Talking with a co-worker recently about bass fishing, I told him I was going to pick up a few Beetle Spins, and make some for this spring. His reply: " oh I'd never throw that old thing, it's just a kids lure". He felt the same way about the Jitterbug, saying few serious bass fisherman would use such a simple beginners bait. I also told him I liked a Blakemore Road runner in larger sizes, that I've caught a few decent size fish on the old underpin jig. I think many fisherman have become caught up in the newest fads, and think that they are above throwing some of the older baits. This same guy will fish bass jigs all day, but a leadhead jig is one of the oldest, and simplest of all baits. Modern jigs are souped up versions of an old standby. I'll never stop throwing these "simple kids lures". They simply work too well. I've caught too many fish on them over the years to give up on them. Kids baits! I think not. Do you know any fisherman who feel this way? What are some opinions on this?
