Rooster tail

Dry hook with a fresh Maggot for stream trout.
For bass I like those rubber worms.
Panfish a jig backed with a maggot.
Trout blow up a nightcrawler and set on the bottom

It used to be a fiberglass fishing arrow. Forced feeding.

These days it's a wooly bugger in lots of different sizes and colors.

1/16 oz weedless jig with 2” grub tail. If I only had to be choice this would be it.

X2 it wouldn't have to be weedless for me. Tennessee shad color, if I only had one option. That would put food on the table. (Crappies, bluegills, walleye, etc...)

If I were out for just fun, 1/2 oz jig n pig, black and blue, for big bass.
6" live bullhead for big flatheads.
Sonny's Super Sticky, for big numbers of channel cats (orange doc's dip worm).
Dardelve Spoon 1oz. Red/White Stripe or 5 of Diamonds (nickle backs) for northerns.

#11 black and gold original floating rapala.

Coming how deadly everything down there is, I’d be afraid to stick my finger in that fishes mouth. Let alone being in a boat with 20’ crocs!

I am never without my little spoon box.
It contains small to large genuine Daredevil's red and white, frog green, five of diamonds.
Little Cleos are great too.
Thru the ice the Hali spoon with gold dropper chain is hard to beat.

Rapala Husky Jerk in Firetiger

If I had to choose just one it would be a Jig.

Funny how varied the replies are across the states / regions. Only time I've ever fished a spoon was for bluefish blitzing the beaches in NC.

Tipping anything with a maggot seems to be more of a cold water, Northern thing.

Any Bobby Garland baby shad in green or blue for Crappie (NOT croppie).

If I'm trying to catch numbers of bass, 4" watermelon Charlie Brewer Slider worm or Mann's 'Classic' spinnerbait. Especially smallmouth bass.

I don't venture West enough to get into the trout.

Jig all the way.

Johnson silver minnow needs to use a loose knot like a Rapala knot to free it up to move, and needs a piece of pork rind.

The old Hula Poppers were magic on an early summer evening. Others were plastic worms.......no weight......just cast it out and stop and go retrieve.

For rivers and streams..........I make my own spinners.........like a rooster tail........just colored beads and a blade.........bare hook. Will catch 10X more if you hang a piece of night crawler on the hook.
