There's alot of debate as to what lure company stands out over the others while some people could carealess and pluck baits from different brands to suit their needs. BUT for sake of conversation if you had to choose one brand to use for the rest of your life what would it be and why. 

Zoom 

Have to pick one???? Jeez dude. That's rough. I have to say strike king then, for the wide selection of lures

Berkley.

 

But I would dearly miss my Yamamotos, Zooms, & Strike Kings.

 

 

Berkley or Strike King for me.  I could go either way and probably be fine.  Preference would be Berkley by a smidge personally but I use both a lot.

 

I have a lot of confidence in the Stunna, Slobberknocker, Frittside, Money Badger and all of their soft plastics.

 

I love the Hybrid Hunter, 6XD, Red Eye Shad and Pad Perch and all of SK soft plastics.

 

Thankfully I don't have to pick and use a ton of different brands and baits for everything.

 

I find Strike King is usually on the back of jigs during the hot months and Berkley is usually on the back of my jigs during colder months.

 

I am a plastic junkie fully though.  I'm just glad I don't have to actually choose!  ?

Zoom

Uh....wait

Berkley

Uh....wait

Rapala-VMC

Uh....wait

Strike King

Uh....wait

 

 

Ummm - impossible choice

Bagley.

It would be hard for me to choose. I like Strike King hard baits a lot so I'd probably go with them.

 

Soft plastics, Zoom.

It’s a tie between Owner hooks and Gamakatsu hooks I use both but lean towards Owner.

Z-man why? Ned rigs. 

If its for all species (not just bass): Keitech. Great colors, great scent, great selection.

Rage Tail 

 

Why?

 

Steve "Big-O" Parks!

 

I'll say Zoom. Because I like they're finesse worm.

Wow!!! Only one!!….. I need time….. ONLY ONE!!….

Really ….. you can’t do this to us… one…..I’m going to have to get back to ya on this ….ONE.

Strike King's stuff takes up the most space in my rig.

Hard, soft & wire baits.

Strike King and Berkley are the only two that have a wide variety of hard and soft baits, but I own more Keitech plastics than I own Berkley and Strike King combined. Same with Yamamoto & Roboworm. So, it is kind of a moot point IMHO because I don't really have that much of either brand, but would have to resort to them if I could only choose one brand.

 

And of those two, I'd go Strike king.

 

Wait, no. Berkley.

 

Wait, no. Strike King.

 

Wait. . . .

I have a bit of favoritism with many companies, not so much for the company itself but for a few products that I’m compelled to buy from them. With Z-man, for example, I usually only buy Jackhammer chatterbaits from them. Same goes for other companies, only one or two products. I’m liking 6th Sense lately. Solid products, not that expensive, very practical and very well built….But I only buy the Trace from them. 

Either Zoom or Strike King.  It's hard to decide.

If I had to pick one just for soft plastics, Zoom.

 

If I had to pick one for both, Berkley.

For bass only, 6th Sense.  For multi species, Normark which includes  Rapala, Storm, VMC, Blue Fox, and Luhr Jensen.

Would go strike king. I use the plastics a ton and although their hard baits aren’t my favorites they are certainly good. The bonus points would be I wouldn’t be losing 20$ megabass to pike lol

Strike King for sure. They’ve got almost everything you could need.

Keitech soft plastics. Honorable mention to ZMan. 
 

Owner hooks. 
 

I don’t really fish hard baits much. 

Rage tail,  I always have luck with em. Plus my go to is the Rage Bug
