I remember not too long ago, there was a thread where someone was asking about good alternative lures to the ever popular LC FM 110. I myself have been wondering this as it seems that everytime I tie on one of my FMs, I feel like I am playing Russian Roulette with my $20 investment. Since I started working at TackleWarehouse, I have been compiling a list of possible replacements for the FM which are also for the most part less expensive.
Note: These are in no particular order and followed by what I feel are the best colors.
Damiki Striker 90 (black holo, chatreuse shad, ghost smog) $11.99
Daiwa DB Minnow (prism shad, pearl) $5.95
Bomber Suspending Pro Long A (blue flash, silver flash blue back, clown flash, golden bengal) $6.99
Reaction Strike XRM (american shad, sexy shad) $9.99
Spro McStick (blue bandint, chrome shad, clown, old glory) $11.49
XCalibur Xs4 (black chrome/orange, clown, gold bream, pearl melon, peal shad) $12.99
as well as a couple other LC lures that seem to be pretty popular orders at TW
LC Slender Pointer (97, 112, 127)MR
LC Spazz Jerkbait (I think I may get myself one of these)
Hopefully someone on these boards will find this helpful. Soon enough I'll pick some of these up and let you guys know how it goes...although I still have yet to catch anything on the FM
