Just last Wednesday it was decided to troll again for a salmon.  This fish swallowed the blue/chrome plug that I stowed you in a post last year.  Its getting kinda scratched up.  But not sure what to do.  What are my options?

You can punish that fish for scratching you lure by packing the fish in ice & shipping it to me. I will be nice to the fish.

I promise

Gary,  you know you just have to use that lure as is until it blows up!

The ones that have caught fish will again & again.  Action is just right on that one and it triggers them.

I have a lure I use for trout that catches big trout.  A carbon copy trolled on  another pole might not get hit all day.

Another glorious mystery of fishing.

I guard my 'fish catcher' lures like gold.  I don't share them at all.  I'll let you use and lose as many copies as you like, but not my #1.

The lure scratched the salmon too, so they're even!

Keep fishing it!  The best lures don't have any finish left on them.

I would put it in the same category as the red cooler...  . Fish the bad boy until the mojo is worn out....and nice fish....Bill
