I am sure a lot of you have been to sports shows and seen the lures at closeout prices. They will be in barrels,boxes and my favorite is when they are in a 10 foot jon boat. More room to push them around and dig deeper. I used to go to the big show here in the northeast at Harrisburg,Pa. I always noticed something about the types of lures in these containers and was wondering if anyone else noticed the same thing. The majority of them seemed to be either deep divers or sinking ones. Floaters and shallow divers were in short supply. I always found that interesting. Was the thought of getting hung up in deep water and not getting it back the reason why?
I use to live in PA. (53 years) most of the lakes I would fish were shallow and weedy. I didn’t use a lot of deep divers myself, could be one of the reasons.
I have have noticed that I can always find plenty of both. What I have noticed is a lot of them are a color no one will throw. I always pickup some try it and if I catch fish I keep it the color it is you never know what a fish will hit. If I don't catch fish I repaint it to one of my favorites. You will be surprised how many of those crazy colors catch fish.

Another thing was the old price tag on them. A lot of them were way overpriced and had dust on them. Probably sat on the shelves forever..
