No one can have just 3 lures. They are worse than Lays potato chips!

darter, danny and a pencil

What he said.

A needle would be nice, but a good darter (one you can work shallow or deep) will work anywhere a needle will......and often better.

If I had to survive on what they would catch:

Redfin - bone or chicken scratch
White bucktail
Red Gill Rascal dropper

(but I sure would miss my needlefish)

Choosing only 3 lures is really tough. I guess I'd have to choose a medium howdy, a bottle plug, and a rigged eel.

Eels don't work anyways. Wood is the way to go, and if I could only have 3 plugs I would become a twitching junkie going through witdrawals but they would be a sinking pencil :rotf2: , a metal lip swimmer and a 3oz darter.

He didn't ask about "plugs", he asked about "lures".:devil2:

I still wouldn't consider a live eel a lure, but I'd consider a riggie one.

Can I have three live eels?
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

My answer would be, take the money from said 3 lures and spend them on eels...

FWIW, I carry 3 plugs max 95% of the time (as back-up to eels) just not the same 3 each night.

Most nights, 2 are redfins, 1 is a needle... if it is an outflow or a big heave on, 1 darter, 1 redfin, 1 needle.

This is too tough to answer, but 3 plugs that are Always in my bag are:

Loaded redfin, Superstrike needle, rigged eel (not artificial, I know... but you should always have one with you)
