>>2461296>Oh...uh... interesting, I guess? Why the fuck would anyone buy those thoughBecause back in the day, there were a lot more fish and they'd bite a much wider variety of lures and plastics. That's partly due to the fact that the population of human beings in the US has doubled since the 1950s, partly because so many fishing areas have been made "accessible" so that morbidly obese welfare-scroungers can park their mobility carts at the dock all day, and part of it, probably, is that plastics have had to get more realistic because fish have "learned" about plastics (through natural selection, not consciously).
Part of it too is probably human impact on fish populations: Mexicans, Chinese, blacks, and rednecks filling up three Lowe's buckets illegally, muh climate something or other, introduction of invasive species, etc.
There's a reason why Ned rigs, wacky rigs, Carolina rigs, and so on are all the rage these days. It's way, way harder to fish for us (in most locales) than it was for our grandfathers and great-grandfathers.
