I had this one live trout softbait that Jerry sent me years ago. That one bait caught a 6, three 9's, two 10's and a 13 for me. That's a darn good lure. Nico caught a 13 on a live trout softbait as well.

The achilles heel of these baits was that the bill would get messed up by the heat of the plastic when the lure was poured. So the bills would break or fall out of the baits or whatever. That one lure I had must have been made just right because it lasted through all those fish.

The live trout softbait always worked well for me in very cold, clear water. In Dec/Jan it was just a money bait.
