Hey,

I want to know what you think the best all around bait is! By all around I mean the bait that will catch the variety of fish. I also want to know what you think the best bait is for popular fresh water fish such as, bass, perch, crappie, walleye, pike, musky, carp, trout, salmon and even sunfish! I probably missed a fish but hey, I am still learning!

Cheers

I would say the good old fashion worm is the way to go, but hey most of you know better then me:)

Usually different baits for different species. Same with color, size ect.

[georgianbaydrifter]

size three mepps in silver or gold is pretty versatile

[hammercarp]

Worms, canned corn and the best all round artificial is a jig.

wolly bugger? sizes 20- 2/0? taken many types of sportfish on them

[Rainbow]

if we're talking all around versatility you can't really go wrong with minnow imitations. The gulp minnow comes to my mind.

Hey,

......... the best all around bait .............that will catch the variety of fish.

In the following order, they are the best bait that will catch anythig

1) Dynamite
2) Two bare wires hooked to a 2000 V generator
3) Poision
......
......

Beside kidding, worms are the almost guranteed bait that if can be used as a fish indicator! If there is any fish in the body of water, they go for worms

Just dropped 80 bucks on this years stock of silver and gold aglias, one of the best search baits for Bass, Pike, Trout etc. Nothing spins better than the blade of the aglia.

For all of the above species the best bait ever is the SLAMMER.

Corn catches an amazing variety of fish besides carp.Different kinds of panfish and trout will fall for it , catfish, suckers and more.

a jig and a grub get's fish almost as much as a worm on a hook

[manitoubass2]

Without any hesitation I would use a 1/8oz black jig with a black/silver fleck tail 3" grub

[georgianbaydrifter]

black and silver is good colour combo ... walleye jigs, jiggy buggers, cranks you name it you need to have it in black and silver
