If I could only have ONE, it would probably be a chatter bait....because I could fish it fast on the surface like a topwater if I had to....I could fish it mid-column like a spinnerbait if I had to....or I could let it go to the bottom and polish rocks with it if I had to.

I hope to never have to relegate myself to ONE lure, but if that's all I had, at least I could fish top/mid/bottom of the water column and find fish. That bait is pretty versatile.

Kinda like that "If you were stranded on a desert island and could only pick one woman..." question. LOL
