Default Survival - If You Only Had One....

OK... The shit hits the fan and you and your families life depends on you catching fish... What's the one thing you hope you have in your tackle bag?

For me it would be a pack of Pink Power Worms... How about you?

Interesting question.

I'd want a shovel so I can dig for worms.

If we're talking artificial lures only, give me a 2" white grub on a 1/16 oz jighead.

It would be a small jig head maybe 1/8, to 1/4 ounce with a small chartreuse mr twister tail.. as basic as it gets.. With that small, very basic lure thats a part of every little kids bubble pack beginner "Zebco Spincast Fishing outfit", I have caught SMB, LMB, Walleyes,Pickerel, Pike, Channel Cats, Bullheads, Carp, Lake and Brown Trout, LL Salmon,, Crappies, Sunnies, Rock Bass,Yellow Perch, Suckers, Fallfish, and probably a few others I have forgotten. One time even hooked and lost a monster Muskie on a panfish sized twister tail that broke my line in fast heavy river current after a long, leaping battle, and spooling my cheap little spinning reel.. Might not be the ""best"" lure I have ever used, but that cheap little weird green twister tail, has been by far the most versatile and productive lure I have ever used in the fresh waters of upstate NY.. In a SHTF scenario, I hope I have hundreds of them on hand... bob

Hell yeah on worms! If I was ever starving they'd be the first thing I reach for to catch fish.
