Summary
We've said it time and time again... one of the main keys to becoming a consistent inshore saltwater angler is to become a specialist with one or two lures. Well, Floridian Eric Lhopitault took our advice and fished with just one paddletail lure (Z-Man SLAM SHADY) for an entire year!
What happened surprised even Eric!
