100%. I couldn't agree more. I had a Norman lure that worked for me and luckily I managed to find another one after a lot of searching. I only have one left and I don't see them in catalogues anymore. What do you do?. You have to take a chance. Hennie that is the best advice ever, Shot.243 If I have luck with one bait I would make sure I buy multiple. The biggest problem with these lures is continuity! You find one that work for you go back to get another and the lure is discontinued your more consistent manufacturers is Bill Norman, Rapala (only to an extend) and Bomber.
I have two Jimmy Houston rattle traps they probably account for 50% of my fish catches, I GAURD THEM WITH MY LIVE. I have taken a dive for them, got special lure retrievers for them and replaced the hooks about 7 times already because of getting stuck. I have search everywhere for these lures cannot find them anymore, I even contacted Jimmy Houston himself and he could not help me. So my advice if you find something that works for you make sure you got more than one VERY QUICKLY!
they are actually swimbaits about 3 ounce to give you an idea of the size and weightScuba, very similar to mine. How do those jointed plugs in the bottom left corner work?
