ratherbfishin1 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 If you could only have one lure/plastic for the rest of your life but you had unlimited of it what would you choose? Be specific like colors and stuff. Mine would probably be a spro topwater frog in the bullfrog color even though i can't really fish it year round the blowups on it are amazing. Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted February 16, 2018 Super User Posted February 16, 2018 No contest. A 5" Senko in color 297 (Green Pumpkin/Black Fleck). I have caught bass in every type of water from tannic in Florida to crystal clear in Wisconsin and Michigan and stained on the Potomac. I wrote an article for Yamamoto years ago and I came up with 78 ways to rig this bait. I never hit the water without it. Anywhere. 4 Quote
Way north bass guy Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 This guy right here. I use a lot of different baits all season and there’s others I’d likely get more fish on in some instances but I’ve caught more big smallies and largies on this ( or something very similar) over the years than on anything else. Also, I just love that monster thump when a huge smallmouth absolutely hammers it and near takes the rod out of my hands. Fun stuff right there. 2 Quote

I have to agree with @TOXIC on this one - though I don't exactly like fishing a stick bait. And @Darren. Don't even start . . . . A-Jay Just now, Catt said: Is it that time of the year again? ?

Dorado Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 ^ this was almost mine, exact same color, but in a 4". Since I'm a multi-species guy, 3" Berkley Powerbait Power Grub in Pumpkin Seed or White. I can't pick one color over the other since one resembles a craw color and the other ties to shad. This grub on a jig has personally landed me smallies, bucketmouths, walleyes, saugeyes, channel cats, crappie, bluegill, rainbow trout, and white bass. It's so versatile within the water column. One can effectively work it as a search bait for suspended fish to or a slower, jigging presentation off riprap areas. The spectrum is so wide. Honorable mention: 2.5 " Black Shad Gulp! Alive! Minnow on a chartreuse Roadrunner. 1 Quote
Dtrombly Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I want to say frog because that's far and away my favorite way to fish. But I live in Ohio and would like to fish all year, lol. I'd have to say Senko out of pure versatility. There's tons of ways I can present a senko to a bass Edit: color would probably be green pumpkin 1 Quote

ohboyitsrobby Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I'd probably have to go with a watermelon red baby brush hog. Extremely versatile and a proven slayer in my neck of the woods. I suppose if it came to it I could burn it on top like a frog(ish) to feed my topwater fetish lol 1 Quote

Super User MassYak85 Posted February 17, 2018 Super User Posted February 17, 2018 I'd definitely have to go with my pink drop shot rigged deps 250, it's killer year around. Rig it with a 5lb weight and you can smash it straight through ice in the winter, or punch with it in the summer. Go with a 1lb weight for a more finesse approach. 4 Quote
