Excellent point about the sand worms Jax. (I think I might have saw the same thing on utube). I too think the gulp stuff is overrated (although I did have my largest smally ever at over 6lbs eat a gulp leech........it threw the hook right at the boat while laying on its side.....oh the pain, what a fish) but perhaps the sand worms would be the ticket with what wally13 is proposing. Might be a slay'em set up. And yea, I am a bit concerned that Mr. Bear might just take my whole tackle bag because of smelly gulp. Yikes!

I tend to change rigs and lures and line in the first 10 or 15 minutes of starting until I have on what I feel is the right combo of line class and presentation. Then I can fish for hours with the same thing or until conditions change. Pretty common for me to tie something on and make 5 casts and change only to do it all over again with the new lure 5 casts later.
