Get the habit: change lures often. It is all too easy to go on fishing, doggedly, determinedly, hour after hour, with the same lure because on the same stretch of water is once worked miracles. Take time out, sit down, and study your problem, and change lures. Eventually you'll work out the taking combination. Speaking of combinations, occasionally you'll get big fish to come out of hiding and follow your lure, but yet refuse to make contact. Suppose you are using a Colorado spinner. Retrieve again, quickly snap on a Plucky, which is an imitation minnow bait, and let him have it. All of it. Should the fish succumb to your ruse, don't continue with the Plucky. Go back to your winning combination. Use the Colorado spinner as a come-on and then administer the coup de grace with your deceiver. To meet changing fishing conditions, the effective spinman usually has his lures arranged in his tackle box as: surface-working lures; surface lures; and deep-working lures.
