Was chatting to a friend today about the Bass pro shop caterpillar baits they were excellent on this side of the world especialy the Lizard i wonder why Bass pro discontinued them did anybody else do well with them when they wre availible?

My father inlaw used to sware by them,even used to buy them in bulk.But I on the other hand could't get bit on them :-[

It's really interesting that you bring this up - I was sitting out on the porch the other morning watching the sun come up and noticed a 4" wooly caterpiller crawling up the side walk - he was black on both ends and sort of golden brown in the middle (divided equally into thirds).  It occurred to me, "if these are dropping out the trees around here ----".  So I picked up some 4" trick sticks from a local bait shop in a pumpkin color and plan to color in the head and tail black with a Sharpie.  Wonder if it will attract any attention from the fish?
