thanks swimbait!
on one of my castaic swimbaits there are marks just like those, but i have hooked each one of the fish. I've heard that the megastrike is realy longlasting. I tink i will experiement with pro cure and megastrike to see how they preform. I like the look of pro cur because they have the scents i want. They have ones that taste like rainbow trout and ones that are desinged for "trophy bass" this will give me a more versital approach, like if i'm fishing a trout stocked lake (although there are not many in maryland) or if i'm fishing a farm pond.
Thanks for the help an the picture
