- I don't have much of an opinion regarding this flying thing
- (other than the fact that it must be the most expensive jig-lure on
- the planet earth, also that I am really tired of hearing about it).
- Kevin, I can't help but agree with you.
- It may be a wonderful lure, or not. I have no plans to find out.
- In general, there is no such thing as a magic lure. Why do people
- keep searching (spending) for a single lure or presentation that
- will catch fish under all circumstances? Why not learn how to
- fish instead!!!! Imagine how boring fishing would be if such a
- magic device existed. Even live bait fishing (which is actually
- non-fishing IMO) is not the universal panicea (forgive my spelling),
- because bait does not trigger a reaction response.
-
- Learning to fish requires energy, intelligence, and lots of
- practice and on the water experience. If you just want to
- dumbly catch fish, save your money, don't buy tackle. You
- can go to a trout farm and catch all the fish you want there
- (in the long run this may be more economical).
-
- I know, maybe if I spray WD-40 on my flying lure then fill
- it with rock salt and paint the hook pink I will have the
- universal bait, then I can quit all that painful thinking stuff
- while I'm on the water!!!
