What are your favorite 3 lures? I am curious if there is a lot of common ground on this one, or if everyone has they’re own " lucky lure."
1.Green Jighead w/ 3" white/black curly tail.
2.Rapala Deep shadrap in Tenn Shad.
3.Gold Johnson Spoon Weedless/ w curly tail above.
That would be my 3 best. Of the 3 the Rapala any where I can. I just love crank baits. Cast, Trolled, Cast while trolling.
My favorite lure or lures, would be whatever I’m catching fish on at the time! It just depends on what I am fishing for. I use a lot of soft plastics, in tubes, curl tail grubs, salt sticks, drop shot worms etc.
I think mine would be as follows:
- Rapala countdown crankbait in a shad pattern.
- An aglia spinner.
- Last christmas my daughter gave me a cheap perch patterned lure from wally-world. It’s a renegade brand for about $1.97. I have caught several fish everywhere I have used it. The last fish was a 19’’ brown trout from Rockport. prior to that a 24 inch carp at echo. Aside from the sentimental value, it has proved to be an effective lure.
My dad says the best three lures are as follows.
#1 Dynamite
#2 Gaffing hook?
#3 Throwing net
J/K everyone is a wiseguy. [;)]
1 - Black/brown Rapala
2 - Black/green Wooly Bugger
3 - Chartreuse curly tail jigs
John

I actually have four:
- What the boat behind me is using
- What the boat in front of me is using
- What the boat to the left of me is using
- What the boat to the right of me is using
Just kidding, I have no favorites other than a relaxing time fishing with the old faithful worm and a bobber. Tried and true for many years and many species. Jigging my own creations would be a strong second.
1st: a #9 jointed rainbow rapala.
2nd:a 3/8 oz orange and hammered brass krockadile
3rd: a treble hook with a big ole hunk of sucker meat on it.
But i have to ask myself ,if thats all i need ,why is my tackle box as big as a suitcase?
Hmm… that is tough since the only lure I have ever caught fish with is foul hooking carp with a 3" black curly tail jig. 
1. Black 3" curly tail jig.
2. Carp Meat
3. 4/0 Circle hooks

I like what is working best for me that day. I have fly fished most of my fishing experience but my fishing buddy fishaddict is slowly changing my ways.
1 Mepps spinner
2 Crawdad
3 Velvetta Cheese (thats how it all started)
Guess this would kind of depend on what you are fishing for, but since I only know how to fish for trout…
I will only name one: Thunderbolt by Acme. Picked one up at KMart on a $1 clearance and have since gone through many, many more. I have caught more fish off that than any other lure I have used EVER.
I’m easy !
My top 3:
- The lure that worked yesterday.
- The lure that is working today.
- The lure that will work tomorrow.
trout summer casting: #1 spin’a’lure #2 black and white deardevel, #3 a red and white krockadile..
trout summer trolling: #1 perch flatfish #2 popgear and flatfish, #3 my very own make up of a spinner and minnow combo..
1-Tube Dudes jig’s.
2-Crawdad Shad rap.
3-Mepps Spinners(silver blade).
Tincanfsh
- 3" White/chartruse tube
- Size 4 Mister Twister curly tail
- Rapala Countdown Minnow - Perch
For trout
- 1/8 or 1/16 oz brown marabou jig
- #7 floating rainbow rapala, (but also I like the #7 jointed in perch or black and gold)
- #2 copper mepps, or black and gold panther martin.
I know that’s more than 3, but it depends on where I’m fishing. It also depends on the size of the fish present in the river, stream or lake that I am fishing in. No matter what though, I usually start with the jig.
For everything else, depends on where and what I’m fishing for.
-
Blue Fox Vibrax in size #2 or #3. Silver, Copper, Brown Trout patterns.
-
Panther Martin spinners. Silver, Copper, Bummble Bee Patterns.
-
Gitzit Microtube Jigs. Silver body, brown/blue/black head.
Only three kinds of lures I’d have in my tackle box if I didn’t pick up lures at places lile Willow Pond.
