Insanity Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Blue chrome Rattling Rappala same as my profile pic. 3/8 th oz. Although I think a jig would be the best choice. I just prefer to crank. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted January 9, 2016 Super User Posted January 9, 2016 I wouldn't fish. My hobby would be totally different. It's pretty absurd to to think you can only use 1 bait forever. 1 Quote
alzun664 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 I'd go with a 1/2 oz dirty jigs bluegill swim jig with a zoom fat albert grub trailer in green pumpkin. You can throw it pretty much anywhere and work it from top to bottom. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted January 10, 2016 Super User Posted January 10, 2016 A 2" white grub with a chartruese jig and a spinner arm ,i can use just the jig or take off the grub and use live bait .im %100 positive id catch something worldwide everyday with my one lure. 1 Quote
PennBass Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Zoom super fluke in Watermelon Gold flake rigged weightless. Works all season in all conditions Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted January 10, 2016 Super User Posted January 10, 2016 Probably a 3/8 watermelon jig with some kind of green trailer. Have good luck fishing it around vegetation. Quote
RAMBLER Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I've looked at this posting several times and I could never think of a logical answer. Then, I finally realized there is no "logical" answer. I grew up having to be completely practical about what I did, so, to me the idea of only one lure would be in a matter of survival. For that I would use an 1/8 ounce white hair jig. If I were to be in a bass only contest of some kind where only one lure was allowed it would have to be a Zoom trick worm, watermelon/red, t-rig, weightless. It is what I have the most success with and I go through more of them than anything else. Quote
herbu Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Yamamoto 6.5" Cut Tail worm, weightless, watermelon w/ red & black flakes. Catch 'em all year w/ this. Plus it's an easy "old man" bait... cast, rest, twitch, rest, twitch, etc. 1 Quote
adam lancia Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Gotta be a 3/8 oz football jig with the option of various trailers. You'd be able to cover the entire water column and throw it on either spinning or casting gear too. Quote
jamey1e Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Without question a 5 inch Senko in baby bass rigged with a 4/0 EWG. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted January 10, 2016 Super User Posted January 10, 2016 I'm thinking either dynamite or an electrofishing rig. Is an Apache Longbow a valid answer? 2 Quote
aprilbass101 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Dirty Jigs Green Pumpkin Scott Canterbury Shakey Head with Strike King 3X Elaztech Finesse Worm Watermelon Red Flake! Money in the bank Quote
MusicCityAngler Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Berkley Powerbait 3 1/2 tube, punkinseed, rigged weedless. You can fish it at any depth, any speed. You can bounce it off the bottom, fish it like a jig or a swim bait, and use it in timber. It has been my "go to" bait for years. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted January 11, 2016 Super User Posted January 11, 2016 I would pick a zoom lizard. That way I can buzz it on top if needed to . 2 Quote
Jake the Cake Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 3" Powerbait Swim Shad - Shad color. simply because it's my most producing lure spring through fall and I'm incredibly comfortable fishing it. Plus it's got enough weight you can cast it a mile. 1 Quote
Derekbass02 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 If I had to use 1 lure it would probably be a 5 inch green pumpkin senko style bait 1 Quote
blckshirt98 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I like seeing the variety of responses here...lots of techniques that wouldn't be on on my top 10 list of confidence techniques that work well for other people. Gives me hope that the bottom line is bass are dumb as rocks and when they're hungry they'll bite anything lol 1 Quote
RB 77 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 If were talking just fresh water black bass then a 6" straight tail T-rigged plastic worm in Junebug. If were talking anything that swims a 4" boot-tail swimbait in a bait fish pattern would fit the bill just fine. Quote
IntroC Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 A 4" grub that is a translucent pearl with some light purple hues on a 1/4 mauve round ball jighead. At one point or another I have slaughtered smallies, largies, walleye and pike on this lure. Good all year round bait. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted January 12, 2016 Super User Posted January 12, 2016 For the last 18 years the answer would have been the Senko, Fat Ika, Gitzit and Kut Tail ... Today my answer is the Rage Tail Menace. Quote
