Lucky Craft lures really are Lucky....or are they?

[Rodman_Rob]

About a month ago I lost a Lucky Craft lure at one of my favorite lakes when I managed to get it hung up on something under the water. Well as Luck would have it, I decided to go fishing at the same lake today. Well sure enough, on the VERY first cast today I thought I felt something hit my Matzuo jerkbait, and I started realing it in, it wasn't long before I realized it wasn't a fish, but instead I was hung up on something. I pull on the line and feel some movement and keep reeling in. I get the lure to the boat and at first it appeared to just be some weeds and roots/vines of some sort that i was hung up on, but on closer inspection, I noticed it was a thin rope. Like most others on this site, I hate trash in lakes so I started pulling in the rest of the rope......boy was it a long one. Eventually I get the main clump of rope to the boat and notice a lure tangled up in the mess. I pull the rope completely off and notice, "Hey its a Lucky Craft, ALL RIGHT!" I take a closer look and sure enough, it was the exact same lucky craft I lost a month before. Suprisingly the lure had been in the water for a month, and just a tiny bit of rust was just starting to form on the hook shank. I ran the trebles over my finger nails and they all dug right in. After a full month in the water the hooks remained sharp. I couldn't believe it. So I figure it had to be a sign, I was supposed to use this lure ot catch a monster right? I'm sure yall woulda thought this too if you were lucky enough to just catch a $20 lure that you lost a month ago, so of course I tied it back on my pole. Get a few bites but no hookups and then I managed to get it stuck in a tree. Ended up breaking the line while trying to get it out so I tied a stick to my anchor rope and threw it up in the same tree. I yanked on the branch and eventually pulled it down. I was able to recover the lucky craft yet a second time. Did some more fishin and sure enough, throw the dang thing in another tree, this time I wasn't gonna be so lucky, turns out there was a hornets nest in this tree. Of course that didn't stop me desire to get my lure back so I threw my anchor rope back up the tree and tried to pull down the branch. Unfortunately it was a bigger branch and it must have wanted the lucky craft more than me cause all 275lbs couldn't break off this branch. Maybe next time I'll catch my lucky craft again
