Live bait vs. Artificials

That sounds kind of crazy how many lures and other tackle you have but absolutely impressive. I find myself often doing exactly the same thing as you but when I go out and drop 50$ for instance on like 3 lures and then go ahead and lose one on its first cast it kind of puts me in check haha. I don't go for the most expensive stuff anymore I tend to do my research first but one thing I've got from this thread is how successful a lot of guys have been on here throwin musky killers...so I went out and bought a few. I use to throw them all the time but for whatever reason I switched gears to the "more traditional" way of catching bass. This year though I'm kind of at a loss. These fish this fall haven't been commiting to a lure as they usually do. I'm going to try adding a trailer hook to see if that helps my chances any.
