Greatest lure ever...according to Ike

[DitchPanda]

Just watched a video last night in which Mike Iaconelli claimed a skirted jig is the best lure ever based on its versatility and ability to be fished all year under all conditions.

While I can't argue with his points...in fact he's probably right...I'd say the plastic worm and spinnerbait are up there.

What say you?

[TnRiver46]

What say me? Me say spinnerbait is stoopid 

[Deleted account]

Not sure I can name 1/2 a lure as the greatest...

[Mike L]

I’ll take a Texas or Fla rigged worm depending on cover every time.

Spinnerbait has to be up there.

[ajschn06]

Easily... fish it at any speed, anywhere in the water column, any season.  You wanna cast and reel- pick up a jig.  You wanna drag something slowly along the bottom- yup, Jig...

No further conversation necessary.

Spinnerbait and t rig plastic worm are up at the top too.

[Dens228]

I'd go with a jig too due to it's ability to be successful in most any conditions and time of year.

That being said I'm going out tomorrow and have a jig and a spinnerbait tied on. 

[li_bass_hunter]

A Texas rigged worm is the most versatile in my opinion 

[Cigarguy]

I'm a terrible fisherman so my best lure for when I want to eat fish is Costco.

Not sure if that's a compliment or insult

Well your opinion is spinnerbait =stoopid..so no offense but your out of your element Donnie!

[S Hovanec]

NEVER caught a fish on a skirted jig.  I can count on one hand how many fish I've caught on a spinner bait.

 

Over the years, a tube probably has been my most catchingist bait with various finesse worms dropshotted creeping up in second 

[GReb]

Is he talking a single bait or technique? Because if technique it’s a Texas rigged hook. Spinnerbait is the same. I have to change blades, weight, and color to maximize success throughout the year. Assuming he’s talking singular bait though. A black/blue or GP 3/16 ounce jig will catch fish coast to coast 12 months a year in pretty much every condition. Same could probably be said for a weightless senko but the jig does offer more versatility at depths and swimming through grass. 

[Catt]

What I been telling y'all ?

 

Statistically the #1 for quality & quantity is a Texas Rig & the Jig-n-Craw is #2.

 

You can argue either one as #1 & #2!

 

My question is why would you not want both tied on 24/7/365!

[jimmyjoe]

     I'm a shorecaster; it's a spinnerbait. More angles and more (different) depths at different speeds.              jj

Jig is definitely a close second but spinnerbait gets my nod. It can get that reaction bite the way a crank can deflecting off cover. It can go through almost anything. Can be fished at almost any depth and at any speed.

Maybe one day I will experience this. Maybe...........

[Bluebasser86]

I'd take a jig if I could only have 1 bait forever. 

[Luke Barnes]

Yeah I'm in the not a jig camp. I dont have a greatest of all time lure according to me, I dont have enough experience fishing yet. I see the texas rig as a technique and not a lure so that doesnt count for me. 

[Catt]

Ok spinnerbaits guys teach me your punching technique with a spinnerbait.

 

It's simple to research, pull up every tournament you can find both amateur & pro. Look in the results for lures used.

 

What you'll find is Texas Rigged plastics #1 & Jig-n-Craw #2. 

 

All the others combined can't touch em!

Show me what rig works best for punching through water?

 

There's a ton of water that doesn't have weeds that require punching.  I mean, not where you are, or really even where I am, but you know...  Enough that there are probably many anglers that never need to rig up a punch rig.  I'm not putting in my #1, but it deserves a mention in the top 5.
