CPBassFishing Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 To anyone that has fished them - Can these be rigged on a thinwire EWG hook? If so, are they neutrally bouyant or have any floating characteristics to them? I have an evil idea I want to try courtesy of one of our BR faithful. nope.....like all rage tail baits, they are salted and sink slowly by themselves. However, if you rig this bait right it will plane up. Quote
CPBassFishing Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Loving these baits steve. I picked up a pack in green pumpkin gold and purple flake on my last TW order and they are sick. I love the way they plane up when you twitch them. The legs have a really nice subtle kicking action. I can't wait to dredge some points with these on a carolina rig in the spring. Rigging: Sideways-1/0-4/0 EWG, texas rigged or weightless Vertical- 1/4 oz 4/0 weighted hook, fish like a swimbait or hop it off the bottom. Might be other ways that I haven't discovered yet. Jig trailer? Not so much. I put on on a jig and the hook slot kinda lumped up around the hook and made a weird profile. I think the menace will do better. Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I know the walmart I go to right now doesn't have them but they're opening a new one closer to me next week. Ill have to check. My local walmart only carries the toads and shads. you could try the BPS in Hanover, MD at Anne Arundel Mills. But the last two BPS(Richmond, VA; Hanover, MD) i checked at for Rage Tail Craws and Lizards didnt have them when they previously had loads of them, for some reason most all the Rage Tail baits but a couple mysteriously dissappeared off the shelves...

I went to the Hanover BPS about a month ago and they had all the Rage Baits. I got a pack of these and the Eeliminators. Can't wait to fish them. It was kind of a pain to find the plastics I wanted to buy though. I feel like it would have been easier if they were organized by brand name rather than type of bait. Like have all the Rage stuff together and all the Zoom stuff together etc. 1 Quote
rabidsquirrel Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Anyone using this bait successfully on the Lake Harris Chain (Central Florida)? If so, what colors and how are you rigging / presenting them? I've got a tournament coming up, and I've got a mind to use these (Picked up a pack of Blue Craw) in a tournament tomorrow (Lake Harris Bay Area Bassmasters' Tournament). They look like excellent baits for certain conditions. I've thrown them in some of my local ponds, but haven't had any bites on them yet - however the bite has been slow all the way around, so this isn't an indication of the bait's potential IMHO. Quote

Like have all the Rage stuff together and all the Zoom stuff together etc. i feel the same way about BPS, they should organize by brand name instead of bait type in my opinion. it would make it much easier for me to find something...perhaps when i went it was a seasonal thing where they removed some of their fishing stuff temporarily to make more room for winter stuff...im planning to make a trip there soon to the Hanover store, i just won $450 on a football block sheet for the super bowl and got some extra cash to blow, i want to try these shellcrackers out myself. i've had days where ragetail products(lizards, craws and toads) outfished live nightcrawlers another guy was using in a pond where usually nightcrawlers will catch every bass in the pond and artificials might get you one or two...

Comfortably Numb Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Ya these are a good lookin bait. Saw Denny pitchin one on Major League Fishing. Quote
Jell0b0y Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 These look pretty interesting. When I head to BPS during the spring classic I am going to have to get a couple packs to try. Seen Stacey King using a Jika rig this morning an thinking this might be a good bait for that especial this spring. Quote
Scorcher214 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Any chance I might see some in white soon ? Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted February 10, 2013 Super User Posted February 10, 2013 #13 and #144 with some #108 and #109 for good measure. Had very, very good results on it all the way in to December in a couple places. Quote
