Is name brand important to you for baits?

I've been using H20 Xpress(Academy's store brand) for my crankbaits and have seen no difference in the fish. Worms I use Zoom, but that's typical of everyone I believe.
Does the OB favor name-brand baits over random names? If so do you just like the identify with the brand, or does it actually produce better?

If it works it works.
Brand don't mean shite.

My thoughs are I will end up losing it sooner or later so why buy the more expensive one

That's why I switched. It cost me a lot less when I lose a bait.

Biggest thing with the hard baits like crankbaits are the hooks. Cheaper brands have cheaper hooks, but very easy to upgrade them. I buy those cheap Pop R type baits from BPS, cut the hooks off and replace rear one with a VMC. Same goes for the H2O brands. Soft plastics, pretty loyal to the Zoom brush hogs and lizards and Culprit worms.

Nope

I haven't had a problem with hooks yet, but I did upgrade a few just because I wanted a bigger hook.

Depends on the bait.

Nope, action is the most important thing

No shame in just catching little fish buddy. They'll make a fold over sammich.
I catch redfish and bass where I fish and freshwater baits don't do well against reds to begin with, much less the inexpensive ones.

Oh yeah I'd have to change it if I went after reds. They'd tear that shite up.

Not at all unless its a black and white h&h, that's my go to.
Posted on 2/27/13 at 10:02 pm to CajunFootball
If the color is right I don't think the fish mind if its bandit, BPS brand or academy brand 
Posted on 2/27/13 at 10:09 pm to CajunFootball
Nope. Most of my baits have caught more fishermen than fish. If I would just stick to the classics (senkos/taddys/yozuris/spoons) I would be just fine. But I get all "pie eyed" when I see something new and wind up just filling my tackle box with shite.
Posted on 2/27/13 at 10:11 pm to CajunFootball
Smitwick rouges and bandit crank baits.
Otherwise, no.

Truth! Want to see some serious butt hurt? Whip somebody's arse with a $1 chugger, when he's fishing a yellow magic.

It doesn't matter to me . The only difference to me is in crankbaits . You can pull a bandit out of the box and fish where as to me a Norman , or h2o express you usually have to tune somewhat . I've swapped to big bait creatures instead of zoom baby brush hogs and can't tell a difference in the amount of fish I catch . Spinnerbaits I only use war eagle but that's just preference no other reason . I use big bite sweet beavers also and caught just as many as with a reaction innovation .

I actually started just buying whatever lures Bill Dance used. Seemed to work out pretty cotton pickin well so far.
Posted on 2/27/13 at 10:26 pm to Capt ST
Oh believe me I have. Just with a beetle spin not a chugger
