Similar threads come up almost weekly.  I always have the same answer.  One lure?  Jig.

5'' Watermelon/Black fleck Senko worm

Would have to be some kind of jig.

Can't decide between

1. texas rigged worm

2. jig with craw trailer or worm trailer (recently tried out of curiousity with the end of a ribbontail worm and its awesome)

3. chatterbait with swimbait on it

A 4" hand poured finesse worm. That's always my go to bait if nothing else works, but that's a rare occasion that nothing else will work

Zoom finesse worm in baby bass

Green pumpkin zoom ol' monster, Texas rigged with a 1/4 ounce bullet weight, and a 5/0 red ewg gammie.

4.8 " Keitech Swing Impact Fat with a 4/0 screw lock 3/16 oz hook. Swim, crawl and flip it.

Lipless crank, chrome w/ blue back.

 

If I were fishing strictly for LMB, 7" ribbon-tail worm in tequila shad, t-rigged.

 

Tom

Senko 5"  on 2/0 Owner weedless wacky hook 

3/8 ounce green pumpkin jig with matching color rage craw, with this deal I would always catch fish..

3.5" BPS tender tube in any green/brown color variation.

White 1/2oz booyah spinnerbait

Hornytoad or buzzbait, tough choice....

If you mean for just for bass, a 5" Senko in Junebug or Watermelon.  If you mean all fish, probably a Rapala Shad Rap

3/8 jigs with Rage bama craw.

Space Monkey

Space Monkey

 

That is a versatile bait.  T-rig, C-rig, Rage Rig, jig trailer, shaky head, unweighted like a toad....

 

A-Jay

 

1/2 ounce black and blue jig. Simply cant go wrong with it.

pearl white Zoom fluke with 3/0 gamakatsu EWG hook

3/8oz brush jig in blue craw /w rage craw matching trailer.

Motor oil/ chartreuse tail 7in. zoom trick worm, salt-less 

I would choose a crankbait, because if you are traveling to different lakes and then there are going to be different species. You can catch bass, pike, muskie, and walleye on a crank.

 

Or I would choose a jerkbait for the same reason.

jig with double tail grub trailer
