You sound like me John. I hate changing lures once it has the scent of bass
on it. I know it is just a confidence factor, but once I catch one fish on
a lure, I milk every fish I can out of it, before I absolutely have to trash
it.

But I feel just the opposite if a Muskie or Pike eats a lure. In that case,
I retire that rod, reel, and lure for the day, and thoroughly wash my hands
with a neutral scent soap. Again, it is simply a mental thing.
