- If the "flying lure" works as advertised, then I disagree. The backwords
- action of the lure applies to one of the basic tenents of fishing: Keep
- the bait in the strike zone.
-
- I would think the bait to be especially effective for inactive fish. There
- have been many times when I wished that I could keep a lure in one spot while
- still giving it action.

- The only thing is that I have no intention of buying at the outrageous TV price.
- I will wait till I see them at Wal-Mart for 99 cents, and this will happen
- ( remember the $120 TV hand blenders that are now avialable anywhere for $15).
