Jig and crawler

Beetle spin (jig spinner variation), I have caught pannies-bass-pike-walleye with this lure on the same lake in the same day.

JIG< the rest is dressing. The jig is the base.

[harvey lee]

Jig and plastics or a minnow.

[Flip]

jig and minnow would be hard to beat.

From the lakes of northern Canada, to the gulf of Mexico,

wherever fish are bitin' that's where we're gonna go.

There's a lot of excitin' country, just waiting to be explored,

So join us here in the great outdoor, world of Virgil Ward.

I guess this makes me a real fisherman!!

Hands down - the banjo minnow!!!

JK - I know you said only one but I like beetle spins (with twister tail) and jigs/minnows. Like someone else said - if I had a beetle spin I could break it down and just use the bare jig if I wanted to. Good Luck! Paul

Good Gawd.....,bout time someone shows a little love for Virgil Ward!!!

As a kid, I was simply enthralled with this show.

A jig is really always able to be fished. With a minnow. With Plastics. Under a bobber. Trolled. Vertical. Ect. Ect.

The original rapala is tough to beat too.

I pretty much always have a rod rigged with both of those.

I had to watch virgils show every weekend, it was like saturday cartoons, not one week passed without catching the show. My best all around lure is a rebel crawdad. I keep several in my box and they have yet to let me down. There are not many freshwater species that I havent caught with those things

[Morneau132]

Small original Rapalas and Salmo Hornets are great small cranks to catch multiple species of fish on ... from crappies to walleyes!

For my style of fishing, I'd have to say a #5 Shad Rap.
