If you could only have one lure and color on the ice with you what would it be?

For me, I'd choose a 1/32 ounce green/ chartreuse tinmouth torpedo.    It works from big gills to walleye.

I figured I would post a couple pics of my favorite moon jigs. The paint holds up good against the hemostats. Which is a must cause fish inhale these. These are all size 10 & 12. They catch anything with with fins. Well as long as the fins don't have whiskers. ;D. Some of these are 4-5 years old and the paint is beat up but they still catch fish. I got lucky and my local bait shop just got some new ones in.

Okay so I will admit this question haunted me for a while but I have narrowed it down to two easy choices, it's just choosing which one that is tuff so I am going to mention both:
Bentley Bumble Bee Jigs in the second to smallest size any color
Fiskas N24 Balance jigs for short strikes.

I have to say as much as I love hooking into pesky light biting fish with my N24's picture below. The Bumble bees are just proven to outfish any other panfish jig I have tried to day.

Bentley wins..go Poland!

I can see you have an expensive taste.  :) I seen an article that bentley had a box of jigs at a show that was valued at around $37,000.00. It was just 1 plano box full of there jigs. I would hate to fall thru the ice and lose that box. I have a few of the bumblebee jigs and they do work very well like you said. I just hate spending that kind of money on one jig. With the lack of ice the last 2 seasons I have been playing around in my shop mimicking a lot of lures. I fish a lot of shallow water so I dont really need the tungsten to get it down. I poured some marmooskas with lead and used 2 part epoxy to glue some swarovski crystals I got off of ebay and painted the jig multi-colored with the airbrush. They look pretty good but need some more work before I would show them off . lol. I have a box full of the regular fiska jigs but I have never fished any of their balance lures like the N24. What are your opinions on them and how do you like to fish them? live bait or plastics or none at all? Bait 1 hook or both? Front or back hook?
