might be a question worth asking , and a good one . if you were in the wild ,which three lures would you take ? not any more than that.

in my list would be ,worm,mepp's spinner #2 and small jig, to make it out in the wild say 2 wks.

Probably a beetle spin, marabou jig, and a very small tube 1inch or less.

 

that way you could catch any fish in the water for a meal.

gonna ad my own reply to this, people can go without food for 7days then well kinda in a jam and all you have is a pole and 3 lures,

Many survival kits come with a jig, my pick would be an 1/4 oz saltwater bucktail jig because of the stronger hook.

Spinnerbait, 

Jig, 

5" C tail grub.

I agree except for the worm. The work will get ripped up and you can't replace it. Id with an extra spinner in case you lose one

My family would just starve. True story

jig and more jigs

I would rather use tiny flys, ant/ mosquito, and just bare hooks for potential live bait rigging... Though I mite well eat the worm/ grub outta hunger/ protein

Thinking about the topic, Survival Lures.  If I planned on having 3 lures with me I'd have a rod too, that isn't survival it's a fishing trip or outing with limited gear.  Survival, I'd like a spear so I can defend myself as well hunt and fish.

If I'm fishing to survive - especially if from the bank - I'm targeting panfish. In an hour of fishing, I can almost assure that I'll catch enough for a meal on any healthy body of water.  So, bare hooks for bugs, a very small jig, and something like a beetle/mepps spinner or small crank.

Many of these responses have a common problem. They want to use inline spinners or beatle spins. Just because you have lures doesn't mean you have a reel to get those lures reeling fast enough to work properly. Have you ever tried hand lining a inline spinners it doesn't work. I would want bait holder hooks ranging from size 10 to 1 and some split shot. I could also spear or trap my fish. There is such thing as the fishing equivalent of a spring snare.
