What 3 lures will you always have tied on? For me it's a 5" yum dinger junebug on a 1/8 oz 3/0 Ewg weighted hook a 3/8 oz d and l baby jig in bluegrass craw with a net bait paca ***** in green pumpkin for the trailer and a black and blue craw fatty on a yum pumpkin head standup 1/4 oz 4/0. (Of course color changes but I find myself using these the most)

KVD 1.5 chartreuse black back will always have its place in the local lake I fish....

I have a setup that is always rigged up with either a jig or something T-rigged, and one setup that is always rigged up with a senko. Don't really have a 3rd, but I always have a senko and either jig or T-rig ready to go.

Depends on what time of year. but most often:

1).4" senko

2).Zoom trick worm

3).Gambler Cane Toad

1.  4" green pumpkin senko

 

2.  3/8-1/2 oz. jig w/ trailer (trailer and weight of jig varies depending on time of year)

 

3.  colorado blade white spinnerbait

What if we only have one rod and reel? xD I like a T-rig, jig, and spinner.

Again, I'm so glad every time one of these comes up and I'm reminded that I don't have to choose just 3.

#1 rule though-  has to be weedless.
