You can choose 5 lures, 1 rod, 1 reel and 1 lake/pond/river to fish with all year. What would you choose?

 

 

I would take a-

PB&J 1/2 oz football jig with a Watermelon Seed Bass Assassin Pure Craw trailer

Junebug red flake 4" brush hog

3/8 oz black and blue buzzbait w/ clacker

Chrome Blue 1/2 oz red eye shad

and a chartreuse blue 1/2 oz spinner bait with two willow leaf blades

 

rod- Abu Garcia Veritas

 

reel- Diawa Tatula

 

Lake- Lake Quivera

 

Fenwick Techna AV rod

Curado I reel

Super Fluke (baby bass)

Skinny Dipper (Houdini)

Trick worm (Black)

Chatterbait (White/Chartreuse with a white headless Skinny Dipper dipped in chartreuse

Structure Bug (June bug)

Big O

Mike

Rod: 6'7" MH *** 13 Black 

 

Reel: Shimano Citica

 

Line: 14lb Berkely 100% Fluorocarbon

 

Lures:

1/2 oz Black/blue Siebert outdoors brush jig with a Black/blue paca chunk

10" Zoom Ol'Monster in Green Pumpkin

Green Pumpkin Trick worm on a shakey head

Strike king 6xd in sexy shad

1/2oz White/chart war eagle spinnerbait

 

Lake: Lake of the Ozarks

Hmm...lemme see

 

Senko color 231

Roboworm 6" straight tail

white chatterbait, 3/8 oz w/tennessee shad fluke trailer

Booyah Pad Crasher

Red-head zara spook

 

Rod: this is a tough choice since i would be throwing slop and drop shots...so i'd probably go with the 7' mmf veritas

Reel: 2nd gen abu revo sx spooled with 40lb 832.  trailers would depend on the bait

 

this wouldnt be ideal for the thick slop with the frog or the dropshot, but i could get away with more open-water frogging and some heavier drop-shotting with a 1/4 oz weight instead of the 1/8oz i ususally throw.

 

EDIT:

Forgot to mention that this would all be fished on Kent Lake, MI.

Good question, but I'd likely spend so much time retying that I'd quit for the year out of frustration. Unless I am on a school of fish that is hammering the same lure cast after cast, I rarely make more than 10 casts in a row with the same lure. This is especially true when working structure that I know holds fish, mixing it up every few casts works for me.

Can I have 5 rods & reels if they are all the same models?

7'2" Cumara MH fast tip. Ci4+ 6:1 reel. 15 lb Invizx. 

 

3/8oz C-rig with a bug color worm. Caffiene shad in KVD magic. 3/8oz Junebug dredge jig w/ okochobee craw rage craw. Black w/ blue fleck senkos. 1/4oz Picasso shakey head w/ bug color worm.

 

 

Essentially, my confidence bag.

Lake/pond/river

Rice Lake in South Eastern Ontario. Lots of weedbeds and rocky shorelines, prime habitat for both Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass.

Hmm...well I beat the banks so this isn't too much trouble.

Reel

Also long as its low profile, I can deal with any baitcaster

 

Baits

1/2 oz spinnerbait>>>all purpose

3/8 oz jig>>>all purpose

Beaver bait>>>Heavy flipping

Squarebill cranbait...KVD 1.5 is high on my list

Spook>>>Best Topwater that I know of.

 

Lake/pond/river

Alabama River or Coosa River. They are close to home and offer a lot of options to fish however you feel like.

I'd quit fishing.
