Well...that's an interesting question. One way to look at it is: What lure would you pick if it meant your survival? Military survival kits typically included either a plain, bare hook (and a length of fishing line) or a bucktail jig...or both. They're the two most versatile pieces of equipment because you can bait either one with whatever you've got at hand to entice fish to bite...and if it comes down to a matter of you've GOT to catch fish or you die, my guess is that most of us will want to get right back to basics, i.e., the hook & worm. I sure would.
