What I take from it is this....you have to fish these baits with no fear of losing them,if your afraid to lose them and be too cautious your bait will never be where the big girls are.Also I guess he's caught most of his fish on the rubber baits,the ones I'd say he's least worried about losing.Unfortunately most of us are not in the position to lose these baits on a regular basis,definetly not fifty,but that's the way things are and more power to him that he has dedicated himself to be there,he deserves it.
Honestly,I bought one original Generic Hardbait over a year ago and have only fished it once.Payed a hundred dollars and I could,nt imagine losing it,I'm just now getting the cahonees to fish it.That's what it was made for,not sitting in my closet.

Anyway,in a nutshell that's the main point I gathered,I could be way off base,it would'nt be the first time. As far as the deadstick bait goes,it looks perfect...well the fins might be a bit big..but truly a work of art.
