  • Paddletail Swimbaits, Swim jigs, Jigs, Texas rigged plastics, tubes, a couple of walking baits and believe it or not, drop shot rigs.  Most all of that ended up inside one of these guys . . .

    I try to lose soft plastic and jigs... If you ain't losing them, you are NOT fishing in the right place.  

  • I lost so many jerkbaits the past year.  Probably 300 dollars worth...sigh

Spent Summer fishing Minnesota lakes so 1/4oz dropshot weights are top of my list.

3.5" swimbaits are close second due to Pike. 

5/16 drop shot weights

I echo the Minnesota snot-rockets... I lost plastics of every variety to them, if I had to count I’m sure it’s 100+ Senkos, Neko worms, neds, craws... 

I lost a lot of jigs.  I'm either pretty bad with getting jigs in and out of cover or pretty good, I'm not sure yet.

   Spoons ..... of course.  Jennifer Bustamante is gonna love to hear from me pretty soon.  jj

$$ wise it would be jerkbaits, numbers wise would be spinnerbaits.

This year I lost mostly jigs. Runners up would be Texas rigged plastics, paddle tail swimbaits, and lipless crankbaits.

I wouldn't have guessed this one.  Snags or bite offs?

I had a pretty good season as far as losing lures only losing a handful all year. As far as lures I went thru and need to restock definatly spinnerbaits. Between  smallies and pickeral up I Maine I can end up with 2-3 a day mangled beyond use. 2nd would be double wide beavers. The bottom of my boat is littered with these between July and oct. Also burned up a ton of buzzbait blades.

Plastics, lots of plastics. My plug knocker won Most Valuable Player this year.

Snags, one bite off.  

 

Not counting soft plastics, it would have to be Jackhammers lost to wood.

I used a lot of rubbercore sinkers as drop shot weights and lost quite a few.

This might sound crazy, especially here in the land of many pike and muskies, but I don’t remember losing a single bait all season, and that includes snags. I did do much more offshore, open water fishing where there usually isn’t as many obstacles to hang up on, but still, it was a banner year for keeping baits on the end of the line. ?‍♂️

I don't count 'losing' plastics as losing lures - I consider them consumables...you use them, you WILL lose them.

 

1/4 and 1/8 oz weights from drop-shots - otherwise...nothing lost.

I lost a few crankbaits:  Spro Rock Crawler, SK 3XD and 5XD, Berkley Dredger.  Also lost a few Dark Sleepers.

 

When cranking deep cranks, I usually lose them on deep timber.  It happens.  Must get the lure where the fish are or what’s the point?

 

Every year lots of 5 inch plastic worms and wacky hooks. I love throwing spinnerbaits when the wind blows.  Went through about 10 this year.  A few bite offs, a handful just broke due to catching a lot of fish and a few got mangled by toothy critters.  Lost quite a few swim jigs, but had stocked up previously so I don't need more.  I have already reloaded with about a dozen spinnerbaits. Will buy worms and wacky hooks and be ready.

8-10 Cotton Cordell spoons fishing timber. Stripers just love to zig & zag thru the trees.
