Mike G Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 F&S Top 50 Don't let this question be answered by comparison to how mant pairs of shoes is enough. Lures cost about 5- 15 dollars these days. Shoes cost at least 10 times as much. If you make that tradeoff you loose the battle. As the discussion of Ockham brought, out there are different lures for different conditions. The 5 or 10 lures, that I carried into the Quetico long ago, might not cut it today. Here'an article naming a top 50 Lures of All Time. How many do you have? What do you think. Here's the list in one place: Twister Tail on Ball Jig Daredevle Spinnie Rapala Mepps Aglia Johnson Silver Minnow Slug-Go Zara Spook Berkly Power Worm Original Gitzit Flatfish Storm WildEye Swimbait Rat-L-Trap Terminator T-1 Spinnerbait Gibbs Pencil Popper Needlefish Kastmaster Krocodile Little Cleo Lucky Craft Flashminnow Rooster Tail Panther Martin Cordell Red Fin Swedish Pimple Blue Fox Foxee Jig Rebel Pop-R K.O. Wobbler FoodSource Minnow Zoom Trick Worm Rapala Shad Rap Yamamoto Senko Hopkins Shorty Phoebe Lucky Craft Splash-Tail 90 Al's Goldfish Hot Shot Williams Wabler Hula Popper Jitterbug Stanley Flat Eye Jig Teeny Torpedo Bagley Balsa B Mann's 1-Minus Berkley Bat Wing Frog Hula Grub Snag Proof Frog Lunker Lure Buzzbait Culprit Tassel Lizard Uncle Josh Pork Frog Mepps Muskie Killer Castaic Trout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skappel1 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Great list of lures! My wife keeps asking me the same question every time I go to Bass Pro! You can never have enough. I am a tackle junkie and probably need to a shrink about it... or a fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob g Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 50 barely gives you options. Yellow Magic 1/4 oz in bone worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gillio Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Southern Pro Tiny Tube in Pearl worked on a flat 1/32 oz. jighead (preferably with eyes), add shot if needed, fished in a variety of ways. Inexpensive and deadly on big fish and small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-mo Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I counted and have or had 23 of 50. Bunch of stuff I never heard of like "Phoebe". I thought she was on Friends... A couple to add... sammy, swim jig (just ordered some more from Jonn). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene f collins Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have a back pack for the plastics, Over 100 crankbaits, 1 box that has around 50 spinnerbaits, 2 Big plano boxes of spoons, another 2 with Musky Killers, a vest for wading and looking at that list tells me i need MORE LURES!!!!

Mike G Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Personally I have the list covered though I might not have the exact brand. For instance, I do not have The Culprit Tassel Lizard though I have enough lizards to fill a tropical island. I missed some oldies like the Bass Oreno, Lucky 13, Lazy Ike, and River Runt though these might be thought of as collector baits. Where's the Spoonplug?

Gavin Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Cull all the spoons and inline spinners off that list and your down to 35 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm M Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 lists like that is why I don't pay attention to those magazines, not much bearing on reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
