So, we have all been there, watching that infomercial and thinking to ourselves, that bait looks awesome. We rush to the phone and place our order, then wait with ever increasing anticipation of the packages arrival.  Ready to take that lure and destroy our friends with our new secret weapon. Unfortunately when it arrivals you soon discover that this lure was designed to catch more humans than fish....LOL

So, I am interested in hearing all of the great lures that could have been:

Mine is a lure that I cant remember the name however you tied directly on to an o ring that was attached to a string. The lure floated on top pf the water. You would jerk the bait pulling the string which would activate the tail. The lure would vibrate around in a circle for about 3 seconds. Never caught a thing but always was waiting for that big bite.

So tell us you best story.......

Rule of thumb:  buy nothing from infomercials.  Didn't I see a guy fighting a marlin on one of those pocket fishermen commercials?  LOL


However I will admit, in the tackle biz, you must always first catch the fisherman. If you can't do that, then your product has no chance to prove itself. The othe important part of the process is that your product must perform!  Without that, there is no return business and no positive word of mouth. If you don't have both of thos working for you, you will fail.  With my little paint biz, I do the absolut best I can to paint patterns that are different from others and that are as realistic as I canmake them. This catches fishermen. But I only paint patterns that actually look like specific baitfish so I have 100% confidence they will get bit. And lastly I only paint proven lures such as Normans, LC, etc.  I already know that a DD22 is a fish catching machine so it's a perfect bait for a fancypaint job. I know they're going to catch them on that bait and I hope a lake specific paint job will get them a few more bites. And that's the return business part.

Dude.....I buy all of them, and have never caught a bass on any except the "Banjo Minnow" and the "Helicopter Lure". I bought those "Kick-Tail" baits that are supposed to outfish live bait 3-1....my ass!

That's it "Kick Tail" ya I have one that looks like a goldfish. It just sits there and flops around. Never even had a strike.

Ok, how bout the "Wonder Boner".. LMAO while watching this...."my wife would like that".. Classic

Enjoy

Those "Banjo Minnows" are bad-ass, at least the older ones that actually resembled a shad worked real well. Hey Gandy, I have a credit card and nowhere to spend it....

Scott, I have always thought of myself as a guy who helps his friends in need. Just let me know how much credit you have left, the number, security code and I'll take care of ghe rest.

Here's a bait that has been worthless for me......Gulp ribbon tail's! I have only caught catfish on them.....bass won't touch them!

Hey Gandy........I'm going to mortgage the house so I can buy more.....bring it all on!!!!
