Mine is lure selection with color combinations. I believe lures are meant to catch fisherman not fish. Go to the store and you see more color combinations then you will ever be able to stock up on for all various situations. You would need a pickup truck just for lures. Now I do have a personal favorite lure that is my go to most all situations, #2 and #3 Copper Mepps spinner but when I look back at the lures when I was growing up and even the lures my father had growing up I often wonder, did no one catch fish back then? Of course they did with simpler colors and basic shapes. I feel that speed, location and presentation play more of a role then all the fancy paint jobs at ridiculous prices.

The funny thing is that my two favorite lures can't even be bought anymore. Bone white jitterbug and 6" red rapala (the ones from 30+ years ago). I retired both lures because I learned how to fish with them and don't want to lose them.
