Strike King #3X Lures?

It's not just Walmart, Steve, it's that time of year. Oshman's and
Academy Sports sells a lot of closeout fishing gear to me this time of
year, and yes, I have a lot of plastics I'll probably never use myself.
Do any of the online sites do this as well? hmmmm.. I'll have to check
it out.

Oh, I'm sorry, Steve, I didn't answer your question, and I can't because
I haven't tried the 3x stuff yet, I'm still using the plastics I got on
clearance last year.

Hi guys,

I have a question for you out there. The local Wal-Mart is having a close
out sale on Strike King 3X soft plastic lures. They're selling for a buck a
bag, which if I remember correctly is about $2.50 off. I don't have any
experience with them but I have heard that they're very durable with a high
float factor (for lack of a better term).

Because of that, my friend Gil doesn't like the Fluke type lures. He says
that they don't sink well and are hard to get to work properly.

Have you used any of this line of lures? What do you think of them? Which
ones have been more productive in your experience?

I'd like to pick up a bunch as it's a good price, but I'd rather not spend
the money if they're not going to get used. I've got enough of those type
lures already.

For that matter, at the risk of sounding like Al, if there is a Wal-Mart
near you, check the sporting goods department for close outs. I picked up
some Eagle Claw LazerSharp hooks, 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0, 25 count packages, for
$1.50 each. I prefer Gamakatsu hooks, but I've used these in the past and
they've been good to me. They hook fish and stay hooked, so I guess they do
what they need to do. It's a good time to stock up on supplies, I do this
every spring and save a bunch of money.
