>>598107Depends on what you're fishing for, where you are and even the time of day and season. If you're starting out it's probably best to avoid lures just due to the expense of losing them to beginners mistakes. Losing a nightcrawler cost practically nothing. If you don't like handling live worms, plastic worms are cheap. I've had good luck with them but many say they're not as effective at attracting fish as a live worm. I also fish with crickets a lot. They work pretty well but if you don't like hooking worms, you're not going to like getting cricket guts on your fingers.
