Ifin you were starving and only could use one lure to try and catch your next meal, what would that lure be?
-
Old Standby...........Swed ish Pimple gold or silver.
-
Oh thats an easy one,I would use my most favorite
lure of all,Tear drop with stinger hook........
-
It would be a jig of some sort. Open water, a MiniMite Cubby jig.For ice fishing, probably a Genz Worm.
-
Swedish Pimple - any color
-
A size 10 glow/green rat finkee tipped with two spikes will catch anything that swimms.... Got a 6 lb eye on one last winter while fishing perch....
-
If I was starving I would go buy a ribeye. But if I really wanted to catch a fish, size 12 marmooska orange and chart or green and chart with two maggots.
-
Caty Jig...orange /chartreuse/waxworm...never fails.

Mr S. I have to agree with you, chart and green marmooska, except here in my part of Indiana, I have to go with a mousie.
-
jdm isnt Indiana where mousies come from? I always heard that from my dad. I only know of one place to buy mousies and I really dont have as much luck with them. Also, the one place to buy mousies is run by a creepy dude.
Last year had a lady ask me how I could pick up maggots. I told her its not that hard, just get your fingers real close together.

I fish in Southern Wyoming and Northern Colorado, the jig I try first is an 1 1/2" pumpinseed tube jig. I have caught trout, perch, walleye and crappie with it. Sweeten it with 1/2 a meal worm or a small piece of raw shrimp from the deli and hold on. Watch the line though if it seems like it hasn't sunk to the bottom you probably have a fish on, set the hook. Try it, you'll like it.
Stay warm , afishingfool

Seems like the Marmooska with a grub is working well here in NY. That"s my pick.. ;)
-
A drop shot rig - A small blue/silver kastmater with the treble removed and an 1/16 ounce jig suspended about 2 inches below it. It is a definite perch killer!
-
I like a glow demon tipped with a couple of maggots or a waxie. I've caught a ton of panfish and a 19" pike on it.
-
Glow rat finke tipped with waxworm will out fish anything on the strip mines I fish in Illinois. Big bluegill & crappie. Hog perch as well.
-
I would have to say a Custom Jigs and Spins Demon.
You can tip them with anything. They will catch just about anything.
-
Assuming that you already own a set of lures, and that if you're starving you're probably out of work and can't afford bait, and finding bait in the winter is difficult...
2 Size 12 orange or chartreuse Marmooska with a Custom Jigs n Spins finesse tail rigged in tandem 16" apart.
If someone gave me bait, then I'd opt for 2 maggies on the bottom one.
If I had only one of them then I'd fish it solo! ;D
-
Hard water? Soft? Shore bound? One lure, 12 months a year.... 1/4 ounce gold kastmaster. Jig it, troll it, cast it, but in the winter put a 4 inch dropper on it and a demon or tick. Tipped with waxies if ya got em.
