If you could only fish 5 lures for the rest of your life what would they be? 

 

bonus points if you do a list for largemouth and one for smallmouth 

Ned rigs, prop style top water. done.

  Brown Bass             Green Bass

Jerk Bait                    Swimbait

Vibrating Jig             Rattlebait

Walking Bait             Spinnerbait

You were supposed to list fishing lures. Not your dinner skunky. 

1. Texas Rig Creature Bait - Versatile and I can use a different weight depending on where I want to fish in the water column. Likely 3.6 Keitech crazy flapper. 

2. Senko 

3. Bladed Jig

4. 4 inch swimbait

5. Topwater, probably a popper that can be walked (Popmax or Ima Finesse Popper)

 

I'm fairly certain one of those will always catch a bass on any lake I fish.

We may have the same "financial advisor". 😉

@Dogface He has indicated he has hundreds if not thousands of victims clients from BR alone & many assistants traveling throughout the US, CAN & one located in a cantina down in MX not too far from @king fisher.

 

I can't even narrow it down to 5 jigs....

I would have a Normans DLN snuck away somewhere😳😙

I only fish lakes with a decent Smallmouth population once or twice a year so I don't have a list for them.  I usually managed to run into a few using the same lures I target Largemouth with.  

 

So, 5, in no particular order.

Devils Horse

Shaky Head

Wacky

Bladed Jig

Flatside Crankbait

 

 

I realize shaky head and wacky are kinda broad descriptions as I might put any number of things on them.  The Bait Monkey said that was OK.   It's hard to leave a Texas Rig off, but in the past year or so I believe I can catch most of the T-rig Bass on a Shaky head, but some of the shaky head Bass won't look at a T-rig.   

Swim jig, Senko, speed worm, spinner bait, topwater

No Smallmouth down here. Never caught one anywhere, actually. 

 

I rarely change lures and really don't fish hard baits so mine are simple as can be. 

 

1. Beetle Spin

2. Stickbait (weightless)

3. Finesse worm (split shot rig or wacky depending on my mood)

4. Lizard (split shot)

5. Trick worm (same as 3)

 

 

Zoom Magnum UV Speed Worm 

Rage Cut R

Rage Bug

Super Spook

Devils Horse
