The main reason SP took over from bomber is bombers cast like **** and no one really likes the 3 sets of trebles. In the 3 shops I repair rods for you can't give bombers away. If your old enough to remember Bomber replaced the Hellcat and Redfin. Hell the cell phone replaced the CB on the fishing scene. Also Mambo's will fall by the way side because people won't pay $20 for them. At $9.95 the SP rules and out casts anything and catches. The SP also holds in strong current where a Bomber ,Redfin or Mambo can't go. Also the new Bakers are outstanding and keep up with the SP with a profile more like the big C10 Redfin. Nothing is for ever only thing guaranteed in life is change..
Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again
In the month of May caught some nice fish on ugly, beat up, old swimmers (with upgraded hooks and split rings)...will post the pics when I get a chance....
very innovative thread and thanks for the tutorial ds.
West Wind Ralph........Yeah I think your psychedelic past has definitely caused some permanent damage!
^Rob, my teen and young adult years were times when kids did a lot of experimenting with psychedelics.....I think 3 kids from our high school class died from drug or alcohol use and related accidents.....Joe did a lot of that stuff too...you should ask him to tell you some of the stories next time you're out fishin together... ....but that was an earlier chapter of my life...

Basshunter, you're welcome. ....
Remember that this thread arose from a conversation with Surfwalker about how guys have blinders on that a particular plug, like the SP for example, is the only way to catch fish....
Statistically, only about 25-30% of my yearly bass catches, come from the SP...
Over the past 4 weeks, the one plug that has been the least effective for me, has been the SP.
If that was the only plug that I would consider using I would have missed out on a lot of fish....
Food for thought......
