[cool][#0000ff]Think about it. Why do they have to spend so much money advertising if those lures work so well? To catch fishermen...not fish.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Most really good lures I have known over the years are tough to find in stock all the time because word of mouth from fishermen keeps them sold out. If a lure works, you don't need to advertise. Other fishermen tell the story better than some slick actors that don't even know how to hold a fishing rod right.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Another way of looking at it is that if you ever caught fish on some of those things, you should also try fishing with other lures under the same conditions. I am impressed only if a specific lure catches more and bigger fish than ANY other lure under a specific set of circumstances.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Good fishermen could make the Banjo minnows work, simply because they know where to fish and how to present and work the lures. A dimbulb angler, who couldn't catch fish on live bait, would have a tough time scoring with an unknown piece of plastic.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have always maintained that a good fisherman can catch fish with the WRONG lure...whereas a poor fisherman often can't catch fish even with the RIGHT lure.[/#0000ff]
