If you only had one bait??

this going to ssound funny but i would have to say a yellow body bettle spin. It will catch anything that swims. That is the bait i always kept in my survival kit when i was in the army; because that is the bait i used as a kid. I caught a ton of fish on this littlr bait.

No 9 Original floating rapala in black/silver. Have caught more fish on this than any bait I own, also a black/yellow stripped beetle spin is also hard to beat.

I would have to say a double willow spinnerbait. 1/2 oz fish any depth you want.
