Murphy forgot a law....

MallenManson · 06-06-09, 08:43 PM

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.

that has to suck

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?

bamabassman · 06-06-09, 10:37 PM

i have some that are pretty realistic looking craws as well malle. maybe i'll try them again seeing as they haven't really produced for me either. can you tell me the type of spot you threw yours in? thanks man.

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

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

Bassboss · 06-07-09, 07:51 AM

try yum crawbugs!

freakyfish · 06-07-09, 09:02 AM
