I suppose a spinnerbait would be the best choice but I chose a glide bait. You can work them slow or fast and some very erratically to fit the conditions.

Ace tandem spinnerbait, without question the BEST, most versatile bait for my money. Color would probably be chartreuse and orange. I'm kind of suprised, glide baits are entertaining to throw, but are completely worthless in heavy cover. On a lake like LOTW, you could never put one on and fish half the spots I do in a day, at least fish them correctly that is. For me I'd never let a bait dictate which spots I want to fish. At least that has been my experience.

It's a very difficult question. After some thought, I'll be the first to poll on a Bucktail. Probable Mepps in a natural color.

Again, for all-season versatility I'd probably go with a 9" Grandma, holographic perch, although the bull dawg option is certainly tempting....

I think Bob Izumi answered this question best when he said "Asking a fisherman if he could only use one lure, what would it be is like asking a golfer if he could only use one club for an entire round of golf what would he use?." Lures are tools that have an appropriate time and place, just like golf clubs. You wouldn't use a putter off the tee, would you?

However, if I had to use just one lure it would be a 10" straight Believer. You can cast or troll it deep or shallow, or even crawl it across the surface. A very versatile lure that can be used in many situations.

A copper, willow bladed, with brown hair CJs spinner bait. I couldn't throw it the rest of my life though as the one I got last year is already in rough shape. Actually, many of my CJs spinner baits are beat up real bad.....

Either some kind of glider, that i could mess with the screw in weights for depth, or a crankbait like a jake that i could twitch shallow or fish deeper with it just by crankin it in.
