Worst Lure ever bought?

[FISHUNTER]

Helicopter lure for me.  Seemed to send everything running the other way.  The fact that it resembles a helicopter, which is a common forage for bass :.....should have been the dead givaway that this lure wasn't going to work

[Bass XL]

I also don't really like LC Sammys, I'd rather have a spook.

Competely agree. I'll keep using it, but just not a huge fan.

On a side note...No matter how much you bash the Banjo Minnow...I've seen first hand that lure catch some really good fish. Even though he gets crap for it, a good friend of mine swears by em.

yozuri jerk bait in green and white.  looked like the bait monkey drank some green and white paint, ate a hot dog whole and barfed it all up.  what was i thinking!?!

[bass or bass ?]

One of my partners bought the Banjo Minnow. LMAO!

[Red Bear]

x-raps have been bad for me. not as far as catching fish as much as the fish absolutely destroy it. the last one i bought was missing both eyes and the lip broke off after 3 fish.

also, i used to catch bass on the flying lure all the time as a kid

WHAT!!  really, I have done well on those.  But, mostly catching pike.

scares the hell out of bass

that lure is to bass as insane clown posse is to a wine and cheese dinner party.  yup pretty much clears the room.

HAHAHAHAH, that is awesome!  (putting that one in the memory banks for later use.)

I absolutely LOVE my Evolution jigs, please if you don't want them i'd be more than happy to take them off of your hands.

I absolutely despise the BPS branded hard baits, Any form of Chatterbait, and BitsyBug jigs.  :-/

[Beastie Bass]

Chatter bait, had one for three years and still haven't caught anything on it.. I think I'm fishing it wrong because I watch pro's catch bass on em

Whoa! My wife bought me the chatterbait kit 3-4 yrs ago and from the first cast I KEEP HAMMERING FISH ON IT! I retrieve it with slow hops and it's seen as much use as my jigs. I bought the CHATTERSHAD though, what a joke! :

[jdw174]

Dancin' Eel, hands down.  As for the Flying Lure, I never used them for bass, but wore out crappie with the smaller ones.

[iceintheveins]

I have caught a lot of fish on the banjo minnow. Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Brook Trout, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Pike, Crappie, Perch and bluegills. They stink compared to flukes, sluggos, or senkos though.

The worst lure I have ever tried is the Lucky Craft Live Pointer. The tail doesn't swish and it has little action period. A cheap little crankbait called an "ugly duckling" also ranks up there, didn't dive at ALL, just ran STRAIGHT as an arrow on the surface.

[Primus]

I forgot about the Live Pointer, though I think Lucky Craft is one of the better tackle companies they sure released a dog with that bait.

Man, ain't that a fact! Very disappointing,

but now that I have recently given two away,

I am interested to hear how those guys do

with them.

[ROCbass]

A lipless crank with no rattles with a hole thru the middle that supposedly creates turbulence that mimics a baitfish. I think it was called the Ambush Stealth Diver. I remember reading an article about them in In-Fisherman a few years back and bought a couple when I saw them on clearance at Gander Mtn. Never caught a thing on them, and have loaded the boat in the same spot after switching to a different lipless bait on a couple occasions.

[Avalonjohn44]

Chatterbaits, Dancin' Eels, King Shad, Helicopter Lure... And... Gulp! Sucks!

[Sfritr]

You know I thought the flying lure was junk as well, but,  come to think of it, the flying lure exibits almost exactly the same characteristics as my favorite smallie bait, THE FAT IKA..   hmmmmmmmm

Maybe it was more of a confidence thing, and the fact that you could bend the hooks with your hand.

RW  whats your take on this thought?????

[Hammer 4]

Reaction strike 5" swimbait.. :

[brushhoggin]

I've had very good luck with the Yum Dancin' Eel.

I need another.

i'll sell u mine for 99 cents

[noway]

Fat IKA fished every possible way.

Rage Tail Shad.  Watched fish just plain get out of the way of this pos.

The rage shad was my number 1 bait last year. simply deadly!!!

[jacobhookem]

Don't know the name. It was a diving lure. It ran on 2 watch batteries. It had blinking red eyes. I cast it a few times. it hung, > I lost it. Good riddance!

haha i bought one of those things at the local sporting place and threw it one and it ran on its side all the way in. By the way the bait was suposed to dive to 20 feet... I guess it was just a horrible lure.

After reading this thread I have to wonder if guys are not using certain baits when they should, or use them for their strengths. I realy do like my rage shads. Now I'll be honest, I preferr a good buzzbait. I am confident in a buzzer and I am good with them. However, there are many times I would like to throw a buzzer but I cant because its too weedy. This is where I use the rage shad. I use it for its weedlessness. Some guys might opt for a frog or toad but I preferr the rage shad as a weedless buzzbait.

Now I have to agree with the Dancin eel. I tried but I threw in the towel. I couldnt get bit on it. I have caught fish on the moto chug and it was exciting. Huge blow ups. I havent tried any other TV baits

[owl]

I put yum on the Dancin eel. I fished it slow & stop. worked great.

[roadwarrior]

Surprising...I think most guys have had great

luck with both of these baits. The Fat Ika has

been just as productive as the Senko for me.
