Question--
What is the most over-rated lure ???

Answer---
16% said lures sold on TV....

30% of anglers polled had bought a lure from a magazine or TV ad.....

21% of those regretted it....

Here's an interesting side note....

Two weeks ago my employers asked for my input on ordering this year's fishing supplies.

Since both are female and non-anglers they thought I would be an asset in ordering what I felt folks would be wanting to buy.

After seeing the results of this survey I was pleased to see I ordered almost everyone of the winning lures... or at least those very similar in design.
