I bought one of these "trout killer" lures years ago at the PA sportsman's show. Sat in my tackle box unused. Fast forward at least 10 years. I'm fishing an artificial only stream with a friend. It's cold snowing and miserable. Can't buy a bite. I head back to the truck to warm up and pull my tackle pack out of my vest while sitting there. Hmmm, I've never tried this lure before, so I tie it on. Back to the creek, 14 casts, 14 trout! My new favorite! Last July vacationing on Seneca Lake N.Y., no one is catching anything. I tie on my "trout killer" and flip it off the back of the pontoon boat. We motor across the lake to a state park. As we arrive I throw the engine into neutral and the rod tip bows down. I grab the rod and horse in a 15 pound laker! I'm a believer! read more
