I believe that the question was, pick one artificial, or live bait. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Fred. You're absolutely correct, I've been waitin for Greg to wade in to enforce the rule.. but we can see it would be pretty much hopeless.

Thanks Henry. I've done okay lately with minnows and small/largemouth bass.
I like fishing minnows also .Mostly fish them on new bodies of water or if I just want to relax and do some lazy fishing

I like using lures but have to admit it's hard to beat live night-crawlers for different types of fish.

I wish minnows were allowed here. I miss using them. They are defiantly my first choice for big fish. They are also free if you catch your own.

Senkos, and not a look a like either. It has to be a real senko. Even so, Keitech Swing Impact swimbaits, Jitterbugs and Whopper Ploppers are fun baits too and they catch fish!

Guys (and Gals),
I've bass fished for over 50 years in shallow grass lakes and deep clear lakes, waded running streams and southern swamps, while I love to throw jigs in various types and color combinations, if I could only have one bait, it would have to be a Yum dinger in Bama Majic or Bream... I don't know of a lake in North Alabama or South Tennessee that a dinger won't catch fish on... One of my favorite techniques for a tournament would be to get a limit with a dinger, then go to a jig for a kicker... I primarily throw jigs if I'm targeting smallies, but for all around bass fishing it would be hard to beat the dinger day in and day out... There's nothing wrong with many of the answers people have given here, because ultimately each individual should fish what they have confidence in, and the technique they have mastered for their own style and for the water they fish... The most important thing and the beauty of fishing is there is no wrong way, just do what suits you...

I checked to see what a "Yum dinger" is. Its just like a senko. Maybe a variation, but the pictures look like a senko.

Yep, it is. There are many others by different names. They're ALL stick baits like a Senko, and all fished the same ways.
