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.
