[QUOTE="russ010, post: 230524, member: 677"] I don't use what the pro's use for 2 reasons: 1 - now I know what everybody and their grandma is going to be throwing, and if I want to win - I need to throw something different. 2 - by the time you find out what the pros are throwing, it's probably some variation of what you are already doing. If I see them throwing something out of the ordinary, I'll take it and make my own variation (wobble, size, different blades, etc.). Right now, that's what I'm doing and I'm literally wearing out guys on a lake they fish all the time and I only get to fish it occasionally. I've got secrets (atleast what I think are secrets), but I fish with guys in my club in the same boat, as well as guys from other clubs - and you'd be surprised how many times I see them start something they think is their "little secret" only to be thinking to myself - well, I gotta find something new because if he knows, so will everybody else in a few weeks. I don't usually do this, but with some particular baits, I have to cut them off and tie something else on because guys are always walking around my boat at weigh-in, and I can see them putting their eyes on everything I threw - or atleast what they think I threw....
