bweave09 Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Anybody try it yet? I saw it in Dick's Sporting Goods the other day. It looks pretty cheap, but I'm pretty cheap myself and 8 bucks for a swimbait sounds good to me. Quote
Mattlures Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Post a pic or a link. I googled it and I am not sure I found the same bait. If so it looked like junk and I am sure I can recomend a better option around the same price. (without recomending one of mine) Quote

(without recomending one of mine) Yeah, I Googled it and came up with what looks like a spook imitation, not a swimbait. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted April 21, 2010 Super User Posted April 21, 2010 is this it? looks VERY similar to the River2Sea V-Joint Minnow Quote
Super User Raul Posted April 21, 2010 Super User Posted April 21, 2010 No need to try it, Matzuo baits are junk. Quote
HuntFishAK Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 No need to try it, Matzuo baits are junk. I beg to differ. I caught the fish in my avatar and a 4 lb'er in the same day on a Matzuo Huntin' Dawg. I've caught more fish on that lure than I have on a LC Sammy. Best $2.50 I've spent. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted April 21, 2010 Super User Posted April 21, 2010 The topwaters are, in fact, more than decent. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted April 21, 2010 Super User Posted April 21, 2010 it looks like an almost exact copy of the River2Sea V-Joint minnow, which i can tell you from experience, is a great bait. i can't speak for any Matzuo products though... Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted April 22, 2010 Super User Posted April 22, 2010 No need to try it, Matzuo baits are junk. I know a certain Lake Erie fisherman who will disagree with that statement. He has more 6 pound smallmouth to his name than you can shake a stick at. Quote
bweave09 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 I would take a picture of it next time I go to Dick's, but I went in Falls Lake with my blackberry in March and the camera is out of commission. I'll try to get my buddy to take a picture if I go again. It's a pretty small hard plastic swimbait with a few joints. They're only like 8 or 9 bucks. I'll pick one up and let everyone know how it goes (if the woman doesn't spend all my money this weekend). They have Rage Tail Anacondas, Space Monkeys, and Lizards on sale for 2.79 and Yum Forked Dingers for 1.47 so I need to make a trip anyways. By the way, if you are in the Columbia Area, it is the Dick's on Harbison. Deer hunting videos are on sale for 4 or 5 bucks too. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted April 22, 2010 Super User Posted April 22, 2010 That picture I posted isn't the one you're talking about? I saw a whole bunch of Matzuo Zen stuff the other day and that was the only swimbait in the series unless they didn't have the whole series at that time. Quote

I was looking at em but I think they are too heavy for what I have. I might pick one up anyway and just throw it on my heaviest setup. They look incredible. I'm too cheap for a lot of swimbaits, but from what I've read on this website, the 20 something dollar pricetag on yours seems to be very much worth it. Quote
bweave09 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 got it http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-2-Zen-Matzuo-Quinate-ZQ9-Fishing-Lures-NEW-2010-/260578666347?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cabb2e76b Quote
Super User Dan: Posted April 22, 2010 Super User Posted April 22, 2010 ahhh, gotcha. Don't remember seeing that one at the DSG near me. That guy has some nerve charging $20 for a lure you can buy for $8-9... Quote
bweave09 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 Ya, he's selling 2 but its still pricey. I have found that DSG is really hit or miss from store to store Quote
Super User Dan: Posted April 22, 2010 Super User Posted April 22, 2010 HAHA! I didn't even notice it was 2! That's not too bad. Quote
Mattlures Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 those are not the ones that I was thinking. They could be junk or decent depending upon how durable they are. They look like they should swim decent. I am not a big fan of all the the little hard shad "simbaits". However they are all comparable. If you can find one of those baits cheap in a decent color then try it. I dont think I like the $20 for 2 of them though. One thing you have to check before fishing, is the strength of the hook holders. Many of the plastic China swimbaits are notorious for having the hardware pull out under big fish pressure. Just apply reasonable preasure and if it stays put then you should be fine but if you notice some play then, at the very least reinforce it with some superglue. Quote
bweave09 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 Thanks for the help guys. I'll be sure to check the hook holders when i pick one up. Quote
Diggy Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I bought this today for 1.98 on clearance...will try it this week Quote
