I seen this question asked of pro's before and was wondering what our preference is. If you could only use one lure, what would you choose??? I would have to go with the worm. Next would be a jig.

A spinnerbait. It's such a good search bait and is very versitile. Then again I could be in a nice shallow stump field where my little squarbill can't be beat. Of course they may have moved out into the channel needing my deeper diver. But then I may have a deep school I've found so I'm gonna have to say my go to is that ole jiggin' spoon. Damn, I just found it's a smallie school, let me make that one bait a little finese drop shot. Definitely a drop shot is the ONE go to guy to count on. Wait a sec, I'm lost. I haven't found any school at all, I'm in the trees and need my cherry seed worm. That's the absolute only thing I need. Of course running my swimbait by those slowly might get me some big bites. Whoops, I forgot, I only catch 14 inchers anymore. My oversized for the region not matching the hatch swimbait isn't my best option (sorry Dave). Guess I'll just throw all those totally inexpensive things in the trash. Ok well then that would leave me with the ole' trusty to be used in such a variety of ways jig. Grrrrrrrr, I can't find a single color or maybe it's just the trailer that has them turning the other way today. OK, OK........I give. Fine I'll just stick to a minnow and split shot.
CRAP!!!!!!!!!! Something an hour ago must have sucked that minnow right off my hook.
Screw it, I'm goin' snaggin'.........

Well let me discribe this bait to ya'll. It is a hybrid part hard bait part soft bait, they come in a variaty of sizes but I prefer the 8 to 10" ones in my boat. It can carry a warning label depends if you are in California (you know lead can cause birth defects only in the state of California), It can be fished as shallow at 6" of water all the way down to 150' of water (depends on how much lead you use and how patient you can be). It has been outlawed in all 50 states (including California) but it is very popular with the farm folks. It can a have a 2 second reaction time or a 20 min reaction time, depends on how slow you would like to fish them. The most popular color is red but I prefer the brown colored ones.
The only rule to fishing this lure is not to get caught fishing this lure as it can lead to 5 to 10 in the big house. But I have caught many different species of fish with this bait from 3" shad to 40 pound flathead. This bait is ultra versitile and can be used at a young age, starting at age 12 all the way to age 90 unless you have heart problems or you can't throw your lure far enough away from the boat.
The only catch to fishing this lure is does not promote catch and release. If you use this lure you likely have to keep the fish that you catch with it.
Oh one more thing is that you have to wait for the ((((BOOOOOOM)))))))))).
Happy Fishing
PS if you are looking for this bait (I may know a guy)

Me too, the guy across the street had a quarter of one of those baits, we set it off in the street the other night.. When fishing with it though the key is to get them to sink, and to not drop them in the boat after they are "activated."

I agree with Keller. A jig is one of the most versatile baits as far as I'm concerned. I would like to add that you can also use it to KO the competition if they get to close.

Jig...Smig.....The most versatile bait is a Buzz bait-Spook-Rat-L-Trap- Chatterbait-Shakey Head on an Umbella Rig. Just under 6 oz with 120 lb braid.
