Most of us take a lot of baits with us for bass fishing, usually, many more than we use on an average fishing trip. We always want to be prepared for any scenario. Have you ever known a bass fisherman who fished one type of bait exclusively? I knew one years ago. I belonged to a bass club, and became friends with an older guy, Frank, who used nothing but plastic worms. Various sizes from 4" to 10", rigged different ways. T- rig, weightless, split shot, or on his own version of a shakey head, before shakey heads became a big thing. His catch rates were impressive, and I saw him place in the top three in club tournaments many times. He had fished for many years, and tried most all other bass baits on the market, some with success, some not. He had the utmost confidence in his bait of choice. It would be hard for me to limit myself to only one type of bass bait. I like having at least a few different choices. But, maybe we over think much of this? Maybe we should be driven by confidence first.That was Frank's simple concept, and it worked surprisingly well for him. Fish the one that works most often, and keep it simple. Many trophy bass hunters, who specialize in targeting big bass, have relied on one bait to target the biggest bass, focusing on seasonal patterns, location, and presentation to catch the biggest fish. Have you ever known a one lure bass fisherman? I tend to think there's not many around anymore.
