I have a pop r that has half the paint off and the base is like a bone color, should i scrape it off too make it all bone? No other popper in my box catches fish like this one. I really dont want to trash it.

I love a bait with lots of battle scars. If someone sold a bait with what I call a "bite ring" pattern on the belly I'd buy them. Some of my favorite baits look like this:
Is it spring yet??

I have an old chrome/black Super Spot that looks like it got into a battle with a roll of concertina wire.....and lost. Paint is gone from the nose to the eyes, sides have tooth marks up the kazoo, along with various other scratches, nicks, etc. That lure still catches 'em, with or without a perfect paint job.
The older I get.....the better I was.

Change out the hooks when needed and keep fishing it. White or bone is a good color.
Here's a pointer 128 that keeps on ticking (catching)

The two lures at the bottom look like a Slender Pointer and a Pointer.
