What would give you a better chance at a fifty?

[Sea Dangles]

I think if you know how to present live bait properly there is no comparison. Fish the same spot next to a lure guy and you will frustrate him very quickly.Try to make a lure swim,wiggle and smell like live bait without a retrieve and you run into problems.The number of fish I have caught over 35# with plugs is VERY small compared to fishing with the bass' natural prey.

Flap,we know where you stand, but according to the title of this thread you should explain why you think YOU stand a better chance at a fifty with plugs. Enlighten the masses.
