<p>It's a hard choice when a habit has already imprinted upon you. But as we start to wean, we also learn valuable lessons along the way to pass onto future generations. It only takes a small ripple in the water to cause great changes.</p>

I had plastic baits in all sizes and colors by the hundreds. I liked collecting and fishing them. If they weren’t hitting I switched colors and sizes till they did. My fishing “carbon” and “plastic” footprints were high. By the time I bought snacks, drinks oil, and gas I was spending 25-30 dollars/day. luckily at the time i was fishing 1 to 2 times per week. The price to pay to fish in high powered style.</span></i></p>

I avg 2.5 gals of gas a month and no 2 cycle oil.</span></i></p>

Ive learned to fish the Power Minnow with the thinnest Super Lines with just two basic colors …. Dark and light smelt patterns and have the confidence to catch most varities of fish in the BOW. Ive found GULP waxies will catch everything including Bass over 5/lbs and N.Pike over 30”.</span></i></p>

I will also very rarely or never lose a plastic to a fish because I glue down the tails. when it becomes worn it is removed and then disposed of outside the BOW.</span></i></p>

Conservation has always been a stronghold in my inner fabric since gradeschool… paths in my life generally lead that way. This also carries on to the voice of the conservation of fish populations and how they are currently detrimented by outdated fish limits set by law in today's sport.</span></i></p>
