what do u guys think is a great all around weather/season lure?

I think a rattle trap or a 1/4 oz white and yellow spinner bait is a good all around lure.  Probalby the spinner because of it's versatility and lack of hang ups.

there are three must-haves I keep around for any occassion.

1. Spinnerbait...preferably in white

2. Husky jerk/ X-rap...just love the shake of these lures

3. and of course a spook

     # 4. T-rigged power worm  

i know i talk bout em all the time but a blue fox or rooster tail in line spinner  ;D

Spinners and jigs.  I live in southern Indiana, so I get the full range of seasons here.  Those are the 2 that work year round for me.

Spinnerbait would get my vote.

T-rigged creatures/craws and jerkbaits, preferably japanese brands.

One word.

Pretty cool how I linked that into one word huh? ;D

In my area it would be a Rat-l-trap, or a jig.

A jig...period end of story. There are very few baits that you can catch fish at any depth with, in any season, any type of body of water, any water clarity, from the bank or boat, and fish in as many different presentations as you can a jig. I have been trying my best to make great strides in learning the patience necessary and as many techniques I can learn using a jig. I think anyone who does not do this is doing themselves a great dis-service.

#1 Fat Ika

#2 6" Senko

#3 Micro Munch Tackle El Gordo tube

Spinnerbait and carolina rig

Jerkbaits work year round for me.

Spinnerbait - White/Chartruese. Blades - #2 silver willow, #4 gold willow.

Best overall lure out there.

If I had to be stuck with one bait all year, I'll take a jig.

#1 = Jig

#2 = 4" senko

I guess some of you live in the deep south and can get away with spinnerbaits year round? Up north it gets a little colder and considering that I broke up ice on the lake with my boat my second trip out I do not think a topwater would work for some reason?
