Do you believe in a lucky rod/reel/lure?

I'm interested to know more about this lure. You should make a thread describing it in detail and we'll figure it out for ya!

Good idea.

No I do not believe in a lucky rod or lure. But I have had lures that consistently caught fish when other identical copies of it did not. I believe it was just some detail about that lure that was different that attracted fish to strike it. I think something about its action was what caused it. I couldn’t tell the difference in it vs an identical copy but the bass could. Eventually it became easier to tell it from the others because of wear and tear making the paint look abused but it still continued to catch fish. It was a 1/8oz Worden’s Roostertail in the glitter frog color. Everytime I used it I caught bass on it.

LIke other members, I have my favorites and not 'lucky'.

There's no such thing as luck.  There are no fish gods and a bass doesn't stay away from your lure since you have a banana in the boat.  All that stuff is in your mind.

Luck is when preparedness and opportunity meet. I always try to be prepared when opportunity presents itself,,,with my favorite Deep Wee R tied on.

Oddly, the Japanese don't believe in karma.  

They do believe in Nyu-kon, which is that the object doesn't know what it is until it's broken in, and broken in right.  

Tackle and lures are not lucky, but they can be effective.  

For the longest time, my buddy Lou believed a lure wouldn't catch for him unless it had chartreuse somewhere

Some time between the last two Redfish Rodeos, he threw that away, and increased his catch rate.
