At the price of a freshwater lure ($7-8/piece), I don't think the Mambos are really made to take the pressures that many of us put on them quite frequently. This is unfortunate because often times a Mambo Minnow can breaks open the fishing.

On the other hand, last night 4 of us were out fishing, all using Mambos. We caught 30-40 fish between 26-33" and only one Mambo was sacrificed, and not by a fish...

(Fortunately, not me)
You know, a REAL fisherman would have left the treble in, cut his finger off and chunked it!

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
