Your Fresh Water Lure & Bait Guide

Selecting and purchasing lures and baits at any Sporting Goods store can be an expensive experience if we are not careful. Like a lot of anglers, I own a lot of lures that cost more than a few dollars that got fished a great deal and never caught more than a fish or two. I have carefully set those aside in an old tackle box. Perhaps someday they will be a collectors item. That will be the second sucker they caught. I was the first!
