I used to be in the same boat, but a much better angler told me to toss one in my bag in May and leave it there. He said, eventually a time would come where I was getting skunked and would have cycled through all of my plugs (except the darter). He said, you will see it there and figure that you might as well throw it.
I decided to take this advice about 5 years ago.....and I had one of those nights in early June...so I put the darter on and caught a fish pretty shortly thereafter, then another and another, and so forth. From that point on, I had confidence in it...and now carry at least 3 at most times.
Force yourself to use it and develop confidence; you'll be glad you did.
