What Is The Best Freshwater Fishing Lure That You Can Buy At The Store?
I have been Fishing for 13 years and still have not found a fishing lure that is almost guaranteed to catch a fish.

No lure is guaranteed to catch fish all the time. If that were the case we would not have tackle bags and boxes stuffed w/ baits. You should find the lures you have confidence in and apply them to the proper situations so they produce. You can load the boat one day with a lure and not catch another fish for a year on it. Fishing is fun but it is also a learning experience.
Raprunr hit it, the Rapala is the #1 lure. It has caught more world record fish than any other lure.
There are a variety of styles and colors but for all around fishing success, try a #7 floating silver/black back. Like he said, the original rapala.
Be sure to use a split ring or loop knot to give it the best action. You can use this on the surface, popping it like a wounded bait fish, you can retrieve it fast or slow to make it swim (actually it has a built in action) or you can troll it. You can even weight it like a carolina rig and drag it along the bottom.
A great lure that has produced for me, grouper, snapper, and kings down in the Fla Keys, all the way to Rainbow Trout in the Mountains of North carolina. All species of fish, a few turtles, and a bird or two.
My brother-in-law once said I could take a pee in the woods, cast my rapala in the puddle and get a bite 2 out of 3 times!
The easy answer here is in my name….RapRunR….Rapalas are almost guaranteed in any situation. I live on the Allegheny River in NW PA and use these 75% of the time. The original rap in black/white is a proven fool proof lure that gets results. Of course i have many many color variations and sizes, floaters, sinkers, jointed and suspending plus the shad raps to cover any situation of depth or current.
I agree 100% with Ken S.. You just cant go wrong with a rooster tail, just make sure you use a ball bearing swivel to avoid line twists. Of course theyre are no guarentees when it comes to fishing, but a white Rooster tail works on just about everything in fresh water.
I agree with everyone that said the rooster tail. The rooster tail or the curly tailed grub are my two favorite baits. They catch bluegill, bass, crappie, trout, maybe a walleye or two. Very very good baits.
well if you are a plastic bait kinda person if you wanna catch bass a popper bait or any types of spinners or if you dont mind spending some money go buy the banjo minnow they work for me i caught a 6 pound 2 oz bass last year with it
Forget the lures. Go with simple night crawlers. That is just about a lock to catch you something. Good luck.
worms
i catch big fish on worms
i catch small fish on worms
i usually go cat fishin for big 1′s
Depending on what fish your looking for. I fish for carnivore fish(Salmon, trout ETC.) and almost every time a sliver blue fox lure works wonders.
No guarantees but I would go with a jig and or a jig spinner. With live bait or gulp.
Silver and Black Rapala. White topwater popper or the Money Minnow works well for me.
try using a rooster tail spinner
