I just read the posting on the Lucky Craft Lures. Many good points. I also joined the group buy. I have had many conversations over the years with other fishermen and am always suprised to see where they spend their money. We all spend a lot of money on tow vehicles, boats, rods, line and lures. I have fished with guys who have used the same line for years trying to save a few bucks.
Sure the Lucky Craft lures are expensive but the fish in the lake does not see your tow vehicle, the boat, your 225 hp motor, or any of that other expensive equipment you used to get to the fish. It all comes down to that one moment your lure makes contact with the fish. At that point the most important thing you have is the lure. Then your line, then you rod and reel, and so on all the way back to the dock with your catch. Why spend all that money getting to the fish only to show him something he may not want on a worn out rod and rell with last years line still on the reel. The point is to catch the fish.
How about a list from you guys listing what you think you should spend you money on in order of importance. Whats more important a good GPS or a good lure? Big motor or good line? Think about it. My tackle is on top. Perhaps some of the new people getting in to the sport could benifit from all your years of figuring out this stuff on your own.
