Of course i am a advocate of the BASICs.i have been saying white,Yellow or black are the three basic colors u needfor a long time...
When I make a bag for the evening.I try work a few different styles off of that basic color scheme.U can only have room for so many choice's.That being said I tired seeing of backhanded remarks about Fancy paints an top of the line components.One author made references to having no affiliation with any builders or lure makers.An kinda went out of his way to put down some of the fine products out there today.Well good components are good for us.Just Like Simms Waders an tops.If someone is willing to put the time into a nice paint an finish It also tells me he has probably spent the time on the R&D of the plug.This thread has a familiar ring..It's almost like u all read the same rehashed plug article that was in the latest rag..Well u would be doing yourself a great disservice not to try some different things.Like yr's ago on the cape with the pink plugs.What hardcore die in the wool surf caster would even own a pink lure if it did not work..Better than white or black.. In the spring like Peter an Dave said if Ur gonna plug U NEED TO HAVE THE HERRING PATTERN IN UR BAG..In the fall Yellow an Black, black an gold.Blue an silver,olive,something with a orange belly.Are all colors I try to incorporate into my plug bag.Lots of times color makes more of difference than style of plug.I wish it was purely as simple as black an white but sometimes color makes a huge difference..
I'm getting tired of the same old thing I read in the mags..BlaBla Bla.Anyone with a few yrs of knowledge can write how simple plugs selection is.I read the reviews here an I thought i was gonna see some great revelation in this months mag.Wrong, same old thing.BlaBla Bla.A good article would be to break down the different lure styles,metal
lips,bottles,darters,plastic finish swimmers,poppers an needles. An thats just Ur hardbody lures.What they do an when an how to use em.All the little details on how to get the most out of em.An some of the other Little"secret"tricks that sometimes make a difference.But then again u would have to know something about fishing em an not just be a #^^^^^^&...
