If you were fishing for bass and you only had one lure, what would it be. Please include the name of the lure and its color.

4"-5" paddletail swimbait, watermelon hue of some sort. Brian.

Oooo - another mid-winter 'what if' thread....neat

 

If I had to be so restricted - 3/8oz SK Tour Grade Swim Jig, Green Pumpkin - 4" Berkley Pit Boss trailer in Green Haze.

 

That was my most productive lure last year - so one of my confidence baits.

Senko.  5”.   #928 color

If I only had one lure, I'd be stopping at Walmart on the way to the lake.  I'd buy something - anything - just so that I did have an option.  I couldn't do one bait and and don't want to try to do it.  All the different "what if's" would be running through my head and fishing wouldn't be that much fun.

A black blue fleck 5" Senko it just works!

5" Senko, color # 297 Green Pumpkin with black flake

Jig 3/8 oz tungsten black/blue with a black/blue rage chunk

You don’t get to stop at Walmart.  The game is pick ONE

Arkie style 3/8 oz jig, brown with either some red or purple in it.

Matched with a Spicy Beaver Green Pumpkin.

7" black Berkley power worm... same thing I used as a kid that caught fish every time!

5" wacky rigged stick worm in green pumpkin

5” senko as long as we are able to add weight when needed

Wacky-rigged 5" Senko. Green Pumpkin if only one color. 

7" Berkley Power worm in motor oil.

 

Just not sure if I should go with split shot or a bullet weight.....

Black 4" curly-tail grub on a ball jighead.

Tough question!

 

I'd probably go with a senko too.  Either green pumpkin or watermelon with red flake.

5” Senko #956 watermelon with copper flake/orange with red flake. WR or weightless TR.

x2, t-rigged weightless if that isn't clear. Assuming we are trying to catch as many fish as we can. If I am fishing for fun, I would go with:

 

RI skinny dipper in white, on a VMC swimbait jig head.

 

Paddletails fish faster and cover more water than senkos. So if it was windy, I have a hard time controlling senkos on my kayak in the waves and wind.

Don’t worry, spring is almost here. However, that’ll bring the “how much does this bass way” threads. ?

That color does not get a lot of attention but it’s my favorite color by far. When I rig it, I have the watermelon side on top when sunny and down when overcast.
