3) Jig tipped with minnow

 

4) Spinner bait with Silver Blades and Yellow Skirt

Most days (bass fishing anyway) I'll only pick up the spinnerbait or jerkbait rod.

i had a feeling i was overlooking that orange jointed rapala in my dads tackle box.

[ccmtcanada]

All great choices! One thing I'd always bring is the good ole fashioned hook, bobber and worm. If nothing else is biting then at least get some panfish for a snack.

Mepps 3 long algea

Blue Fox musky killer vibrex

[CLofchik]

#1) Original Redfin Gold/Black:

 

 

#2) Spro Crank25 Shad (replaces white Big-O, love this crankbait):

 

 

#3) Original Culprit 6" worm, Red Shad

 

#4) Mann Jelly Worm 6" or 8", Motoroil. Usually fish it Carolina rigged, in shallow wacky. Do better with this worm than tubes.

 

#5) White spinnerbait double blade, Colorado or Willow leaf blade depending on depth.

 

That's usually the order I follow during the day, usually stay deeper working plastics I never get to the spinnerbait.

2. Mann's Baby 1- Grey Ghost.

3. Booyah 3/8 ounce spinnerbait, black, red and white skirt, copper blade and silver blade.

5. White/Chartrouse willowblade spinner bait.

Ditto! We should go fishing, together.

[solopaddler]

Ditto! We should go fishing, together.

 

That's a good enough reason for me LOL! (Anytime bud )

[Fishnwire]

It would depend on whether or not I had a boat I could drift and troll from, but anyway...

 

 

 

I might consider a slip float and bucket full of nice minnows, if that were an option.

 

jigs.jigs.jigs...with required plastic. Grubs and tubes count as one, right?

 

A long bodied floating minnow bait like a bomber "longA"...something versitle that I can use to break surface, straight retrieve, or anything in between.

 

A shallow running plug like a 2-4 foot running Fat Rap.

 

A selection of spinner baits...also counts as one, right?

 

 

I hate like heck to find myself without a pair of forecepts or needlenose pliers when it come time to remove a deep hook from the fish's mouth, so I'd like a good set of those too.
