The Ultimate Fishing Lure

thedarkarcher · 10-20-2008, 02:57 PM

If forced to be armed with only one lure for all of your fishing, which would you choose? A spinnerbait, bucktail jig, plastic? It would need to be something a variety of fish would take in a variety of situations....what say you?

H2only · 10-20-2008, 03:01 PM

2 inch white power grub, I catch something on these every time I go out. Everything from bluegill, crappie, bass, catfish.......

tonypof · 10-20-2008, 03:09 PM

white mister twisters will catch about any species of fish.

thedarkarcher · 10-20-2008, 03:16 PM

i would hafta go with a bucktail, most species will take a jig and you can control the action to match the bait you are trying to imitate. i would probably choose white as well and a medium size taking into consideration average prey size and castability...

There are no magic baits or lures. Nothing works all the time. They are all just different tools for different jobs.

But, having said that, I have also said that any fish that swims can be caught on some type of jig. Learn to be a good jig fisherman or fisherwoman and you will flat out be a good fisherperson.

1/16 oz chart Road Runner tipped with a 2" Yamamoto Senko. (2" no longer sold in the USA as of 1/1/2008).

Either that or nightcrawler.

You can even catch flathead catfish on jigs..

1" chert tube jig w/ a 1/32 jig head tipped with crawler..... bass, bluegill, white perch, channel cat, flathead cat, goldeye, golden shiner, crappie, and a few other species have all fallen to this mighty mini....

LincolnLunger · 10-20-2008, 04:21 PM

I also think the "ultimate lure" would have to be a 2 inch white twister tail grub. You can catch lots of different species with this lure

I thought you were going to pick a fly

"Wooly Bugger" (not sure if that is the correct name or spelling).

Hand grenades.

Tone2129 · 10-20-2008, 05:25 PM

1/8th oz black & blue jig. Catch big panfish and bass!

Musky Dreamin · 10-20-2008, 05:40 PM

It would be a hard choice IMHO between a Mister Twister curly tailed grub and a Red Devil...but if forced to choose...the grub.

capttim · 10-20-2008, 08:05 PM

great thread, made me think.

I'd go with a 3 inch watermelon , or pumpkin seed gulp sinking minnow will catch anything in the water

I would imagine that to be a pretty good success rate.
