I have to say live bait .. The goal of fishing a lure is to imitate live bait . I have seen some more skilled than me at getting certain lures to imitate live bait . The ultimate is to be so good with plugs you can skip all the hassle of live bait ,, transporting and keeping it alive . Not throwing logs on fires . I think there's a boat man, surf man point of view also .. Surfman is always thinking about being mobile ,,, travel lite as possible .. Some just take pride in there skills to catch on plugs .. good question.. raises another question ... The 3 record 73lb. fish in Mass .. caught on what ? 1. goo goo eyes 2. a teaser ,, forgot .. what was the 3 rd ?
