I work too much, dont fish enough. In the times I cant fish, I ponder stupid thoughts like 'what would be my top 5' or 'if I could only throw ONE lure all year, what would it be".

Personally, I'd go with a 9" cisco kid, probably in shad. Would be a b*tch to run shallow, but I could twitch it to the surface if necessary...then can run it in any other depth either straight retrieving or twitching and even trolling.

You?

I would have to say a Hardhead. I usually have one on a pole at all times w/ an assortment of weight inserts in my pocket for fishing different depths. Also, I have caught fish on them from Opening Day till late November.

In my short muskie career 90% of my (5) fish have came of the same/same color bucktail it would be hard not to pick that.

But a close second would be a suick, I love the way they look in the water and for some reason have too much confidence in them (a lot of northerns)

If you didn't say a dadson you didn't answer the question correctly.:-)

If I had to pick one I will answer incorrectly as well. Modivator.

I would have to say my double cowgirl (black tail, orange blades) or my toothy tickler bucktail (black tail, orange blades). I say this because put simply I have put all of my fish in the boat with these lures.

Still need to put one in the boat late fall to be an all year lure for me though.

Tough to cover all depths, both trolling and casting, and be able to work thick weeds all with the same lure.

My 1 would be a 10" Believer. A second possibility is a big spinnerbait.

My Uncle, buys two or three of the same suick in the spring. He'll throw a double cowgirl for about 20 cast and switches back. repeat process maybe 3-4 times a day with a spinner bait as his third.

What he said. Based on the diversity of waters I fish day to day, too tough. Probably a minnow bait, or dive/rise jerk based on versatility, but I'm just as oft throwing something else.

Can I have a second color option? My one lure would be a Super Shad Rap, pearl shad for clear water, orange tiger for stained. Kdawg
