Favorite fly, lure, jig, or bait

I find myself always telling people if I had to survive on with what I caught and only had one fly to do that with it would be a size 4 purple "Articulated Leech". How about the rest of the Ifisher's out there if you had to "survive" with one fly, lure, jig, or bait what would it be????

Seeing as how some things work some of the time and others none of the time, my go to bait would have to be, TNT! :grin: :grin:

I would have to say nightcrawler. You can catch steelhead, sturgeon, trout, bass, catfish ect... You get the point.
Running a close second would be a pink and white first cast jig. :tongue:

A 300' gillnet. :depressed:

O.K. that's not my favorite Lure or bait. I believe that an Adams dry fly would have to be the ticket. It looks like almost every mayfly. I'd have to be able to use various sizes though.

a rainbow colored marabou jig. I read somewhere that jig is the most popular lure (in various forms) for game fish in the USA.
