I look at grunt calls, rattle bags, scents & lures the same way I look at fishing tackle. It's not going to work if I left it at home, right?
Some days fish want purple plastic worms, some daysit's a top water lure, some days a crankbait. Sure, the time of year sometimes dictates which you reach for first, but you still have them with you.
Because there just might be a buck, just out of sight, that is in the perfect mood for whatever you're going to grab next. You just never know. That's part of the fun!
