thread poof gone!!!
I just wrote this, but here i go again. Is there really any reason to pay $15-$20 for a bait? I use x raps,thundersticks,and rogues. and still catch. Can LC,Megabass,and Jackall really work that much better? does a spro mcstick actually outfish an x rap? :-? Hopefully this one doesnt disappear.

what's happened to cali?
If you were bustin up 15+ lb bass on a secret spot would you make it well known? i certainly would try to catch all of the sows i could before letting that news flood the area.

Frogs, Toads?
I have never had a killer day on the lake with any of these types of baits. i would like to try the spro bronzeye frog though. i have tried the ribbits,horney toads,and scumfrogs. and they have produced very little. not that they dont work, they just dont work for me. i find for the ribbits they are more of a search bait. they locate fish but i get a lot of short strikes. i can go behind them with a devils horse or torpedo and catch. but in the slop? im sure they are great, just not for me.

Anyone else LOVE Berkley baits?
I am sorry and for all those berkley nuts out there, IMO berkley is over rated on the soft plastics. gulp , powerbait, does not produce any more for me than zoom, big bite baits, or bps baits.

Random Thoughts
I have read on here that you would get bummed if you lost a discontinued lure. i thought the same thing, but if you look hard enough you can still find them. rat l trap discontinued the brown eye shad(awsome on rayburn) ;)rat l trap, but there is a tackle shop called ann's tackle shop in jasper tx that still gets that color custom made for her. apparently she used to be a pro and bill lewis lures was one of her sponsors. so if you look hard enough its possible to still get.

Finding Bass
I will do 10 casts with the rigs that i think fit the situation. no, im not going to try a torpedo in 30' of water, but if i had to i would throw all 12 of my rigs to see whats there. i fish slow, i do not have a tournament mindset. i fish for fun and my personal best record. i have buddies that see dollar signs under the water im not one of them.

Random Thoughts
The way i look at it is, if your worried about loosing a lure you shouldnt fish. maybe you should collect but not fish. I honestley go fishing planning on losing a lure.If i dont, great. its just a loss that i am willing to deal with.
