Is there any "All Condition" or "Universal" lure? 2024
ElbeNotRiver reply :
Guys, I need opinions from you, the most experienced and professional bass fishing sportsmen in the Earth!
The thing is, recently in a Chinese fishing forum, a dude coaches me that "There is an universal lure(not only for bass) but I wont tell you what it is, if u have no idea what it is, u r the noob." He was so confident and proud although every single bass he got was from high density bass farm(b/c China does not have native black bass u know). In my opinion, choosing the lure according to various conditions should be a common sense right?
What do u guys think? Is an universal lure that ppl can use in every conditions exists?
Lots of thanks!

plastic worm having maximum active and catches bass in each cast .
bagofdonuts reply :
a jig. its hard to think of a situation where it just wouldn't work. might not always be the best choice for all situations, but it'll probably work. I always have one tied on in the boat, can't say that about any other technique.
roadwarrior reply :
Jigs and plastic worms are universal. Bass never "get use" to them.
Spankey reply :
I would think condition would dictate what that lure might be. I would think there would still be a difference of opinions regardless of skill and experience level. I’m no professional and never professed to be.
Tell us what the lure is, what’s the big deal.
3” grub

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resouce ~
I have never fished a high-density farm pond in China however, it has been my experience, that while there are a few lures that are very versatile, none work all the time on every lake & for every species.
btw isn't there a bait money in China ?

Weightless Worn. NEXT!

Like @A-Jay said there really isn't one lure that will always work and catch fish. You are going to have to change it up depending on the conditions. With this said, I do feel like the plastic worm is the MOST universal lure.
Welcome to the forum though!
fin reply :
Flukes are pretty versatile, but I wouldn't say they catch fish in every situation. You can fish a fluke topwater, on the bottom or in the middle. There aren't many other baits you can do that with.
FCPhil reply :
There is no lure that is the best in every all conditions. Otherwise it is the only lure people would use. Every lure works somewhat in any conditions, some being more adaptable than others. Weightless worms and jerkbaits work well in a lot of situations. I think this guy your talking to is missing the mark.

Stick bait worm, jig, 3 inch Swim bait
Here in California, where we don't see a hard winter.
OCdockskipper reply :
Helicopter Lure, although it must be used with a Popeil Pocket Fisherman for maximum efficiency.
NYWayfarer reply :
A stick worm type bait (Senko, Dinger, Shim E Stick, Stik-O, etc.) I would say is universal.
Russ E reply :
If you ask a Midwest finesse fisherman, some variation of the Ned Rig, works for every situation.
there are several local fishermen that use nothing else.
If you want to catch numbers, it is a hard bait to beat.
I personally only use it when the fish are not biting.
While it will attract big fish, there are often better baits for that.
RSmall reply :
I have the best luck around here with a 5" red shad colored Yum Dinger but I'd hardly call it "universal".

Hello Zhiyuan Shi,
I have fished stock ponds throughout China and have never seen a consistent artificial bait thrown. If I had to pick the top one I have seen it will be a standard grub on a jighead.
Here in the states in my opinion a fluke can be used in every water body and across multiple fish species both salt and fresh.
By the way...which China fishing forum are you on?

scaleface reply :
All right I'll get serious here . The closest thing to a universal lure that catches all species of game fish would be a jig . From tiny panfish jigs to large saltt water jigs they catch about everything that swims .

Bankbeater reply :
Either a jig or a 6” plastic worm.
J.Vincent reply :
These folks have clearly never fished frozen water : ) when the only thing you can get bit on is a wax worm. Fact is there is no universal lure for Bass, which will work under every situation. There are categories of lures that may be productive in every season , including Jigs or Plastics , but just to say a lure category is universal doesn’t mean that it will universally be the primary pattern; so I try to focus on what works best in relation to the season and conditions.
Bassguytom reply :
The inline spinner is pretty universal for fresh water fish. Why do I feel like someone is going to sell me the best darn universal fishing lure ever to be created here or in China soon! Fine I’ll take 3! Darn! I just did it again!

Yes
primetime reply :
I would say a plastic worm or a grub will catch fish anywhere and can be fished in any condition. Really any softbait can be all purpose...I guess maybe the Senko could be perfect for just about anywhere? I would never go fishing without a stick worm....

Jig. Allows you to fish any type of cover effectively. Works in freezing cold or warm water. Can mimic crawfish, baitsfish, etc.

The guy from China is just messing with you. I call BS.
Catt reply :
If we were to pick the plastic worm, which one?
Straight tail, curl tail, ribbon tail, or stick worm?
I would probably pick a single technique & the would be a Texas Rig with with various plastics.

Picking your brain a little here...if you had to pick one retrieve with a T-Rig?

This person is very lucky to be able to fish a fish farm pond. Ekk-Will Farms (tropical fish farm) in in Florida had a catfish pond. You could catch one on just about every cast with whatever lure. Fun at first, but gets boring quick. I learned nothing of value, or about any secret lures that made me an expert. Ignore this dude that claims to hold the holy grail secret of fishing.
standman reply :
Already mentioned - inline spinner.

Mobasser reply :
If I were to pick one lure for bass it's a Texas rigged plastic worm. For a universal catch all lure- a 1/8 oz marabou jig.

Whenever I try to tell people this, they call me crazy. If it's not a challenge, it's not fun. Except for the first 10 or 20.

One retrieve?
The versatility of a Texas Rig is it can fished on top, at mid-depth, & on the bottom using multiple retrieves.
Koz reply :
Universal? No. But if for some reason I was limited to fishing one bait only for the rest of my life I'd choose a Senko because of its versatility.
Choporoz reply :
If I were forced to just use a single lure for a period, I'd probably choose a Rage Tail Cut R. It can be a bottom worm, a swim bait, a topwater (if fast and weightless) or a falling bait.

Excellent choice, I do really good with that worm just pitchin around wood.

x2 if I could only ever fish one bait all year long (as long as I could have free range in terminal tackle choice) I'd go fluke probably. You can fish it fast on top liker a top-water, middle of the water like jerkbait, on bottom in countless ways.
RyneB reply :
tube. Can throw it weightless like a topwater, punch it, texas rig, jig trailer, insert a jig head, drop shot, shakey head, Ned rig, Neko rig, Carolina rig, a stupid rigged. I'm sure I'm missing some more.
