Baits you wish you never bought...

[plowboy]

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

[ukbassman]

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.

I too have the whole set of helicopters. My father bought them back when, he has passed and so I keep em for a keep sake. Almost dumped em once for the box but didnt. I have never tried em so if ya catch fish on em let me know if ya dont mind.

for me it was the talking jig and the tlking on-liner by bill dance. not to mention spending about $200.00 on fat free shad's that didn't work. lol

oh by the way i'll give you $5.00 each plus postage for them luckycraft baits.

You don't like those Fat Free Shad??

Do you have any of the large "citrus Shad" ones? I lost my last one, and can't find them anymore. I've got fish over 6 lbs on this lure. I have a one of the white ones left, lost one the last time I fished. A 15 lb+ drum swam off with it.

This bait had Bill Dance's signature, kind of chartruese on the bottom, and blue on top. Great bait... wish I could find more of them.

Got two of them for you Danny....I won't even charge you for the Bill Dance signature...lol. Email me your snail mail address and I will send them to you the next time I am at the post office.

[Danny]

Thanks Dave, you have mail.

I just want to say how much I appreciate all the help I'm getting on this. I visit other boards, not fishing in nature, and it is all fighting and back stabbing. I think this speaks to the character of fishermen.

Also I think this proves that if we get the get together thing to happen, we have a great opportunity to help one another by having some baits out for swapping around!!

Thanks again,

Danny

no i traded almost all of them to a friend for a bunch of norman's. he gave them to his dad but i could ask if he might still have the one your looking for because i too know how it is to lose a confidence bait and not be able to get any more.

I'm looking for the bomber fatA 4f in the baby threadfin shad pattern.
