HYPOTHETICAL "One lure for the rest of your life"

JIG!!!!!!!!!

[Ghetto_Basser]

Blk/Blue Pig and Jig without a doubt. The spinnerbait though would be tough because

of it's versatility

Pretty good choice right there. 8-)

5 in senko, watermelon w/chartruese tail with a red 3/0 EWG hook.  It's always been my goto bait since day 1.

[BassFishingMachine]

4inch Cinnamon Senko is probably one of my best producers so I'd go with that.

Jig and Pig!!!    Green pumpkin. 8-)

This guy has got the right idea, except for me it would be a black/blue jig... 8-)

I'm with him...

[MALTESE FALCON]

It would be a toss-up between a #7 Shad Rap and a 3/8 oz. white double willowleaf spinnerbait.

TX Rigged 4" Prowler tube in Green Pumkin w/ tail dipped in chart dye.

On 3/0 EWG Gammy with 5/16 bullet weight.

[TournyFish001]

a green pumpkin red flake kamakazee hitzit tube 3.5" with a 1/8oz tube jighead rigged hook exposed should get a very close second (honorable mention) to my Chartruse Shad LV100!!!! Just one bait man that would be horrible :-/

Arguably, the two most universal lures are the tube and the jig. Warm weather, cold weather, it doesn't matter. Both baits can be fished shallow and deep; on structure or in cover; active or inactive fish...it just doesn't matter. These are the baits for "All Seasons" and "All Conditions."

Agreed!

If I was on an island stranded and needed to catch fish to survive, probably a jig or a senko. But for the sheer beauty and exitement of true bass fishing, there's absolutely nothing like a buzzbait or frog strike to make your day/night.

I think I'd have to chose a buzzbait though. It can be fished over weedbeds and many other places. Daytime or at night.

It's not as versatile as some lures, but I'd rather catch 7 fish on a buzzbait, then 12 on any other bait ever made.

The explosion. The agressivness of the strike. The heart pounding exitement of the moment, when a big ole bass gets super ticked off, and slams a 3/4oz, all black buzzbait at dusk, is absolutely what fishing is all about to me.

Hmmm,

I love topwater lures the most - sheer adrenaline!

I am very proficient in the use of crankbaits.

I probably catch the highest percentage of my bass on soft plastics.

But if I was only allowed one lure???

It would have to be a spinnerbait. Preferably 5/8oz, though either 1/2oz or 3/4oz would also be ok. Chartrause / white skirt. Rather small profile. Small colorado blade (gold) with larger willow blade (silver). It might not catch bass every single time for me, but this is such a versatile lure and can be worked / used in so many different ways / conditions, this would be my choice.......
