Since the walleye guys have their own forum I thought this would be an interesting question.
If you could only have one Crankbait the entire open water period what would it be? Now remember….only one.
This was actually really hard to answer because of the many different tournament locations I fish in a year.
My answer:
#10 or #12 Husky Jerk in Firetiger (Shallow not Deep)
Only one now 
#5 Chartruese/white Shad Rap – all others need not apply.
Tim
#7 Black Gold Sunset Flicker Shad.
#5 JSR in red craw….
Smithwick Rattlin Rogue in chrome with black back and orange belly!! 
#7 Shad Rap fire-tiger
#7 fire tiger jointed shad rap long lined or leadcore 
Mine would be a #5 shad rap goldfish. But Derek talked me into buying some Salmo’s & I just received my order today so maybe I’ll change my answer. 
I will pick a number 7 Shallow Shad Rap Firetiger. Of course I am going to need some leadcore or downriggers.
Cotton Cordell Wally Diver in white with a pink head. 
Phew! You had me worried there. I was thinkin maybe there was a new law or something. One c-c-c-c-c-crankbait??!!! See, I can’t even say it. 
I have admitted my addition, I attend crankbaitoholics anonamous religiously, but that does not mean I am cured. If I could only have 1 crankbait, I’d probably just end it all.
Not even Eve could resist the fruit!
One crankbait, who ya tryin to kid???!!! 
You’ll get my Pearl #5 JSR when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.
#12 shallow husky jerk. Tennessee shad
The original no.7 bomber (not the cheap plastic ones of today- Shame on you Bomber!) Through the years this crank produced big time for river eyes and bass. Chatreuse-orange belly.
#5 Jointed Shad Rap in Firetiger
hmm – I have caught more species of fish on Rebel craws than any other crankbait model combined… not sure on how they list their sizes but the ones that are 2.5 to 3 inches long with the shallow bill and the color would be either olive or chartreuse with an orange belly… that said I am an addict to many of those listed above (not the Salmos, yet…) but just to throw some diversity into the mix these cranks are another to consider anyway… Chuckles
Tough deciding this one. Would have to go with a #5 or #7 Shadrap Deep Diver in Firetiger.
Thanks, Bill
#5 Jointed Shad rap in Perch and man am I glad I don’t have to use just one crankbait.
What the heck would I put in all those other compartments in my boat?
Boog
5 shad rap blackback gold body orange on the belly. 
I can’t answer this question. Sorry. I couldn’t use just one.
#5 Fat Rap. Original Craw color. I don’t think there’s a place that has water where it won’t work. 
#7 JSR in walleye pattern
It is a pretty tough question. When I was thinking about it I was thinking about casting and trolling in the spring and fall and of course, you would need snap weights or lead core in the summer.
#7 Shad Rap.
-J.
Its a good question…..For all my fishing, I would have to go for a #5 Deep Shad Rap (firetiger).

That is what I was debating between my choice yours.
#7 glass shad rap. any color as long as it’s blue.
#7 Shad Perch
#5 JSR Blue/Silver/Orange. Loved these in a straight 5 too, but they discontinued ’em.

Definitely…I think 50 percent or more of my fish were caught on this on the Mississippi last season.
