If you had only one Artifical Bait to use!

If you had only one ARTIFICIAL BAIT to use on sunfish/or any other fish, what would it be?

I know it's artificial baits but I have to include LIVE NIGHT CRAWLERS! As for artificial bait it would have to be the Gulp Alive Worms!

silver color Beetle Spin with Berkeley power bait 2in grub.

Gulp alive minnows here,caught big red ear and nice blue gill off them. Unpainted 1/16 oz jig head #6 sickle hook and lip them. Bounce off bottom,oh man! Got to give it a pause laying on bottom,then when you pick up,they slurp it in. Clean bottom you can cast it and bounce it, same story,let them have time to look at it on the bottom,then bam! Attempt to move the bait a foot at a time,slow your roll. Late winter and early spring,on or near beds.About like now but haven't tried this year. Normally in 4-8' water. Sometimes it's crazy,son caught some near a bluff at canyon, it was 24' on tree side of boat,and 70' on main lake side. He casted about 25' from boat and locked reel letting the bait swing vertical. Big blue gill! It's a good bait man!

Small rooster tail

flys have always did the job well for me

I don't fly fish yet...But I do use small beaded flies under a tiny weighted float this has caught some monsters...But my biggest bluegill came off of a 1/64the jig head I tied up with red foxtail hair and a red thread neck. I also took two strands off of a spinner bait skirt and tied them in to look like legs. kind of a hybrid jig/fly that is castable with ultra light spinning gear. FUN FUN FUN!!!

+3 on the fly rod. Either a top water popper or a light bead chain fly. I've caught everything from a 4" long ear to a 23.5 inch Buffalo on a size 8 gray & white bead chain clouser.

One lure only ? Rivers, stock tanks, lakes. Multi-specie. This one, no hesitation --

Size 07 Rapala Balsa Floating Minnow, silver foil.

1/16th oz. Beetle Spin.

Tiny Zoom Brush Hog in Watermelon Red Texas rigged its my nephews go to lure for 5 years.

My version of this ^^^ bait. I call them "Gill Bugs". I have caught my best gills with crickets. Anything that looks "crickety" will get the attention of big gills.

Gulp Alive grubs or minnows. Fly/bubble with Pistol Petes.

Oh yeah!!! That's what I'm talking bout!...the possibilities are unlimited... really like your ties.

Super simple to tie. I made most of those up with scrap material from tying crappie jigs.

When coming through the water, they kinda look like a little water spider. Cut the front legs off, just in front of the head, and they look more like a cricket.

I also bottom fish, using the "drop shot" method, with a weightless version.

Super nice!...do you prefer somthing differentfor red ear?

Those look like bluegill killers Redgun. Excellent flies

Awesome baits! Nice job REDGUN!

For bluegills and sunfish, Hollow body tube jig on a 1/32nd upainted jig head. Color, I am beginning to find out, doesn't really matter, they all catch 'gills and sunnies!

Grub! For UL guys who throw jig/plastics, the grub is the bread and butter. Some type of grub can and will catch bream all year long.

Best all around lure the Hot Spot.
