The One Bait?

I'm still a rookie, so I was just wondering what is the one bait you always have on, your go to for any Season? Thanks for any help!

jig

^ Always have confidence in it

Texas rigged with a...

1/4 oz tungsten sinker
3/0 Gamakatsu EWG hook
YUM dinger, Zoom trick worm, or Berkley 7" power worm.

30 pound Suffix 832 Braid main line to a 10 pound Co-Polymer leader.

Temple Fork Outfitters 7'6" medium action rod with Pflueger 6930 spinning reel (I use spinning equipment with all bottom contact presentations)

If the winds are calm enough, and I could only take one rod to the lake, this would be the one.

Hope it helps,
Bryan

Toss up between a Rat-L-Trap (lipless crankbait) or a squarebill.

Shacky head

March-June: 5" stick bait/ (senko/dinger/flash/etc)
June-September: jig
October-December: fluke
Jan-Feb: finesse worm

Wacky worm

My 'any season' go-to bait is a bluegil colored swimjig with a green pumpkin rage grub trailer. Caught fish on that swimjig in every season.

Wow I got 5 Rods and Reels, I can put all your recommendations on and have it covered....

For numbers, 4 inch black power worm.

For size 12 inch cali 420 worm.

Both t-rigged with tungsten.

Drop shot or tx. rigged baby brush hog. I also have a jig or craw tube on deck all the time.

+1

And one rod will always have a green pumpkin weightless senko. And another will always have a pegged green pumpkin Biffle bug.

Texas rigged Baby brush hog.

Square bill

Black/Chartreuse square bill Bomber crankbait Fat A.

me too, when all else fails

Fluke, you can fish it weightless or on a Carolina rig. Watermelon Red

7" blue fleck powerworm

1/2oz spinner bait , probably in a green pumpkin/ natural color. I can fish it deep with a countdown, I can fish it shallow, I can fish it fast, I can fish it slow.
The beauty of this sport as I am discovering is, we do not have to limit ourselves. I have had nice luck on worms lately, when I bank fished before getting my kayak, I had nice success on a 3/18 oz spinner bait in craw color. i would not get the biggest fish, but I could get numbers and enjoyment.

This or a squarebill!

Shakey head with crawbait

IMO the easiest bait to throw is a 1/4oz owner screw lock shakey head paired with a watermelon red trick worm! U can fish it in 1 fow all the way out as to 20+ fow. Slow short drags and its gets bit in every situation in every season!

T-rig worm. Both my PBs have been on this. When in doubt I through a worm.

Shaky head baby brush hog. lots of drinks but catches fish

T. rig yammy 5" w/melon red senko

I love throwing chatterbaits, but I have the highest confidence in wacky rigging senkos. They just catch more fish than anything else I throw.

I grew up on a T-riged anything.

I got stuck on a 4.5" LFT Live Magic Shad, in Watermelon Red Pearl, on a weighted swimbait hook, or bladed swimjig, or bladed swimjig with skirt, chart dipped tail.

Ive always got a shakey head with a trick worm or a texas rig.

Wacky senko.
