[QUOTE="richg99, post: 440159, member: 4376"] A story that I read, many years ago, was about the invention of the first Rapala lure. It said..the inventor?? carved a number of balsa blanks. One was "out of kilter" in that one side was shaped differently than the other. Out of all of the new blanks, that one caught far more fish than the others. Hence, the "Wounded Minnow" was born. It performed erratically...just like a wounded fish might. It seems those healthy baitfish won't be chased much of the time. However, if one baitfish is damaged in some way...it is attacked quickly. richg99 [/QUOTE]
