I don't know about lily pads.

However, when I was a small boy with lawnmowing money burning a hole in my pocket, my father used to tell me "They don't design fishing lures to catch fish, they design them to catch fisherman."

So true. Witness the fish catching success of ned fishing, dragging an unremarkable blob on bottom, doing nothing special, with all the fancy lures that cost a fortune! But we still lay down the cash for the latest gee-whiz stuff...at least, I do too often.
