Only 3 Baits Allowed 2024


fishing user avatarDaddyodo reply : 

I want to start out by saying I love this websight. :respect-059: You guys are amazing with your "knowledge of all things Bass." I cannot tell you how much I have learned in the last year. Wish I had more time to put that knowledge to use, hopefully in the near future. Now here is why I am posting.Lets say you are in a league and for one year you are only allowed to fish 3 lures, what, would they be. Type and color please.

Looking forward to reading your answers. :fishing1:

fishing user avatar5dollarsplash reply : 

White/green senko

Chartreuse frog

Black/purple/blue jig with junebug trailer


fishing user avatarcast_and_destroy reply : 

1. 5 in senko (watermelon)

2. strike king 1.5 squarebill ccrankbait ( color is a tough choice , either sexy shad or chartreuse black back )

3. strike king premier plus spinnerbait ( colorado/willow ) in either bluegill or sexy shad .

color depends on water clarity.


fishing user avatarpapajoe222 reply : 

1- white Terminator 3/8oz. jig tipped with a Kalin's Salty grub

2- Bandit 200 series crank Rootbeer

3- Zara SuperSpook Jr. Bone

I could cover the whole water column with confidence with these three and I almost always have them tied on though maybe in different colors


fishing user avatarriskkid 2 reply : 

1- Jig w/craw trailer (Alabama Craw)

2- Carolina Rig w/green pumpkin lizard, brush hog or big worm

3- Squarebill Crankbait (citrus or sexy shad)

This is way too limiting due to different times of year.....IMHO the jig and/or a shakey head are probably the most versatile for all seasons.


fishing user avatarPepul reply : 

Grandebass Rattlesnake watermelon chartreuse

4" senko watermelon chartreuse tip

Storm wildeye curltail minnow shad color


fishing user avatarBradH reply : 

1. 3/4 ounce spinnerbait with chartruse/white skirt & chartruse/brass willowleaf blades

fishing user avatartritonguy reply : 

1) Green pumpkin baby Brush Hog

2) White 3/8 oz spinnerbait

3) 3/16 shakey head with a 4" straight worm

I'd rather narrow it to the top 7-10 but I could catch fish on any body of water with these 3.

fishing user avatarJake P reply : 

Jig and rage craw in green pumpkin or some variation.

1/2 oz red eye Shad bleeding bait it Tennessee Shad.

If I'm going for numbers though I would probably eliminate the red eye Shad and add a smoke pearl with purple flake 5” Senko wacky rigged.

fishing user avatarThe Rooster reply : 

I feel so limited by this question.

I think for me It would be:

1/2 oz. football jig with Netbait baby paca craw trailer, green pumpkin colors

100 series Bandit crank bait in taco salad color

1/4 oz. white Roostertail with silver blade

Did anybody else feel like you were being forced to do something against your will in order to choose the three you did?? It felt to me like I had to force the answer to pick my final three. So many greats that I left out. I think these would be more of what I'd choose to go onto a desert island and have to survive for a year instead. Thats the only way I'd ever choose only those three.

Haha man it is tough to narrow it down to three, I mostly fish light tackle in rivers for bartrams/ redeye and these have been pretty consistent the last two summers. The yum dinger and trick worm almost make the cut


fishing user avatarHogsticker reply :
