I'm with ya Tom, just glad to go. My last trip netted me 2 whisker trout, 2 LMB, 1 crappie and 1 stripe. I knew within the first 30 minutes it wasn't happenin that day but stayed almost 3 hours anyway. I also never did anything on a mad cow, but have done well on a mistake from time to time, but not every time. I have sold most of my Bandits since I started painting my own and I like having the extra space in the boxes. Haven't had my hands on the new offerings yet but I'd like to see em in person. I've bought some oddballs over the years that did very well til everyone and their cousins started throwing them and then they died down. Drag em out a couple of years down the road and they produce once again. I think they get tired of seeing the same thing every twenty minutes. Remember the Snagless Sally? Once the spinnerbait became popular they sat on the shelf and went into the bargain bin. They never slowed down for me, and I liked the new price too. I hope they do well with the new ones, the others do pretty good.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
