  It is versatile and can be used in almost any situation.   8-)


fishing user avatarjrhennecke reply : 

Probably a YUM Dinger.  It can be rigged and fished enough different ways to make it versitile.


fishing user avatardjmax22 reply : 

Jig. I can catch fish all year around under just about any condition.


fishing user avatarGrey Wolf reply : 

Spinner-bait.


fishing user avatarohiobassmaster93 reply : 

senko all the way...one of the most versital baits


fishing user avatarBassinBoy reply : 

Id probobly use a tube.  You can fish it slow or fast, deep or shallow, weeds or open water, its a tube.


fishing user avatardumb_dog11 reply : 

search the forum, its been asked a hundred times

for me its a finesse worm


fishing user avatarbrgbassmaster reply : 

Jig is my main lure all the time.


fishing user avatarBillyBob reply : 

On any day,... in any lake,... a black and blue 1/2 ounce football jig, with a light blue craw trailer. Theres better for any condition but none as good for all conditions!  


fishing user avatarJohn J. reply : 

I would use a spinner-bait. You can helicopter it, hop it, swim it deep, shallow, wake it or buzz it! You can use natural colors in clear water and bright colors in murky water. You can fish it fast or slow roll it.


fishing user avatarMicro reply : 

6" Culprit worm in black and chartreuse.


fishing user avatar.dsaavedra. reply : 

a silver rapala DT-06.  8-)

( you coulda seen that coming)


fishing user avatarFish Chris reply : 

Huddleston trout ROF #12, in regular, or holdover trout pattern is all I need, for most of my bass fishing. The exception to that being Spring sightfishing, where I might use a Huddlebug, or a 6" Hud, or a Basstrix Bluegill.

Peace,

Fish

If I could only have one, I would have to have a 5in Black with Blue Flake Senko with a 4/0 EWG hook.


fishing user avatarVyron reply : 

3/8oz chart white tandem spinnerbait


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

Studies have proven that the plastic worm is the only lure made that a BASS CANNOT REMEMBER!

So why would I not want to fish #1  :)

fishing user avatarXbassmasterX reply : 

Jigs can be fished in any time of the year or water condtions and for many different times of fish and is very versital baits  aslo many different approches and could be very specific or general purposes ;D


fishing user avatarBig-O reply : 

Hey Troutfisher, I tend to agree with Maltese. You have posed a really tuff question. If I only had one bait and I haven't connected with the fish, my brain would fry thinking about all of the other baits and techniques that have proven themselves and that might work in any given water that I am covering. At my age thats not healthy, I might have a nervous breakdown or something. Now you wouldn't want that to happen to one of us now would you? I think an interesting question might be phrased " In _____ lake, during the ____ of the year, with water temp being _____, with a wind speed of approx ____and from ____ direction,  in ____ type of cover, and _____ clouds and weather conditions, in _____ depth of water and you have already worked ______ , _____, _____, _____ and _____ types of baits without much success, what would be your last resort bait to bank on or finish up the day provided your fishing day ends up at ____ o'clock? Now, some of us can make a decision without getting too ancy. LOL Really I have favorites in each different condition so hard to choose. Good Fishin


fishing user avatarLavrax reply : 

My only choice would have been a rapala husky jerk clown color, any conditions..including saltwater  :)

fishing user avatarFR0G reply : 

Either a 6 inch senko, or a 3/8 jig.

+1 - I've become a reel swimbait wh@&e lately.


fishing user avatarPond Hopper reply : 

I would have to say a 3/8 oz jig with an *** trailer, the only problem I have with it is when the vegetation starts to grow up in the summer and fishing a jig gets tough.


fishing user avatarJeff H reply : 

7" Blue Fleck or Junebug Powerworm.
