Fish24/7 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 wow, has this ever happened to you....? I've broken a couple bills casting too close to the rocks but,
dtrs5kprs Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 D'oh! Warts are generally pretty tough. That was a solid shot though. Did have a K come off a white spoon once, and the spoon put a nice ding in my gel coat. Better than hitting me.

fishinwrench Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 ....and he never caught another fish all day ???? Seriously, if bass were that picky we'd seldom catch one. I'd certainly rather have seven 8.00 Warts than one 60.00 one. Mitch f 1

Better than hitting me. that's not so bad I guess, On a guide trip I had a client spill an entire bottle of blue dip -n -glo dye . His efforts to resolve the problem by wiping it up with my gore tex rain jacket made it even worse. The same guy the following year broke my passenger side windshield by using it for leverage to stand up .

Members BiteMeBaits Posted January 13, 2016 Members Posted January 13, 2016 While I have never spent $60 on a lure or even $10 for that matter, I have killed a few. The confidence loss is the killer. I had a wart this spring that I killed them on and boated a ton of fish and several in the 4-6lb range. I lost it prefishing a tournament and lost my mojo all spring. Granted I bought several more identical but none quite the same... Farewell wart, your work here is done... Fish24/7, magicwormman and MOsmallies 3
m&m Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 BMB, been there done that too. When I hit the windshield with my bait I not only broke the bill, but i cracked the windshield. Ugh!!! Mike BiteMeBaits 1
Quillback Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 That was a Magnum Wart? How do you spend $60 for a Magnum Wart, you can still get the originals (pre-Rapala) pretty cheap on Ebay compared to a regular pre-Rapala WW. All I can think is that it must have been one heckuva custom paint job, as you can get a custom paint job for a lot less than $60. I'm not buying this story.
