[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 63929, member: 366"] I used to absolutely pile drive the fish with the Salmo chubbys with no bait. Been where guys are using jig raps with minnow heads and other jigs with live bait. They catch one, I catch 4. That said, the lure hasn't been as dominant for me the last 2 seasons. It still catches fish, just not wildly better than other baits. With a lot of the artificial baits need you to conquer the mental confidence barrier to work well. I always laugh when guys use the "other" baits when fishing stinks because "what the heck, give it a whirl". The time to try those baits are when the fish are biting and you can figure out what triggers a bite on that bait. Then you have the confidence and know how to trigger fish even on a tough bite. Getting outside your comfort zone is tough, but you will never evolve without trying new/different stuff. [/QUOTE]
