Only allowed one lure, what would it be?

[ec30_06]

red jig head and a white twister tail has caught almost everything that swims for me.

Original Floating Silver Shiner Rapala-caught everything with this lure

Shiner,

+1...I agree, I like the live bait though...for panfish, bass, or walleye. But they need to come out with a beefed-up version for the 5 lb plus fish. Also fix the threads so they don't unravel, I shouldn't have to fix it for them.

Have to have it tipped with a minnow, but since it was lure not bait I went with a Twister.

Totally agree........

[Harmonica Bear]

Unpainted jig and minnow (or twister tail) for me as well.

[jegerjack]

One of these and a shiner...

[Weed Shark]

Shiner,

For like 20 years now, I put clear Hardnail fingernail polish on the threads as soon as they come home from the store. Solves the problem, but shake my head everytime I do it.

[Nate McVey]

I will have to try that this year. I would rather fish with the Gypsy than anything else so that is a great tip. Thanks!

Lindy rig because I can get lots of walleye and perch.

All right, I have to weigh in again. One lure, does that mean that if you were going into the BWCA or anywhere else for that matter, you'd have one lure? I love jigs and twisters and such but once the plastic or the bait runs out then what? I still have to go with a countdown rap. I'd pit that lure against any twister tail because if you have one and only one, the rap is going to take a beating and still be fishable but a twister tail on a jig, nope. I don't buy it. I fishing twisters and plastics pretty regularly, and I go through alot of bodies on those jigs in the course of a day or weekend.

Johnson Silver Minnow with Pork Rind.

[Sergeant Slabber]

The good old beetle spin is very hard to beat in my opinion!

[Slyster]

Hook and senko/comida. Lots of options.. and I've caught so many bass as well as other species on this combo. Although.. can't beat a beetlespin either.

Can I have two?

3" chartreuse twister tail on a 1/8-1/4 oz jig head with spinner.

Ditto! It will catch everything from Crappies to Muskies, 2" twister tail was close 2nd. I've even caught fish through the ice with this set up, which is something you can't do with a floating rapala.

[AQUAJOE]

4in. Banjo Minnow

[Benfishin]

1/16th oz mimmic minnow, perch color. Deadly!

[Bobby Bass]

1/4 oz spinnerbait tandem willow blades with blue and white skirt and pearl white 4" trailer. Has been a very good combo for me the past few seasons under a lot of different conditions.

[Reel Don]

HOOK, LINE, SINKER, WORM. And the ability to fish any time.

[TMF89]

Hmm, either a chartuese 3" Gulp twister tail, or a blue/silver rattle-trap. One's my go-to lure for walleye, the other's my all time favorite.

[Minnesota_Herb]

From my experience and other's, I'd likely go with a small (2" 1/8oz) white tube jig. It's proven to be highly productive throughout the year, used in a mix of patterns, ice or open, with multiple specie potential.
