I've been around a while and have seen many threads in the tackle section about "If you could choose one lure" or "what's your favorite lure" and while I have seen many replies that make sense and some that leave me wondering there's not been many replies as to the real reason why.
That said, think about that for a minute, what makes you pick that "one" bait? Is It a confidence thing? Is It because that's all you throw? Is It because In that particular situation you have had enough positive feedback to know that's the right bait?
This Is not so much about choosing "one" bait as much as why It's a favorite? I guess the point of this Is why are there favorites and the reasoning behind that choice.
As an example: As crazy as It would be to choose one bait to fish with for a day mine would have to be a Zoom 4" dead ringer(Watermelon or Black) on a Siebert Outdoors Zenith Shakeyhead. The reason being Is I know It will catch fish. It can be used In rocks, brush, deep, shallow, and for the waters I fish It's a very versatile bait. I also have a ton of confidence It that set-up. Sound off fellow fisherman!
