i seen some poorboy plastic bait in cabela's today...any good?

Yeah, they have some nice stuff.

Gobies- tho there have been similar style baits out for years ( sculpins, mudpups ) Poor Boys put them on the map and started a craze.  Several other companies are making them now, and they are all selling.

Darters-  the small zipper style baits put Poor Boys on the map a few years back.  They were used as an alternative to tubes when the bite was slow.  Attatch them to a darter heads and work them with with short snaps off the bottom for reaction strikes.  They also work well on a drop shot.

Stickbaits-  Not crazy about these.  They are flat on the bottom and surprisingly stiff for a hand poured bait ( at least the ones i bought ).  Not very much action either.  When wacky rigged, they just kinda fall with at an angler and dont really have a good wobble.

They make a lot of other stuff as well.  Craw baits, jig trailers, tubes, etc.  Check out there website for the full product line.  If you buy them, you will like them, no doubt.  Plus, you will keep the Indiana economy going, i think he has an entire village pouring baits for him.

I really like those Erie Darters. Watermelon/Gold works well for me, but I use them on a football head. I used the football heads because of the rock in Erie. I also had good luck with them on the Chompers stand up heads. I guess there is really no wrong way to use them, and they do catch fish.
