One lure to rule them all

[fishnate]

Very interesting the different perspectives. I have hundreds of lures, dozens of categories, types, sizes and colors. My most successful lure in my boxes has been a #8 Rapala X-Rap. I've caught largemouth, smallmouth, wiper, bluegill, perch, crappie, trout, pike, etc. However, if I had to choose one lure for all situations - lake, stream, open water or ice - I'd choose a small 1/16 oz feather or hair jig in black. To me it has the most versatility for all situations. I've caught a ton of fish on it and it usually gets at least a few biters. How I would hate to be limited. I love having lots of options so I rarely go home skunked.
