Just one plug
Another thread got me thinking......if you had to fish the season with just one plug (no rubber, bait, metal, dynamite) what would you choose? What color? Why?

Just sticking to wood...
Yellow darter, red head... hands down my #1 confidence plug. Fishes great in rips, big water, or twitched slow on calm nights.

If this question was more site and time specific I could answer the query, one plug all season in a single color and size is impossible for me to rationalize.
Those that could answer this are and must be truly blessed for doubt does not hinder them as it does me.

Why even try.........

Yellow Danny with a white belly. Works in the day and at night, rough or calm water, in fast or slow water... If I could only have one that would have to be it...

Just a hypothetical question, Steve,...........for my part I'd go with a yellow/white medium danny. Good day or night most places and both big and small fish like 'em. |

Well if it was survivability (i.e. desert island) I'd say white bucktail jig.

I would have to pick a plug that would be versatile since you are saying we can only choose one. Depending on where I fish also comes into play. If I only had one plug , then I'd have to choose something that would work in at least a few of the places I fish. I don't really use needles in the canal and very few times from a boat , and they tend not to work that well in daylight so my choice would have to be a spook as long as it is one of my own built to what I need it to do. It could double as a slowly retrieved needlefish at night, it works on top several ways at first light and during the day, they work great from the boat, they do things that swimmers won't do. The only drawback is they won't go deep so I hope I have a jig and rubbah with me also 
The color would be pearl belly, light blue head because I have had great luck with one like that. It will imitate a squid, herring, mackeral most any baitfish if I want it to. I wouldn't choose a danny myself because I can do so much more with a surf howdy.
no pikie on your poll?  |

seeing as eelskin plugs are not all "natural",jigs are not plugs, If I had just one plug ... I'd choose one of my slow sinking 6" needles, olive over white.......the versatility of the needle and what it does or can represent gives me options other plugs dont...
I could fish it "nekid" on top as a popper using a rapid retrieve if the fish were on top, add wraps of solder around the body or tail to change the weight for adjustment to local conditions to fish deep in rough or fast water....
or, I could fish it the way I ntended it to be fished if the conditions are to my likings....I've taken alot of big fish on my own needles, hard to turn my back on them in my time of need....

I said spook, but mine sink so they are not limited to on top. Flap it's only a poll no one is going to make you use just one.

This question reminds me of my striper swiper addiction which thousands of hours on the internet and 2 crates full of custom plugs and rubber can't break me of. Sad but true. White 1 1/4 striper swiper. Because its second nature, and there are lots of ways to make it dance.

1)pencils
2)needles
3)bombers
Just like the diverse ways I can work me pencils.
Color is a tuffy, but I think white is the most versatile.

Just 1?

If Bomber goes out of business I am going to rob Joey G's stash. He buys every black bomber we get in the shop before I even know they are on the shelves
