Freshwater
What are the best "do-it-all" lures for all fish, regardless of species? I'd imagine you'd have to err on the side of smaller lures to make them effective at catching panfish, small trout, etc.—big fish will still eat small things but small fish can't eat something bigger than their mouths.
So, how about a list of LURES, not bait, that can catch just about any freshwater species, from trout to bass to crappie to stripers to pike...
Roadrunner
Rat-L-Trap
Plastic grub/jig/worm
Mepps squirrel tail spinner
some of these smaller plastic swimbaits from companies like Berkley or Storm would be good too...
others?

I like Berkly plastic worms(5-8") and swimbaits for Washington bass fishing.will those salmon fishing?
that's a pretty solid list. If i had to add something else to it i guess i'd say a spinnerbait. small ones are great for crappie and other panfish as well as trout, original sizes are great for bass and walleye, jumbo sizes can catch pike muskies and stripers.
A second one to add to that is a black wooly booger.
rapala husky jerk in the smallest size, tackles anything from panfish to bass or brown trout
h&h spinner, best all around bait for my neck-o-woods
The Panther Martin is a versatile lure for many species in all different areas. I have had great success with these lures.
rooster tail, it will catch anything
I have caught everything northern, trout, bass, even panfish on a Rooster Tail. However, ruling out panfish, since no-one is after those little bait stealers, A large sized Imitation perch rapala with neutral buoyancy will slaughter most aggresive game fish!
i like rapala lures but the banjo minnow works great 2
The double tailed,skirted grub is a must have where im from.
Did everyone see this article on Outdoor Life? Pretty good read since we're talking bait. http://www.outdoorlife.com/articles/fishing/2007/02/catch-your-own-bait
Acme lure's Little Cleo spoons are my all round lure, caught everything from trout to smallies on em, great action and flash.
