Most seasons, I don't try or buy many new bass baits that I havnt used before. I still fish plastic worms, spinnerbaits, some topwater, with the occasional lipless or shallow crankbait thrown in. I do look at the new baits and teqniques to fish them, but I'm reluctant to buy them right away. I'm sure this comes down to confidence in a handful of baits I've had success with over the years, and with limited fishing time, I want to tie on something that I've done well on in the past. I'm wondering how many others do this also. Are you quick to buy new baits, and learn new teqniques, or do you stick with a handful of baits that have worked for you?
