Almost as good - Tarpon4me - 02-28-2007 Finding menhaden can be a pain sometimes. This is one of the lures I found to be very effective: [url "http://www.saltwatersportsman.com/saltwater/photogallery/enlarge/0,26612,1592329-2,00.html"][/url] It's a Mann stretch imitator. It looks almost like the real thing, and it dives to depths of 25' by itself. Pretty impressive, I must say.

[] Just busting your cocanuts. [cool] Na, it's one of the better lures. I tried the Williamson Live baits before, and I wasn't impressed with the performance. The first thing I tried was the "live ribbonfish." At first, I thought they were pretty cool; but cool doesn't catch fish. At just 2 knotts, the lures weren't tracking strait and were more trouble than they were worth. They claim 4 knotts. WHATEVER I say. [unsure] I'm a big fan of spoons and diving plugs anyhow. They always produce fish.

I usually have a few choice lures that I prefer. But i'll try anything once if the idea is from a good source. So, I suppose i'll have to get a couple and try them.

It's too bad that Mega Bait is going out of business.[unsure] [signature]
