There are literally thousands of different fishing lures on the market. Many are designed for use in specific conditions to catch specific species. While those specialized lures will greatly improve your chances of having a successful weekend fishing trip at a familiar fishin hole, I don't feel they are the best choice for survival.

I would rather have multi-purpose lures that work well in a variety of conditions to catch a variety of species. My two all time favorites are the 1/4 ounce silver Kastmaster, and the 1/6 ounce silver Rooster Tail. I have multiples of each in my survival fishing kit, in case one or more gets lost.

Any recommendations for other lures?
