Sometimes it’s worth it to get your butt kicked by a fellow angler if it’ll introduce you to a new lure or a new technique. That’s what I’d hoped would happen when a new club member crushed me with his favorite discontinued buzzbait. Unfortunately, it didn’t worked out the way that I’d hoped.
Despite 20 years without experiencing the success I’ve expected, I still bring out this special lure at least once or twice a year. I’m going to make it happen.
