Fisherman as a group tend to have superstitions. Would a favorite fishing hat or rod & reel or even a favorite bait we'll use when all else fails be considered a superstition? I would say so. Spitting on the bait, holding your mouth right, carrying a certain coin in your pocket, kissing a fish, all superstitions. Who's to say just because we can't see or touch something doesn't mean it can't exist. We can't see or touch God, but he certainly exist and if he wishes it to be, our silly superstitions may be the truth for one person but not for another.
