One Lure

[Canuckbass]

Cabin fever is settling with most of us anticipating early ice out and get the boats wet. A fun question for everyone as we all fish differently and lots of different methods that we've all had fun on the water with.

If you had ONLY ONE lure to fish with for multi species, what would it be??? Live bait rigs allowed.

[Canuckbass]

If I was stuck with only being able to use one bait for rest of my life it would be a tube. Every species eats them, even walleye. You can mimic a craw or minnow, rig with jighead or Texas rig weedless, or weightless. You can jig, pop, jerk, topwater its endless what you can do with a tube.

I don't use straight white a lot, I prefer a smoke colour, pumpkinseed or green pumpkin.
You can add rattle and load with scent.

Just because I fish the Ottawa river so much... A frog... a red lunkerhunt frog... pike, bass, musky, even got a walleye once on one... top water is so much fun.

Jointed Red crawfish Shad Rap , size dependent on what Im after

[Rockpile]

Rapala perch shad rap #sr07. Never fails on walleye and pike like it too.

[Canuckbass]

Shad Raps have always been great on spring pike.

Jig and a worm

Probably not to many fly fisherman out there that use flies on Kipawa  but it is a  truly challenging technique. 8 foot fly rod ,lead core line, 20 feet of mono leader silver streamer fly or perch coloured, trolling over deep water in the evenings will result in some of the best fishing anyone could ask for. Two to three colors will get you in the  strike zone. Also catches trout and pike. One of my favourite ways. Looking forward to another year!

Spoon....it can be fished more ways then any other lure

[T-Bone]

Jig and body...but I get to upsize or downsize based on what I'm chasing...

a 4 inch GOLD Williams Wabler-------------catches pike, walleye and trout

Certainly some classics still catching lots.

We should buy one of each lure and a tackle tray and make a "kipawa starter kit".  And a kipawa "all you will ever need" kit , and a "kipawa  recommendations from the experienced fishermen" kit.  Put them on eBay and Amazon and make enough retire and .... try every lure in our kit!
