If you had to pick one lure

[bucktail]

Have to agree with Musky 66 1/2 ounce white and chartreuse spinnerbait. Slow roll , burn, fish thru cover......

TJ I hope your not using thsoe lures and only collecting them!

[Want]

1/2 oz Kastmaster silver spoon with dressed treble. Jig it, cast it, troll it.

[The Urban Fisherman]

If it were a matter of life and death and I had to catch fish for food - Jig and GULP Twister tail as most others suggested!

 

But for flat out fun - I'd bring an x-rap! I love fishin' them. I have way to short of an attention span

for twister tails, tubes, etc. no doubt they catch fish, but I need to keep moving!

 

Cheers,

UF

If I only had one lure, and I assume no replacements, I would go for something durable like a spoon. Catches fish, and can take a beating on rocks or from fish bites.

 

Every other kind of lure in my tacklebox gets worn or chewed up, esp by pike or muskie. Have several crankbaits that have puncture marks, spinnerbait skirts get torn up, and plastics get torn up pretty quickly too.

Only one lure eh?...hmmmmm.......I would have to go with a cotton cordell super spot lipless crank. I've caught drum, catfish, muskie, pike, walleye, perch, bass, crappie, even trout on the smaller sizes, and salmon. I always have one ready to go every time I go out, even through the ice.

One Lure........mine would be an oversized Tube. They seem to attract every type of fish imaginable. Even fish that are half its size. Either a Tiger Tube or Waterwolf. As for color, smoke or grey with fleck.

 

My luck, I would probably loose it the first cast though and be stuck sitting there

[GbayGiant]

Various sized jigs a bucket of minnows, can't loose, or a worm harness is hard to beat.

Besides my own lures - I'd take a #4 Mepps Black Fury with yellow dots - it catches everything!

[Clampet]

....Hey, that ain't green!

 

I think this is the GCD pattern..

[pikehunter]

Mepps Black Fury dressed or Mepps Brown Trout dressed. Both #3 or #4, preferably #4.

 

The Brown Trout is difficult to find in the Hamilton area. If anyone has seen it in the local tackle shops the heads up is appreciated.

Jig + twister, that's simple.

As Solopaddler has shown me up at his place in Quebec, you can't go wrong with a jig on a new body of water...

The results are delicious on a shore lunch .
