Lightingrod, glad to entertain you. Just exactly what part of my last post was humorous to you? Did you find it inane due to its obvious stupity? Was it the fact that I don't want to spend an inordinate amount of money just because everybody else is buying the same toys? Rate of fall, I assume, relates to many swimbaits- as Charlie's come in suspending and top water. If they are suspending it takes time to get to a depth, therefor it has an ROF does it not? And if they suspend then can you not dead stick them?
I'm sure Huds are great SBs. I'm just not prepared to spend $35 for something that may or may not be better than a $15 dollar lure just because it looks more life like to a human. Plus Charlie's come with two decent hooks.
Lures are made to catch fish. Just because they look good to humans is in no way proof that they are superior fish catchers. From what I've read, Charlie's elicit just as many hits as Huds, so why spend $35 for 1 SB when I can get 2 for $30. Furthermore, the evidence as to which swimbait of any brand actually attracts more strikes just isn't out. The biggest lmb's I ever hooked up with came on a $3.99 per package of "4 Storm blugills. That is what got me hooked on swimbait fishing.
Quit being so rude.
