What would be your one lure to target warmwater species? This includes everything, bass, bluegill, perch, crappie, walleye,wipers, white bass, stripers, northerns, muskies...... If you had one lure that you had to try to catch them all on, what would you throw? Also, I want to put this out there for your favorite fishing combo too. If you had to pick one setup to chase all of Utah's fish, what would you be fishing with? Spinning or baitcasting or even fly fishing? Just kinda trying to liven people up and see what your opinions are.

Ok, here's mine. A size 1 or 2 gold mepps spinner fished with a spinning reel on 6 lb test. I call that my "trip saver" because if all else fails, I usually hook up a couple with that set-up. (trout includued though)

Spinning rod and reel loaded with 8lb. line. A double tail 3" white twister on a 1/8th oz. round-head, wide-gap jig in either black or chrome.
Let's see
Crawfish
Channel Catfish
Bullhead Catfish
Walleye
Yellow Perch
Northern Pike
Largemouth Bass
Smallmouth Bass
Striped Bass
White Bass
Bluegill
Green Sunfish
Crappie
Carp
Suckers and/or Chubs
That's all the "warm" water I can think of that I've caught on it so far. Works great for every Trout species I've tried it on too.

There is only one! well maybe two. A tube jig will catch every thing that swims, in almost every situation. second choice would be a curl tail grub. A curl tail will catch everything as well. Spinning rod is the tool of choice, because it will work in most situations. Even if you get skunked, just be glad your not at work in some factory!!!!!!

No doubt - 3" pulse worm by Berkley. No, not 4" or 6", the very small nimble 3" guy. Colors are critical also, darker i.e. black, dark green, or camo. depending on where and what species. Now - the hooker - they've been discontinued!!![mad] Don't bother trying to find em, my buddy and I have bought out all the known web. site left overs. I just don't undertand why some lures are discontinued when they are sooooooo good. Must be because nobody found how good they were. 2nd choice, very small pearl curly tails on light tackle and jigs.

I have to agree that the tube jig is one of the most effective all around lures for fresh/salt and all species.
Specifically, I'd take a 3" gitzit on spinning rod, 8lb test (its not as much fun if you have TOO strong a line when one of the bigguns grabs it). It also seems to me that I catch consistently larger fish on tube jigs than on any other similar-sized lure.
I put my tube jigs in an oil/sea salt mixture and it seems to make a real difference, either that or I've just convinced myself it does.

For me it`s a maribu jig. Black 1/8 oz with a white or yellow eye. (for all utah waters) From Powell to the Gorge and all rivers and lakes in between, a real lethal lure! Warm and cold water species, it catches everything.

Ha! Thats easy. I'd take my 6'6" Avocet spinning rod combo filled with 6# Vanish. My lure of choice would be a 1/8 oz. inch long gitzit. I've caught every species I've ever caught on them things, besides a big fat sucker. Give it a month, though, and I'll get one of them on it, too.

ITS OF COURSE A JIG. 4 INCH TWISTER TAIL WHITE OR GREEN. JIGS CATCH ALL FISH IN ALL BODDIES OF WATER FROM THE SMALLEST STEAM LARGEST RIVER AND YES THE OCEAN IS GREAT WITH JIGS..

Most of my fishing these days is on lakes and reservoirs from a pontoon boat. I like to use a 9' 6wt fly rod with type 3 sinking line. The good old "Wooley Bugger" has never failed me on this set up.

I'll take the 3/16 oz black with red eye lead head with a 3" curly tail. I can flip that off of my 9' Seeker ll Inshore rod and Newell 220 p series reel with 6lb line and catch many different species in fresh or salt water.[cool]

I would have to go with the good old nightcrawler, or crawler/worm setup.

Leaky, dont give up so easy.
Bring me one of these hookers.
You know what I do for a living dont you?
I bet if I get a hold of the lure, and machine a mold, you could talk maniac into pouring up those lures for you for the rest of your life.
Its all about the molds. Once you have those, all you need is a plastics guy.
And we all know maniac is the best local plastics guy there is.
But to say my part in the discussion, the answer has to be the tube jig.
There is not a species around that wont attack it willingly in all conditions.
Tubes in various sizes and colors are regarded as one of the most effective lures, and a staple in virtually all the top anglers tackle boxes across the contry.
