if you could only use one bait year round what would it be?

a 3/8 to 1 ounce jig

Cranks.

spinnerbait for me

Plastics. I don't fish much in the winter so I went with my favorite kind of lure.

What about jerkbaits, topwaters, jigs, and swimbaits?  

What about jerkbaits, topwaters, jigs, and swimbaits?

I said jigs. ;D

I know you did, but the poll doesn't list jerkbaits, jigs, swimbaits, or topwaters.  

JIGS!

Jig heads with a plastic trailer

not on thelist but thats it in a nutshell 8-)

Worms

I'm going to say crankbaits. Probably not the most productive year round bait, but they are my favorite way to fish.

Jig

You forgot topwater.

If I had only 1 lure to use all year I would have to say a 3/8 OZ Green Pumpkin Jig.

Drop Shot Rig would be a very close 2nd

Plastics for me, definitely.  I use them all year around anyway. ;D

soft plastic worms

jigs. one of the most versatile lures. if the fish are hittin jigs, its gonna be a good day.

T-rigged plastic worm. I do fish it year-round (every time I go to be exact); it is my number one confidence lure, the first lure I throw, I have caught the most bass on it, and I have also caught my personal best on it. My favorite worm is the Zoom Trickworm in black.

definitely a jig.

Five years ago I would have said crankbaits. I voted for Plastics, since that is what I use the most now.

Texas Rigged Plastic

3/4 oz black jig and a 3" black Jig trailer

Swimbaits

Plastics, cause theres so many styles and ways u can fish them.  Although, I could break it down more but....then it would get confusing.  So in general plastics, then jigs, then cranks...

Being type A, I need to be on the move so it is a crankbait for me.
