what rod are you throwing your spook with?

[bendopolo]

I am trying really hard to learn to fish with lures I find at Wal-Mart. Not because I'm cheap but because the stuff is so reproducible, anywhere in the country. I too was hooked on a hard to find lure, the Team Diawa Minnow. When first exposed it became a Magic Lure. When I wasn't catching fish on them I was snagging them. But they were only available in Japan at the time and were running about $20 to $25 a piece. And they would wear out and get bit in half and the bills broke. And so was I. I had to get off that habit. Wal-mart had a very similar bait(suspending jerk bait) that tended to tumble a bit in casting(Affects distance), but worked just as well for $5. And I can get one in Minnesota tomorrow or in Miami in June. I believe those Mega-Ghosts are a similar Japanese Bait. High grade finish, better hardware,nicer hooks. Fish still eat the Zara Spook and they sell them at...guess where?
