That ONE LURE

[Derek1]

I would have to go with a t rigged rage craw in gp purple flake. Craws have alway got more attention for me. 

[whitwolf]

Jig with a spicy beaver trailer. 

[Bird]

Only 1 bait for every condition ?

Hate not being able to throw a Spinnerbait but have to say plastic worm.

Alright you son of a gun where can I get em? Taking your word for it because just sayin that is a pretty insignificant looking creature bait. But then again it has the same essential design as a z hog, which is a deadly bait

Gotta make 'em yourself. 3.5" Ultra Molds Sweet Craw. They have an awesome gliding fall when Trigged or used as a jig trailer. Convinced me last year that flapping appendages are WAAYYY overrated on a craw immitation. I burned through a couple hundred of 'em in 21 and had my best year ever.

 My ARK Tharp King Cobra has one mission in life. Pitch THIS bait into the nastiest cover I can find, and yank bass out of it.

Spinnerbait. I can work it slow on the bottom, like a jig with some flash, fast on top like a buzz bait, or anywhere in-between.  They are inexpensive, can catch multiple fish without re rigging or replacing, I can change or replace pieces, (skirt, or blades) and I rarely loose one to snags.

T Rigged Rage Bug

[Revival]

Dark Sleeper

Jerkbait. As long as I can fish it without it getting fouled up, I always feel like I can get bit on it. Even in super low visibility conditions.

Yeah! That would work, cut it up like a skirt, tie it to shank of the hook, 1/4 oz weight swim it through the water column.

 

Ya ever throw a Snagless Sally with a vinyl skirt?

 

Next ?

[WVU-SCPA]

Give me a 1/2 oz. lipless and I'll eventually snag a carp/shad/something in any body of water.

 

If it has to be in the mouth, a trd on 1/10oz or lighter.

[J Francho]

Deja Vu!

 

It's a popular subject.

 

 

[schplurg]

I forget, I will have to check the other threads to see what I said.

[LetMeSeeThatBass]

GY fat ika green pumpkin/black flake. I know I can catch at least 1 when I’m having a tough day 

[leinad]

1/16th ned rig with either a trd or gene lerew ned inch worm

[evo2s197]

Plastic worm for sure finesse specifically if I had a choice of one only, a lot of ways to fish one, next is a jig, but time and time again if you just need a bite of any kind a finesse worm in a natural color will get you one.

Agreed. Also why I still prefer the original sweet beaver.  

[optimator]

This topic comes up every year and overwhelming consensus is always the same; #1 soft plastic worm, #2 jig,

YES! In that order as well. Till' the end of days for me...

[Luke Barnes]

Max Scent general rigged weightless on a wacky rig. I could take it anywhere and have confidence. 

 

The other is 1" Gulp Minnows on a 1/64oz jighead under a small slip bobber. That has beat the skunk back more times than I remember.
