[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 462773, member: 22374"] I too used to collect lures with my dad in the summer when "The Res" was down low. Thanks for reminding me LDUBS. Natural bait is expensive down here. A shiner costs a dollar and UP, and I can use more than a dozen a day! Even though my mulch / compost is full of fat juicy worms I don't use the little soil makers... they're too valuable where they are! On Ebay (item number 370807761346) I get 25 frogs for less than $19 (!.76 each) and they will for sure last a lot longer than an equivalent cost in shiners, likely a couple of seasons. For frogs, lizards, and other plastics I now use Gamakatsu hooks arguably a high end hook and I get 20 for under $14. Those I just about NEVER lose, even if I did I'd happily lose one or two frogs a day from vicious strikes or fish that I land. Even my wiggle tail swimbaits which just about NEVER get torn up are cheaper than live bait here. [/QUOTE]
