I used the traditional floating ones starting when I was about 10 years old which would have been in 1967. They were killer on bass.

On a funny note I was trying to catch 12 inch brook trout on the ones that were about 4 inches in length on a little lake in Massachusetts. The trout would come up and nip on them but I couldn't catch them. The water was so clear I could see the trout. It finally dawned on me they were too big for the trout and I started to use live bait and started catching them.

What can I say? I was only 10 years old and fishing by myself.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
