Good lures--great action. I like the walking plug with the exagerated aft weight. But, they're expensive enough to make you cry when a ladyfish wears through the leader.

Unless you are Roland "Oh Son" Martin and you get to write them off of your taxes.
:-D :-D :-D

Roland doesn't even have to write them off. He gets them for free. Have you noticed his shows have turned into infomercials? :roll:

Hmm?
10K +/- for a boat
15K +/- for a vehicle to pull it
1K +/- in tackle, electronics, etc to get started

$10.99 for a lure that could put the limit in the boat?

How much will you pay to catch a limit of trout :smt043

Chalk, sounds like we think alike. Add to what you listed "If you're afraid you're gonna lose a bait, you don't need to be fishin."

This from the man who wrote.....
Looking for a Gheenoe Classic (the big one) 15'6", prefer a piece of chit (cheap) one, something in bad shape (thats my price range )....Doesn't have to have a trailer or seats, just the hull....Even take one with a hole in it.....
:D

Chances are good that a big spanish or bluefish is not going to put a hole in the boat, or wreck my truck though. :smt023

I'd rather toss cheap stuff if it works. Last spring I caught a legal AJ on an Oreo cookie. They were busting anything we threw so I tried it for a laugh.
(Actually, it was a Dollar Store brand Oreo clone, Creme-O. They're less expensive)
