Bartableman7 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Pick the lure you have to use forever if you only get one. Color, size and why. Me: Black Neon Hula Grub on a 1/2 oz football jig head, no weed guard. I can pitch it, drag it, swim it and burn it like a top water. I fish it at night and day. More bass, northerns and walleye than any other lure for me. Quote
EricTheAngler Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 A texas rigged black zoom worm. The first lure I caught stuff and keep catching stuff on. 5 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted January 8, 2016 Super User Posted January 8, 2016 1/2-ZinkerZ green pumpkin on a 1/16-oz. Gopher or 1/15-oz. ShroomZ jig head (chartreuse) - because I really enjoy catching lots of fish Quote
Turtle135 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 1/4 ounce Dirty Jigs Swim Jig (Black & Blue) with a Netbait Baby Paca Craw (Black Blue Flk) trailer It can be fished as a swim jig (fish it just like a spinnerbait) or fished on the bottom as a traditional jig & craw presentation. Works in water temperatures from the 90's down to the high 30's. 2 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted January 8, 2016 Super User Posted January 8, 2016 Pointer 128 in chartreuse shad. One ounce bait. Big enough to catch both quality largemouth & smallmouth. It also will put the hurt on walleye, pike & skis plus a few steelhead, brown trout & lake trout. 2 Quote
_garrett_ Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 A watermelon finesse worm (zoom) with a 1/4 oz stand up shaky head. 2 Quote
smallieking Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 1/2 green pumpkin casting jig with rage menace trailer. Catches fish every where and can be fished anywhere Quote
Super User senile1 Posted January 8, 2016 Super User Posted January 8, 2016 Let me go back to the previous threads on this subject so I can make sure I give the same answer. Seriously, though, a jig is always my choice. However, you are asking me to narrow it down to a specific color and type of jig. That's a bit more precise. Since I can't have all of the jig heads that I prefer, I guess I would go with a green pumpkin half ounce arky head, to split the difference, with a green pumpkin RageTail DB Craw trailer and a Siebert's grasshopper skirt. It would be nice to have a black-blue jig and trailer along as well though if you would let me cheat a little. 3 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted January 8, 2016 Super User Posted January 8, 2016 1/8 oz panther martin spinner black/yellow dots and gold blade. will catch everything i would want to target. 2 Quote

Super User Darren. Posted January 8, 2016 Super User Posted January 8, 2016 Would have to be a 4" Senko, probably watermelon magic on a 1/0 Gammy splitshot/drop shot hook. That's today's "forever", LOL. 2 Quote
blckshirt98 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Watermelon Gold Shad Molix Sator Worm on a drop shot. Bass, trout, crappie, bluegill, they all bite that sucker. Quote
corn-on-the-rob Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 3'' Green Pumpkin Grub on a smaller weedless head. Anytime, anything, anywhere, any presenation. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted January 8, 2016 Super User Posted January 8, 2016 One lure, one color, one size, and fish forever?.......what am I going to do with the other 25 rods? 5 Quote
Big C Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Where's JFrancho saying he would switch hobbies before using only one lure? Mine's the same every time, black frog (probably a R2S Spittin' Wa) with a Lake Fork trailer hook. Not the most versatile, but the most fun for me. Quote
Jaderose Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 One and one only? 9" Culprit Fat Max T-rigged on a swinghead jig. Can I have more than one color? and some Megastrike? If so...I'm good 1 Quote
Rich in Co Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 black & blue jig with trailer about 1/2oz i can make do with that Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted January 9, 2016 Super User Posted January 9, 2016 Every year this subject comes up and I wished I booked marked them, I know I have a different answer for the 5 or 6 years I've been answering this: I've caught 12 different species with a lipless crank which includes saltwater. To me a lipless crank is the most versatile bait out there. As for a freshwater bass fishing site and thread, here's my lure of choice. Quote
tander Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 I would have to say a 1/2 oz. spinnerbait, single gold blade with chart./white skirt but it's hard not to say the Ned Rig in Junebug. Quote
pwahmy Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 3/8 ounce swim jig head, in a bluegill brown pattern, rage craw trailer. -Payton Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 9, 2016 Global Moderator Posted January 9, 2016 If we're just talking bass, 1/2oz black brush jig with a sapphire blue trailer. If it's one bait for every kind of fish 3" Berkley twitchtail minnow in Smelt color on a 3/32 oz mushroom head. 1 Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted January 9, 2016 Super User Posted January 9, 2016 I'll answer for today as the variables are ever-changing. Today: I'd go with a Siebert Outdoors brush jig(1/4 oz.) In Bluegill with a Reaction Innovations smallie beaver(fried watermelon) Trailer. It's weedless, can be presented several different ways, and my confidence level Is through the roof. Quote
