Baits you wish you never bought...

[Stonewall2002]

What baits have you bought, used and later wished you had never wasted your money on? Include color...

Keep on chuckin'

I'm glad I didn't buy Roland's helicopter lure or the banjo minnow.

I am sure Buzzking will second that motion on the helicopter lure. He still catches lots of flack for that waste of $30. However it always provides for a good laugh. Cant say much myself though, I did buy a set of banjo minnows when I was a younger pond fishermen. I caught some fish on them in farm ponds but i had retired them by the time I graduated to fishing larger bodies of water. Oh well, we all have to learn our lesson.

what you talkin bout bassman, i love the helicopter, just a little ahead of its time. Im gonna bring it back this year, it just so happens I still have all of them I bought over 10 years ago, imagine that. Just seen them the other day, gonna get em back out and start whackin the fish on em this year, you just wait and see, so once again thanks roland for such a great bait. Also, I have a friend who bought those kicktail lures, wow what a purchase those were, three baits for 30 bucks, two of them acted like rigomordus had already set in on them and the third come through the water on its side, now thats a purchase.

The Dancin' Eel from Bill Dance.

That stupid bait that Bill Dance endorsed about 20 years ago that looks like a big tadpole. Its a plastic bait with one treble hook hanging off the bottom of the round part and has a flat, eel like tail. I never caught a thing with it. Unfortunately I bought two of them and I still have one in the package, unopened! What was that stupid thing called?

[Cobra190]

Never actually bought any, but have recieved as gifts from unknowing family the dance's eels, banjos, helicopters and the flying lure kits. All cruelly became gifts to young fishermen thinking they were getting something as i clean out my tackle box. Did try the flying lure under some docks on Herrington, didn't work!!

I didn't buy the Dance's eel, but the best I can remember you could send something in and get them free. Whatever my time was worth sending for them was still more than they were worth.

All 5 of my Lucky Crafts, which I did not buy but actually won fishing a tourney last year, for they all #####. Go ahead everyone and bash away, but not worth the money even if they were free.

Of what I paid for, several in-line buzzbaits and x-rap jerkbaits which look very pretty in the case but that is as far as it goes.

Tight Lines

Want to sell those LC's? I'll pay the postage.

I have got to get me one of those two foot long buzzbaits that Bill Dance endorses.
