Default Murphy forgot a law....

I had this crawfish lure for 10-12 years (Keep in mind i just came back last year after 9 years off the lakes)and never caught anything on it. Always had really high hopes, since it's the most realistic looking craw bait I've ever seen. Had just about given up on it and threw it on this morning. Caught this little dink and it really made my day.
15 minutes later, I snagged the lure up and lost it

Yep, Murphy was an optimist. Now you know why I never buy just one of a lure-I always buy at least 2. If I don't, Murphy steps in and I lose it within the first few casts, usually the first.

I always do anymore. I have a complete box of back ups in the closet, in a back up tackle bag lol. No backup to that one though. Don't even remember who made it.
Looks like it's time to give Storm Scoot N' Craws a try

Take a look at the yum Crawbugs, I think they are a lot like the one you lost.

On one lure I'll catch like 10 fish on, and then when I tie on a new one I break it off on the first cast.Typical right?

WRONG! Jeez Zook, what are they feeding you at the hospital?

Red is NEVER a good color for crawdads. Never. Remember?

I lose my stuff alot too.Sorry you lost your good crawl.I alway's here people say throw your crank in the nasty stuff.Well they don't know me.I lose my crank when it looks like thier nothing thier.Thats one of the reason's I don't throw Lucky craft. It's not because its not the all magic lure It's because I KNOW I will lose it FIRST time out.Somtime I like to kick murphy butt.
