kb here    when fishing you confidence bait   and you are having a hard time  getting a strike,  any where you go on lake , how much longer do you wait till you change baits.   and then wonder should i have thrown my best bait ?

For me it all depends on the water I'm on and the conditions.. I bank fish so I kind of run and gun until I get a hit, then work it over with another lure when things slow down or the bite stops... It's not one of those things where you just pick a spot and cast.. Gotta do a little leg work and find an interested party first or some interesting structure..

Original floating rapala.  Only good for smaller fish mostly but if there is any bite at all, it will come on a floating rapala.
