Want to know what I would take to any given lake not knowing the current conditions, water temps, or anything else about a given body of water? Well here they are:

1. A black , blue and purple jig with matching trailer

2. A 1/2 oz black buzzbait

3. Shad pattern Bandit 200 series crankbait

4. A 1/4 oz shakey head jig with a 6 inch green pumpkin straight tail worm

5. A black and chrome chug bug

6. A texas rigged watermelon candy brush hog

7. Shad pattern 1/2 once spinnerbait with a silver willowleaf and a gold colorado blade

8. A Caroline rigged green pumpkin centipede

9. A weightless jerkbait either a zoom fluke or a sluggo in a shad pattern or simply solid white

10. A 3/4 once green pumpkin Football jig with twintail grub

Not all of these baits are going to work on all bodies of water. But, armed with all ten there shouldn’t be much water anywhere that you cannot at least get a good start on figuring out the fish. Does this mean I keep ALL of these handy all the time. Not necessarily, but if I am going to a new body of water and starting from scratch then you can bet I will have all ten and possibly tied on and ready. So if you are starting from scratch some where start with these and good luck.
