Hey all,
I was recently asked a simple question - if you could only have one lure ever, what'd it be? The question is so simple yet so difficult to answer. I replied with "I'll get back to you later on that one". I simply couldn't think of a single lure that I would want to fish. So I'll ask you guys - "if you could only have TWELVE baits to fish, what would they be?". Even then, it's pretty vague. List colors, sizes, how you'd rig them - everything. If you want to include a rod, go right ahead. Here's mine, in no particular order:
A red stickbait. I like the 4" Yamamoto Senko in red/red flake (good luck finding those), but they're hard to get now. I rig them with a 1/0 EWG hook, wacky rigged through the middle Rebel big ant. I need to have one of these in each color. Firetiger if I can't choose more than one, though. In case I want any panfish or small fish Baby kahara frog. One of these for a smaller frog lure in the chartreuse crawdad color Spro Bronzeye Frog 65. Camouflage, green black, outback, and white black are all good colors Berkley Havoc Scott Suggs' 4" Rocket Craw (Perfection green fleck) + 4x4 T-Roy's Signature Series Swim Jig (Goggle Eye, 3/8 oz) Zoom lizard 6" in Red shad, mossy pumpkin, or black red flake. I rig them with a 3/16 ounce bullet weight, clear bead, black crane swivel, 12 pound fluorocarbon leader, and 3/0 EWG hook Mann's Hardnose Snake. I'll get the 4-pack, with one of each color. The scarlet color is also good to get though. Rig them with a 6/0 Owner screw-lock for huge fish, or a 4/0 EWG for smaller ones Zoom Trick Worm. I couldn't have enough colors of these. I like weightless on a 2/0 EWG or a 3/0 Straight shank I feel like I need to include a hard bait, but they're not really my thing. I would throw in a Storm Arashi Squarebill in red craw, though Another frog, let's do the *** Lunker frog in texas toad or rocky toad One more frog, I have to do the Livetarget hollow body frog. I prefer emerald brown in 45T and/or 55T Let's throw in a Leland Lures Panfish Magnet Kit.
I still feel like I could have all this gear, and not catch a fish :| Well, let's hear yours!
