Red and white Daredevle. No idea how its so damn effective. Seems to work when nothing else will.

For trout, a small crappie tube jig in pumpkin seed or whatever closet matches the bottom of the lakes color, tipped with a trout worm in red, mimics a saun Jaun worm and also a Thomas buoyant spoon lure are killer most places, and don’t ever discount a nightcrawer with a marshmallow in a lake or salmon eggs on a mosquito hook in a small stream, all lethal in the right circumstances. For striper a drop shot rig with live shad. Bass depends on the time of year and the lake your on every time, coulda killed with it last week and skunked the next, but my go to is a roboworm margarita mutilator Color whacky rig or drop shot. These were on a crappie tube with trout worm, below Hoover dam on the Colorado river. It draws strikes when nothing else seems to, gotta use light gear, light line always for trout, go up from 4lb to 6lb and you aren’t getting bit half as much. Maxima ultra green line every time for me

Somewhat depends upon species of fish, but...
Largemouth - Gene Larew Salt Craw - Color dependent upon water color/conditions.
Largemouth, Smallmouth, Crappie, Sunfish - Road runner - Color mostly dependent upon water color/conditions - but white or silver is my most common for the plastic body or a combo of chartruese and silver
Catfish - nightcrawler because doesn't stink like punchbait - unless you let them die in the heat in the truck for a few days...LOL

My most versatile lure is a Mepp's spinner. #1-3 for inland trout. #3-up for bass, pike and even perhaps a musky.
Rooster tail, Ned Rig with green pumpkin TRD, Green pumpkin senko and white superfluke can almost catch a fish on any body of water with these baits
These rigs with 1/2 a night crawler slay about any fish under 3 pounds. I use for trout mostly. Thank me later.

Purple worm in a texas rig also for anything from a little after sun rise to sunset.
Black double jointed jitterbug large size any other time.
I've caught more fish on those two lures than everything else I have combined.
used to go to a fishing show and there was a vendor there called The Worm Bar. Me and my father used to get grocery bags full of the purple worms because they sold by the pound. I havent seen them in about 10 years now and I still am working through our stock of them.

Almost the same as the OP. A watermelon fluke with a weighted hook has been my go to for largemouth for years.
White ice is my go to color for flukes. Depends on the water I am fishing as to what I am going to use, on the deck I will always have these rigged and ready to throw
fluke - white or white ice
spook - black/chrome
swim jig with trailer - white
football or arckie jig - blue/black or pumpkin
jerkbait - shad
t-rigged creature - blue/black or watermelon
square bill crank - sexy shad
I'm simplistic. If I don't catch a fish on the below, I go home.
bubble gum trick worm
blu/chart h&h spinnerbait
f7 rapala

Are we talking lake or river/creek? Water color will determine color of lure. Moving water or still water will determine lure.
I also presume your talking about a bass lure and not something like a trout fly.
