Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted April 3, 2013 Super User Posted April 3, 2013 I was in WalMart the other night and they had a bargain bin full of these. They were only like 2 bucks so I figured why not? Even with my limited fishing experience, I can tell the hooks are garbage and need replacing but that's not a big deal. The package says Suspending Twitch Bait. It looks like a jerkbait but there's no lip on it. I've never fished jerkbaits but I'm pretty sure all the one's I've seen on the BPS/TW websites have lips on them. Is this bait fished the same way? Also it says 'Saltwater'. If its a bait made for saltwater, will fishing it in fresh water affect the buoyancy/the way it suspends? Quote
CPBassFishing Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 It's basically a subsurface walking bait like the rapala subwalk and a few of the livetarget saltwater lures. Quote
The Young Gun Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 It sounds to me like a bait that suspends in the water colum and doesn't have any action when reeled in so you twitch it with your rod to get the bait to move. Quote
Oldplug Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I think I seen one if the TV fisherman demonstrating something of that nature last week. It's not really anything new people been twitching there sinking lures for years. But I imagine since he caught fish on it. They will be all over the place by years end. . Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 3, 2013 Super User Posted April 3, 2013 It's basically a subsurface walking bait like the rapala subwalk and a few of the livetarget saltwater lures. Exactly what it is, I use them quite a bit, in freshwter too. Popular ones are Mirrolure catch 2000 and Bomber boink a doink. i used the Mirror lure this morning. Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted April 3, 2013 Author Super User Posted April 3, 2013 So I just walk it like a spook, just underwater? Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted April 3, 2013 Super User Posted April 3, 2013 So I just walk it like a spook, just underwater? Yes. Slight rod twitches or short pulls with some slack in your line. Watch how the bait reacts boatside or bankside to get a better feel for what movement makes it work the best. Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted April 4, 2013 Author Super User Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks guys. I tried it out a bit today. Didn't catch anything but now I have a good idea of how I need to fish it. Quote
