Amen Keith,
Live and learn..just like those new lures I bought..plain silly when I know deep down..a person will only fish with what he has confidence in...
for me...the good ole rubber worm

I have an old bow...everyone has told me to upgrade. I went to a bow shop 2 years agowhich is owned by a seriously advid bow hunter / bow shop owner,
He said ,"There is no needto upgrade , your bow is all the bow you need for any situation in Northe America." I was impressed...and still got it.

The only upgrade I made this year which was worth th emoney is to my 7 foot Team Diawa..that really is an awesome rod...light enough to pitch / flip all day...longer cast and great leverage when setting th ehook fishing plastics.
God bless,
C7
