    I rely on a variety of lures.  There's not one lure that will do well in all situations!

    I agree. I have "go to" lures for every species. But, there is one lure I have that goes with me wherever I go. It is the Rapala goast (sp) pattern glass shadrap, size 4 (gsr4). That sucker is hot in rivers, lakes and ponds in every state I have fished in. But as the "Michigander" above stated, there are times when the conditions are not right for it!

    Bomber Long A shallow runner.  I like the silver & gold flash depending on whether it is sun shinny or cloudy.  Hard to find, newer version is in prism colors.  Majority of ten pound bass I've caught has been on this lure.  Lately, I've been going to the saltwater version which comes in 6 & 7 inch versions.  Not as many fish but the ones you catch are always nice--California influence from big lures.  I just can't make myself fish with lures 12 inches or bigger--at least not yet.  Uncle Tom
    I built my own lure company as a young man--thus the name UncleTomsJigs. It grew so well I decided to give it up and go fishing with family, friends and especially grand children. I became disabled as a United Methodist Pastor IN 2002 and retired here in Coastal Georgia on a 10 acre lake where I continue to fish despite my disabilities. My wonderful wife and I enjoy fishing together. God has blessed us in so many ways and we pray the same for you. I am excited about having so many new friends all over this great country.

    If I am just out for trout I always have a curley's supersonic in my box. an original hand made one from Curley. This is more of a local lure but it was tested years ago by the NAFC. The newr ones do not work as well in my opinion. If I am out for bass also or any other mixed bag including trout I always have a few rapalas both in floating and countdown in gold, silver, and rainbow trout.
