Back in the 1950s, an American lure company (who else?) produced a lure entitled

 

"Virgin Mermaid"

 

Their slogan could have been "You won't catch anything with this"................now that's exactly why my marketing career never took off.

It's never a 'six', let's put it back

I was chatting to a couple of guys at Rutland a couple of years ago, they made some of their own lures and they looked amazing. Mostly jerk baits of various sizes, lovingly crafted and beautifully painted, real little works of art.

 

They were suspiciously free from any teeth marks though, and when questioned one of the guys confirmed that he daren't actually use them in case they got damaged :D

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

Yep, can relate to that entirely :D

Thing is, if I'm fishing a plug-type lure (as opposed to a metallic, or latex one), over the years I've found that a bare, uncoloured wooden body works just as well as anything else - in fact, it's where I usually start, and will rarely routinely have much else colourwise in there apart from a perchy-type scheme and something flashy silver ... I've generally found that size, profile and depth have way more effect on success than colour!
