If you were stranded on an island with a box of kastmasters, you would not die of starvation. You would catch more species of fish than you could ever imagine. You would learn to fish those lures in ways you'd never have thought of because you would have no other choice. In the real world, you have that choice, the retail world gives you that choice. Fish aren't that smart in my opinion
Why do you have to be such a pork & cheese?
We're talkin about two completely different habbits. Most fresh water bass live farely long lives because the majority of the fish are released that being said why don't more guys catch large mouth over 8#? Most of those fish over 8# are caught in the spring on live bait (natives) biggest shiners. From about mid april through the spring just about everyone is throwing spinner baits, you can only imagine how many spinner baits a 6 pound bass has seen. Fresh water heads are throw baits with conv gear casting their arms off, some all day and some getting the skunk, you can imagine in the course of just one year how many lures them fish have seen. I personely know many hardcore fresh water heads that have driven this point to me on this subject, not that difficult I know.
I'm with you on the kast master theory but you know how I feel when it comes to big bass....I got Pork& Cheese in me too
