Don't know where you fish, how you fish, whether you fish from the surf or from a boat, so it's tough to answer that question. I use one of the cheepest lures around, a plastic jerk bait. I also hand pour my own designs, and melt the old baits down to be used again, so the cost per baits is less than 0.15 cents each. I've got 6 plano 3700 boxes full of swimmers, jigs, poppers, all of which haven't seen the light of day in 6 years or more, except for the poppers. Almost 90% of my fishing is with plastics nowadays, for two reasons. First, which is obviously important to you, is cost. Second, they catch not only numbers of fish, but also big fish. Can't comment further, without knowing more about your preferred style of fishing, but you can't beat plastic for cost and effectiveness.

Tight lines.
