I have what seems like either a goodluck rod that always seems to make all the catches at my pond or the other rod I bring out (the nicer one) is cursed/hexed. Same lures, same day, but it won't catch but maybe 1 bass for every 10-12 I catch with that cheap $75 Shimano fiberglass rod/spinning combo. This other part is not really superstition, but I have my best luck when I walk down to the pond (half a block from my home) just to try a new lure out. Boom...that planned 20-mnute session turned into an hour of dropping it in and pulling them out. The next week, I get a couple hours to fish and I'll get skunked or maybe a dink.

Normal hit = "here we go" or "boom" Big hit = "BOOM!!" followed by "There she is!" If there are any bystanders = "Fish on!" (this is something I just started doing when my daughter is fishing with me.)
