There is no question,

Historically the lure that has caught the most fish is the white bucktail....Variety wise, the same....variety in presentation style and variety in fish all over the world. Many many books on the subject of fishing have been written, most I have read refer to the simple bucktail jig as by far the number 1 artificial ever made. This is fresh and salt water both. Spoons aka metals (Kastmaster being one of the better ones in this category) have to be 2nd or third but all bow to the bucktail, it's not a debate its a fact.
