Worst Lure ever bought?

[Blade-Runner]

Leverage Spinnerbait by McGuiness.

Good idea, not so good for people who use the spinnerbait as a primary heavy-cover bait.

I don't like buzzbaits with movable "wire" hooks either...

Might be better for open-water applications.

[zaraspook_dylan2]

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

[BriBass]

walking worm

kicktail minnow

[skunked_again]

thats my pick.

when you guys say strike kick rattle trap youre not talking about the Red Eyed Shad are you?

i killed the fish from the bank with that bait this year.

[Blue Streak]

Rapala Sub Walk. I gave it a good chance, finally threw it away. I was never more turned off on a bait. Might be ok for salt water.

[BassThumb]

Another +1 for the Banjo Minnow.

[superduperdan]

I'm going with Blue Streak on this one.....the subwalk is not a good lure. (for me)

banjo minnow

[maineman]

For me it is the banjo minnow except one afternoon years ago.I had my two son and two of there friends with me in the boat. We were fishing along along a stretch of shore line that i us to fish all the time from shore when i was a kid. One of the boys saw the banjo minnows in my tackle box and they all wanted to use them,no problem! I tied them on and stared catching one smallmouth after the other!And these smalles were all in the two to three # range, where if you catch one this size on this stretch it was rare!To say i was busy as a one leg-ed man in a *** kicking contest ,the boys were all 7 to 9 year olds.I know for a hour and a half they landed at less 16 bass.This is one of my fondest memories of fishing i ever had!I have never from that day one ever had any luck with the banjo,but what ever i pay for them is price less.I think :'( :)god was smiling down on us that day. Ps TAKE A KID FISHING !!!!

[dead eye]

The Dancing eel, what a piece of crap. I could not catch anything but snags on it.

[roadwarrior]

The Whole Ragetail thing got me. I mustve purchased $100 in different varieties.Tried em(Space Monkey,Anaconda,Craw) and only caught 2 fish. I was using a 10 inch Anaconda and caught a fish that was shorter than the bait. I tried em T-rigged,keel weighted,nothing seemed to work too well.

Theyre still in my tackle bag and I may break em out again,but I aint gettin my hopes up that they will catch decent fish(yet)

Put them up for sale in the Flea Market.

We have plenty of Rage Tail fans. Offer

the lot with a reasonable discount and

they will sell immediately.

rage tails have become one of my favorite plastics.  the smokin rooster which came out so late in the season, just a few weeks before the lakes froze in my area, will probably be tied on more than any other plastic this year.  they will sell FASTER than immediately lol

[simplejoe]

Whoever don't want their Rage Baits send them my way. After I catch a fish with them I'll send you a pic.

My worst bait has been, Matzuo Cranks. They roll on their side while cranking it. >

[Raul]

Curious, what is the worst or the fishing lure you are most ashamed to confess buying?

I ain 't ashamed, the worst lure I 've ever bought was Heddon 's Cousin and Heddon 's Cousin II, man I 've even thrown them into the thickest, nastiest, lure hangiest cover I 've found to see if I can loose them and nope, they always come back  , ahh, but I bet if I throw a Lucky Craft or a Megabass bait into the same mess and it 's going to hang up in an eyeblink.  Go figure  :.

[bear7625]

I don't remember who made them, but I bought a couple of surface baits that were made of rubber. They were really bad. We still laugh about them when they show up in one of the grand kids tackle box. ;D

[rat-l-trapper]

Mine was a topwater made made by cotton cordell. This thing was small, and in the water it sat totaly vertical with only its head out of the water. It looked horrible no matter how I worked it.

[Bobby Uhrig]

Skirts fell apart on the evolution jig??? HMMM If something like that happened just call and i will give ya new ones- WHAT THE PROBLIM IZ ??

[NewAngler]

Rage tail shad. Again, I know plenty of guys swear by the RT line.  I have had no success with this, and have thrown this bait for hours with nothing. Same spot, same time of the day, I would slay them with a buzzbait.

[ChiCityBasser]

My worst picks would be the Rapala Sub Walk, The Bill Dance Dancing Eel and the Matzuo cranks. I think all these hit the trash at some point and time or they are buried in the junk tackle box

[fishfordollars]

I never thought I'd see a thread with the Banjo Minnow mentioned that would not be immediately taken down.

[KYntucky Warmouth]

I've not been able to buy a bite on ragetail baits, flukes, or x-raps.  I think I've caught more fish on a banjo minnow than a fluke, and it's not from lack of trying.  I also don't really like LC Sammys, I'd rather have a spook.

[cowboy00]

yum dancing eel

[Gangley]

Terminator Tiny T Jig.  Picked it up straight out of the box and the weedguard fell right out, lol.  The guard was one big glued mass of plastic strands.  Picked up the seond box, opened it and the same thing.  Will not buy another Terminator anything.

[brushhoggin]

i'm gonna say the dancing eel IS complete crap. looks like a tadpole that took extenz. bass hate tadpoles. as far as the evo jig, i'm shocked. i thought that was a trustworthy proper name brand that was selling them for a bit more than the usual jig because it was guaranteed quality? sheeshh :-[

[owl]

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

I need another.
