I fish with lures when need arises, trooling for tuna/marlin, catching a few aussie salmon for bait for bait for bait, did I saay that
my prefered method of fishing is with bait even if it gets on my hands and makes them smell like fish perfume

I too have tried the SP's and spent considerable money on buying them. I have asked, watched, observed and hopefully learnt, but I simply cannot achieve the results I get on bait.........pure simple, smelly, bloody bait........and livies.

The SP's are the greatest con I have witnessed in 40 years of fishing, in my opinion.

Yeah I know what you mean , after watching a couple of movies you race down to the tackle shop and you hand over $50 you get a pep talk from the bloke, straight to the water thinking that a fool could catch fish with them. Then 1hr 4hr pass nothing and your mate beside you fishing with bait and actually catching fish.

Guys... guys!

Read the reports. Which method won this year's River to Mud challenge? ( thanks Foggy!) There are certain times I think I prefer bait to SP's, but that's usually night time, which I seldom fish. Otherwise, the convenience of SP's heavily weighs in their favour, What I don't use the 1st trip I keep for future trips with no change in the quality.

But there's no point me trying to convince you, I can keep talking till the cows come home. Fishing methods don't need to be set in concrete as to which one you choose on the day, nor am I written a yellow card for trying both. Set yourself some goals - If you have not had a bite on bait for an hour, rig up another rig with a plastic and flick it around while your bait soaks for another hour... You might get a pleasant surprise!

I have never been a fan of soft plastics, I have always done far better with bait than I have with soft plastics.

I am reminded by the saying, "Lures catch fishermen, not fish".

Lures and soft plastics have their place. But as a general rule, you will do much better with bait.

live bait is the natural bait but i get a buz out of fooling a fish on sp
