was discussing with another collector the other day about the need to have all variation of all colors. this picture shows a little bit about my point, its just too much. these(or most of them) are shads, and even though there is no real variation, its hard to find more then 2 that are really the same. there has been an obvious progression in the shad pattern over the years. and i just can not bring myself to get too worked up over this. now to say having FT is good enough, and not FT1,FT2,FT3,FT4 is maybe a little to far the other way. but i dont get worked up for which ones have lipstick and what ones dont, ect. but after looking at that picture, i have only one thought, i do not use the shad rap nearly enough.

Ryan - Great to see that you found all those lures! I am curious - are those for collection or for fishing? And why the preference for Finish lures?

Thanks. I just seem to catch more fish on the Finland models. Also, the best producing shad color for me is the color that has the scales all the way down the side, all of those shads are Finlands.

You are right bacon, none of them really look the same.
