Sometimes it's not about how many lures you have...but which one you have the most confidence in catching fish

Instead of getting a bunch of lures, start with a few old standard in ONLY a couple of colours...and learn to use them well. After that, you can explore other options once you know how certain types of lures work. It takes a while to understand how and when to use a certain lure, and what size (length and/or weight) you need for the most common situation.

Been there...done that...probably have $2000 in lures at home that I don't use on regular basis. I can count with my fingers how many lures I toss 90% of the time. If you want more lures, I can sell you lots at reduced cost. I'm actually trying to get rid of some lures to fund other fishing stuff

Strangely, I've went back to bait more and more...lure fishing is fun, don't get me wrong...but if I want to put someone on fish, there's nothing that can compare to a well presented live bait.
