i buy virtually all my baits used anymore,i have well over 300 old shad raps,some look rough most have never been thrown,most less than 3.00,most came from bassboat central,i like the old wee r and and old model a's and bandits.i refuse to pay what the stores get for them,and i can catch alot of fish on them old baits,as far as finish i don't go for uppedy looking paint jobs,some that i catch the most fish on are what i painted with spray cans.the name brands are probably better day in day out,but i have some ol cheap wal mart baits i catch em on too.since i don't fish tournaments much i don't really worry about it.so if any of you guys have some old model a's and wee r's that look very rough,i would love to have them.
