Just for the record, Joe, that was Rapala's original Floating Minnow, and I
know for a fact (first hand) that in the big Missouri Ozark lakes, $50 a day
rental with a $50 deposit against loss was not uncommon. This took place
long before the birth of the Shadrap.

BTW, that $100 bucks was well worth it (lost mine on a breakoff)!

I remember back in the early 70's there was a movement to ban the plastic
worm as well as depthfinders in Minnesota. Then when the Shad Rap came out
they were in such short supply bait shops actually rented them out by the
day. No joke! Joe Z.

Even if it is legal, it is pretty darn non-sporting. Why not try
dynamite?

I wonder if the same thing was said when electronic depth finders were
first
started to be used in bass tournaments.
