[size 2][size 1]Hello Postcard,[/size]
[size 1]Great reading, I would agree with much of what you have to say. [/size]
[size 1]In my experience also realism has not always equated to results (but does sometimes). For that matter many of my best producers don't really look like anything (i.e. Wardens Rooster tails are one of my Trout favorites and I've never seen anything alive like'em). [/size]
[size 1]One thing to consider about hearing someone relate absolutes about fishing lures and presentation if its based on experience and not their hypothesis it may be worth a shot![/size]
[size 1]I will follow up on this post as I had an experience recently trolling a live bait that I wasn't aware at the time was not legal in my state to troll. I lost a great bass on a live bluegill and have since been on a quest to find the most realistic bluegill or trout lure I can find to take another run at this fish (its been giving me nightmares LOL, it was a real beauty!)[/size]
[size 1]P.s. Great last paragraph "The grand thing about fishing is that it's 99% anecdotal and 1% real concerning successes and failures. If it weren't, we wouldn't be able to brag as much as we do about the big ones that got away or rationalize why a day was fishless. But more importantly, the clearance tables would be empty!
