heh, don't you ever look online?

yup, you'll end up with a box full of baits and it will be a doctored up squirrelly something or other that gets you your fish.

So, there's still hope for my ball of twine/safety-pin hook/can o' red worms approach? [smilie=wink.gif]

Said the man who can barely fit all his baits in his Explorer.

Learn from my mistake….baits are addicting and I am an addict but I am working through the 12 steps.

Reminds me of my first 'ski back in 1979. I had snagged a GIANT leech off the bottom with a bass crankbait and it had completely wrapped itself around the lure. I had to use needle nose pliers to remove the huge, slimy thing and decided to use it as a trailer on a Johnson's Silver Minnow (spoon). First cast got a 36 incher. Then I started to buy all these big, fancy muskie lures…..
That big leech very much looked like the tail of a bulldawg today!
