If you could bring just ONE bait/lure with you on a fishing trip what would it be?

Mine would probably be a blue fleck berkley powerworm

It would depend on the water, and the time of year.  All my fish this year have been on two baits: crankbait and suspending jerkbait.  It won't be like that in a month.

A tube. The color would have to be determined my the water I'm fishing but I can catch bass on tubes in all 12 months of the year.  

one lure for all seasons and all water temps for anywhere in the world?

Id have to say a spoon. I hate using them but every fresh and saltwater game fish can be caught on a spoon.

This one is so easy. WHITE ROOSTER TAIL. Catches all kinds of fish. Burn it, let it fall, slow roll it, stroke it. I got a good laugh when my cousin tied one then just murdered the smallies and everything else.

white zoom super fluke  

Senko!

Exactly.  

I used to think this was an easy question, but. . .  :-/

It would have to be one of three:

Chrome rat-l-trap

White spinnerbait

Shad Zoom fluke

All can be fished at different depths, although the weedlessness of the fluke would win out over the other two.  

Hmmmmmmmmmm...only one eh?

gotta be a watermelon senko

but if I could have just one more than add in a ratLtrap.

And a chug bug would be nice.

Of course I just love those big ole culprit worms, and how about a ..........................................nevermind.

Purple or black plastic worm

i would bring a jig you can fish it shallow or deep,drag it over pads like a frog, for largemouth or hop it along rockpiles for smallies. swim it like a spinnerbait. alround its the most versitle lure i throw

I'd have to go with the Senko I'm affraid. Will catch anything!

8" Texas rigged Junebug worm. If they are a little lure shy i can pinch off 2" or so and still be good!  ;D

Green Pumpkin Senko. That's it. I am a believer.

Black Zoom Trick Worm.  You can fish it weightless, weighted, wacky rigged.  I have caught more fish on a black trick worm than any other lure.  You know what they say, Once you go black you never go back! ;D

Green Pumpkin Fat Ika.

5/16 oz eakins jig in pb&j with matching eakins craw trailer.

manns baby 1 or a zoom super fluke

beetle spin if i needed food a plastic worm if i was doin it for fun and only had one bait to use

Pumpkin Senco..

Depends on the lake/season but probably a Senko or a Roboworm.

If the water is fairly clear, it would be a 4" creme white senko rigged on a 1/0 EWG Gammy.
