Now go ahead and take another shot at answering your own question.

First off, how is that inflamatory BS? Bait fishing, as most in this thread have expressed, is the best way to your goal over plug fishing, in that context then would it not be a better route to go than plugs if it has that inherrent edge? Would that not be a form of insurance against failure knowing that if you were going out to fish tonight and you know that bait produces more big fish percentage wise than plugs it would give you that edge over the plug guys. That is an insurance motive and that bit of insurance gives you the advantage.

I did answer the question. And my point about the old days, (which you yourself relished in telling me at Striperfest two years ago as you related the tale of past times that nothing could compete with yo yo ing bunker out of that Red Seacraft for big bass in big numbers), is that plugs once could compete and maybe will again.

Bait fishing makes it a bit easier to accomplish your goals as far as getting a fifty or better and live or dead bait in that case is added insurance that you will achieve what you seek. Is that inflammatory? No, it's a fact.
