I own plenty now, so when I retire, I won't have to buy any more. That's when I'll use them all  That won't work...

It's crazy to see all the different things some people never throw. Some of these baits are go-to's for many of us!

was that purchased because of the Falcon Lake stringer that was reportedly caught using this from 7 or so years ago?

Most of then I don't fish with or at least not very often. Might was well flush $$$ down the toilet.

A-rig. I've got several and have caught fish on them, but during the time when they really shine I much prefer an underspin, scrounger head, or just a regular swimbait. It's not that I hate them or anything, it's just that they always get put aside for something more favorable.

Buzzbaits. Have never even had a fish look at one that I can remember. Wow, I love throwing a buzzbait. I have a lot of extra tackle that I don't use because the boat is already full but one bait that I have a bunch of but rarely throw is a hard jerk bait.
