Creature Baits

[K_Mac]

BPS has "beaver style baits" ... BUT not the one they are referring to above... Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver is basically found online, I've seen some dick's carry them but not all.

But if you get a beaver the R.I. beaver is a great one... good colors too.

Tackle Warehouse has the RI Sweet Beavers. Great baits. T-rigged, on a non-skirted football jig, and as a jig trailer.

I have used the BPS knock-offs of the Beav and have had success with them as well.

I fish creature baits often, mostly t-rigged and dragged or hopped along the bottom.  My new fave is the rage tail smokin rooster.  The action on these things is incredible, even with the most subtle twitch of the rod or twist of the reel.  Since they've come out, i've almost always had one tied on with great success. 

I've also done well with assorted brush hog type baits.  I've had the best luck with the hogs weightless, and just dead sticked on the bottom.  Throw it out, hit the bottom on slack, and if the fish doesn't get it on the way down, just let it sit there.  For some reason, they just seem to pick up the brush hog baits.

So zoom, and rage tail space monkey

Texas rigged, anything other brands? Just flipping them around weeds and stuff. Slowly working them on the bottom or dancing them?

wooly hawg tail.

I ran over to BPS tonight and the only one that I saw that I really liked was the Gambler Ugly Otter 4" in Money craw b/c I like the look of the pumpkin and green. I have a ton of watermelon, black/blue, and junebug so I thought I'd try this color. These things look good. I have a pack of wooly hawg tails in Black neon red too (I've had these for a while though)

Here's the Gambler:

I like Berkely Crazy Legs Chigger Craws and the Power Hawg.

I use the Reaction Innovations in the SaltWater for Calico bass.  They seem to work well across the board :-) .

+another for the Space Monkey

I t-rig it from weightless to 3/8oz bullet weight, to anywhere in between. You can drag it, swim it, twitch it, and even buzz it on the top pretty nicely. It's my search bait

I generally use a little weight, so the legs flutter on the fall as well as the retrieve, but I did just fine on Sunday rigging it weightless.

Well I got one fish on the ugly otter this morning and missed about 3 more! I was fishing it on a carolina rig. I will be throwing these again!
