what bait would you choose?

[bugg]

I was wondering if you had to choose only one lure to use, and that was it, live bait not included what would you choose?
I would use a Rapala. seems like that bait can do it all.
whats your choice?

ZARA!!! all the way, the baits (topwater/walkers) always work for me the Spooks,puppys,torpedo's,baby's all of them for bass or gill's they all seem to hit them. I've got a big colletion and varieties of them to use! STOCK UP IF YOU FIND THEM. Awsome baits. Ever have have them and want help using them PM me i got some tips for them for sure ;)

What are you fishing for ?????

[thornapplelkbanjopicker]

I guess it would depend on the situation. For sport fishing, I would have to go with the spinnerbait. If it was for survival and sustenance, I would have to choose the good ol' red n white daredevle.

[bugg]

it is a question asking if you could only use one lure, that is it for all types of fishing, you only get one choice forever what would you choose?

[FishFooler]

#14 Huskey jerk in the blue glass

[B&D]

Hopkins Spoons they will catch anything from 5 inch blue gills to 40 inch Northerns. It is my first choice for Walleye.

[ESOX]

Bunny Leech. Black w/red&yellow head.

#14 clown Husky Jerk if I had to use hardware.

[chamookman]

A leadhead jig. Will catch every specie of fish, from panfish to saltwater giants. Slow - fast, up high - on the bottom, unbeatable ! Bob.

:yeahthat:

[LittleMan]

A one inch yellow twister-tail. Ive caught everything from perch to bass on those.

[MisterTwister]

I would use a gulp synthetic worm! This is what the fish do when i throw one in the water:yikes: :corkysm55 :fish:

[Lance73]

1/32 oz. rooster tail

[Catchin Sumthin]

Give me a husky jerk ( love the versatility ) .

[PIKERPETE]

Dang good question,

I would have to say..Double blade spinnerbait.. it is my top shelf go to lure!

[bassinthepads]

Tough one here, my favorite is the Scum Frog, but for different varieties of fish in an endless amount of situations I would have to go with a watermellon tube. Have caught Largemouth, smallmouth, pike, crappie, perch,& one walleye on them.

[jigworm]

1/4 oz plain jighead with a 3" curly tail grub. White or watermelon. Jig it, swim it, crawl it and it works on any species.

[fishing addict]

I,would have to say I've caught more fish on a 1/3 oz Little Cleo spoon(orange/chrome) and second would 1/4oz same thing;than any other lure in my boxes.

But I enjoy working stick-bait's like Rapala,Bomber,or Storm,etc.

Still,alot has to be said for #2 or #3 RedBo Mepps Aglia(tubed).

And I've seen days when a Beetle-Spin caught everything in the water from Gills & Specs to Bass & Pike.

My most unusual catch would have to be the 6-7lb Carp,that chased down my 1/4oz little cleo,and ate it.It had all three barbs in it's mouth,so I know it wasn't a lucky snag.Plus it was in less than a foot of water,so I watched it go for it.

It would be a hard choice,but I think I would go with the spoon,if I only had one choice,as I can work it the most variety of ways.From wounded minnow to spinner(fast retrieve),to jig bouncing on the bottom.

[nitrojoe]

silver/black #14 husky jerk. the one i got looks like a rubbed it with rough sand paper for a while.

[dcclubs]

Have to start out with an in-line spinner bait. Caught a lot of different species with it.
Second would be a harness with a plastic worm.
Third would be ............. a jitterbug?

[garyrodbender]

F-9 Silver n Black Rapala...

[SRT]

Crawfish crankbaits for pike, bass, whatever

[len]

pink and white jig and white tail.

[Splicer]

does a 3\4oz weight below a tr count for a lure?? dont tell me none of you guys never did any force feeding? :yikes: :lol: i'am just kidding i would have to go with a in- line spinner can't beat it

[MIfishinGuy]

i agree with deputy about the zaras as a good bait. i cast one into trees on an island but it still dropped into the water and a 3 and a 1/2 lb largemouth grabbed it before i could even turn the motor to retrieve it. it was the zara spook in green looks sorta like a frog coloration.

but for my lifetime pick i would have to say a yellow mr twister grub or whatever you know what i'm talkin' about.:confused: it can catch almost anything that doesn't sit like a bump on a log:lol:

[gmalicoat]

Stick of dynamite

[DaveW731]

A 3/16 oz hi density weedless spoon (Johnson's or Rapala's) with a 1" white split-tail plastic trailer, w/ red tips.
Can be fished in open water, in heavy weeds, deep, shallow, slow and fast. Small enough for smallies, crappie and big trout. Large enough for pike or (if in saltwater) bluefish and seatrout.

[1fife]

rapala
probably silver char shad rap(maybe black silver)

[Southend517]

The Flying Lure.....
