What are five basic baits for people without boats?

Question:
For those of us who don't have boats, or access to them, and have to walk or wade the shoreline what are five basic baits that we can bring with us that will cover most situations that we would run into?

Answer:
Zach my choices would be plastic worms, ,jigs, pop-r ,spinnerbait, and crank bait. These baits will cover all depths of the water and imitate all types of forage that the fish feed on. Remember when you choose a crank bait the longer the bill the deeper it will go. So if your in a shallow water lake or pond you want a shorter bill.

Thanks!
