What rod would you use to throw that rig?

I'm surprised not one of you hillbillies suggested dynamite

The OP said lure/plastic. . .so it would have to be C4 not dynamite! Not sure if that would work the same.

Custom made extra extra super heavy rod. 14 feet 3 inches.  Rated up to 8 pounds.   On 150 pound braid.   Only way to fish that rig.

Holy Cow!! That's a helluva setup!!!

I never understood this type of question, I mean do you plan on being shot down behind enemy lines with only one lure? Personally I bought a bigger boat so I could carry as many lures as I want.

No, you see, once you spend 60 grand on a souped up bass boat how will you possibly afford lures? You'll only have like 5 bucks left after a purchase like that and you'll have to spend it wisely. 

Imma gonna go with a 4" Senko or Bass Pro Stik-O.

 

Watermelon Magic coloration....

 

Maaaaaybe  

5" Senko #194 Green Pumpkin.

If I broke off 6" of line with every lure of all the rods I have I would run out of line before lures.

Gary Yamamoto Chikara Crankbait Sexy Shad

A jig

Lure: Mepps agila #4 in line spinners in gold color. 

 

Plastics: Zoom Trick Worm, watermelon w/chartreuse tail. 

 

Honestly, I feel pretty confident that with a 3.75 inch Keitech fat impact in literally any of the baitfish colors, rigged on a 3/0 1/8oz Monaer swimbait hook,  I will stand a decent chance of catching a bass in almost any reasonable condition.  

 

Whenever I embark on the necessary bit unpleasant task of cleaning up my little home "office", I do get the urge to try to pair down to just a handful of lures.  The aformantioned paddle tail, a green senko, a shad color spinnerbait, and a black/blue jig seem like all one really needs for 90% of the waters I would ever fish.

No contest.  A 5" Senko in color 297 (Green Pumpkin/Black Fleck).  I have caught bass in every type of water from tannic in Florida to crystal clear in Wisconsin and Michigan and stained on the Potomac.  I wrote an article for Yamamoto years ago and I came up with 78 ways to rig this bait.  I never hit the water without it.  Anywhere.  

Link that article. My buddy has a "1001 Cocktails" bartenders bible and    we spent most of our 20s and some of our early 30s trying to make and drink everyone of them. I feel like I should try to rig a senko all 78 ways at some point as well.   

 

 

Blue and black jig.

Yes this happens so this thread is absolutely necessary.

My absolute favorite crankbait of all time - love 'em in size 100 and 200.

Zoom Magnum finesse worm... Black.

Hard boiled egg on a Carolina rig 

I’ll play.

 

Z-man big TRD in green Pumpkin. You can fish it like a stick worm, T-rig C-rig or wacky rig. Fish it on a Ned rig as is or cut some off and fish it like a finesse TRD. Works all seasons so it would be my one lure choice.

 

Runner up would be the Missle Baits 48 worm. For all the reasons above. Versatile bait.

Zoom Trick Worm...June Bug...

Gotta be a corn dog, man.  Love those dorkfish.
