Buying the others doesn't save me anything if they don't catch fish as well or I have to earn the confidence in them. Lots of the imitators are junk. I'll take a look at these KVD's, though thanks.

Over the winter I went thru my previous year's notes and conmpiled a list of which lures brought in the most 16" or larger SMB; four lures stood out from the rest. Ranking in order: 1) Flukes, 4" and 5"; 2) Rapala Jointed Minnow, can be fished as a topwater, wake bait, or shallow water crank; 3) Rebel Jumpin' Minnow, a "walk-the-dogJohn Quickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875354387077547405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159457880557538756.post-18130687813607026282013-03-26T21:50:36.436-04:002013-03-26T21:50:36.436-04:00John, thanks for the kind words. 4 lures>>&g...John, thanks for the kind words. 4 lures>>>> 4" tube (3/16th to 1/4oz EWG jig texposed), a Rick Clunn Lucky Craft style square bill crankbait 1.5 size (fair knock offs out there), a Sammy 100, Lucky Craft jointed Wakecrank 1.5.

Leaving out the Winter season, if limited to only 4 different lures for the March to November season to catch smallies in streams/small rivers, what would you choose?
