I've been bass fishing for 50yrs. I use and have confidence in most lures, I've been around when alot of the lures first came out. I use all types of tackle( fly, spinning, baitcasting).I fish shallow and deep with success and catch fish during all seasons.However there is one lure I have no confidence in, I have caught fish in saltwater with it but I can't remember ever landing a fish in fresh water with it probably because I put it on and make a couple of casts then change it because I know I can catch fish on almost any other lure. LIPLESS CRANKBAITS (rattle traps) I have ZERO confidence in them. I know a lot of people use them and catch fish with them but I don't.
