How do I throw a +$100 bait?

Just sling it man. Throw/use it like it’s already gone

Trying to get a new bait that is now impossible to get is far more a issue than money for me. So every time I tie one of those baits on I hope it comes back. 100 bucks is nothing, try a OG Pats Gill from back in the day lol.

I’ve lost a couple citizens to pike.  Only other swim bait I had was a Tiny Klash. Two weeks ago I bought a kgb crappie off a member on here, and got to cast it 12 times. On the last cast I felt a thump and I set the hook, felt one head shake and it was gone. I had remorse for about 10 minutes, but I was dreading telling my friends that don’t appreciate expensive things that a pike broke me off lol.

Pray that you tied a solid knot and cross your fingers. Should also pick up one of these just incase. Saved me a couple of times. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-telescopic-lure-retriever
