I didn't mean to open up that can of worms. I've looked into Spoonplugging a few times but I've always come across people saying it doesn't apply and much of the information is not correct. To be clear, I only wanted to know for myself because I may get the book.

No problem man.  We all enjoy a good can of worms.  It's what gets us through the winter.   Good discussion!

In defense of Bill Murphy's book, our tackle changes over time, but our approach to structure doesn't. Just when I think I got that green fish figured out, it throws me a curve ball. It is then that I think of the wisdom behind his words on page 47.

True, today's bass anglers don't troll anymore. 

What both Perry and Murphy offer besides thier lure presentation techniques is bass behavior and that never changes. Look beyond the lure presentations and gather up the knowledge nuggets that will last you a lifetime.

I love trolling for bass
