Personally, I think if a fish is gonna bite ,its gonna bite. It does not look for a $5-$15 price tag on the side of the lure before biting. I have caught bass off $1.50 lures I got on sale, when I lose the lure, it is no big deal rather than casting $5 a cast to get a snag and break line. I bought a set of 25 lures ,including 2 lure scents for $38 shipped off an ad I saw. Best purchase I made yet. I think the expensive lure companies catch more fishermen than fish just for having in your head that money catches more. No offense to anyone just my opinion when it comes to throwing out money in water, it gets expensive.
