Expensive Lures

[sweetwater]

I wish we could do a 100% true instant replay test.

Throw a cheap bait, catch a massive smallie, then put it back in exactly the same spot, zap it's memory, and cast him an expensive bait and see if he hits it too.

How would we really, actually, know?

You can crash test 2 exactly same cars, at the same speed, and see different occupant results with and without seatbelts. Wish we could do that with fishing lures.

Me, I pitch what I have the most confidence in, and what I can afford to replace if it works.

I agree 100%. Fishing a bait with confidence is just as important as what that bait is. If you don't think a bait will catch fish it probably won't.
