Has anyone tried the soft plastic imitation? I'd think if it gave off an attractive sent like the gulp seems to do the fish would hit it. May try a pack of them when I get out there. Naturally the real deal is best but if the soft plastic worked think of the ease of storing.
You know, I've looked pretty hard at the BTB (Better Than Bait) product that most shops carry out there. The shop owners claim people are doing well with it, but I haven't tried it myself. I'm thinking I should have used it last fall... but we were doing okay with just spoons, j-plugs and flasher/flies so I never bothered. Sure does seem like an easier thing to deal with though, don't it?? No stank from the bait you forgot to take out of the boat. LOL.
