fishermantony Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 I've only used this thing once, and it was in a strong wind from the bank, but to me it didn't look like it had any better action than a jitterbug. Maybe not even as good as a jitterbug. This thing produce good for anybody? Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 6, 2010 Super User Posted May 6, 2010 Can 't tell, I 've got several Turbuleance and Parahatch but never fished them, they are so expensive and hard to find that I only have them as collectibles, for the ooohh 's and ahhhh 's my pals say when they see them ( food for the ego ).

fishermantony Posted May 6, 2010 Author Posted May 6, 2010 Yea, I had to have mine shipped from Japan, very expensive. Maybe I shouldn't have used mine either, just thought it was so unique that it may have given me some kind of advantage. Well at least I still have it in it's original box. Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 6, 2010 Super User Posted May 6, 2010 The truth is that with certain Japanese baits like those topwaters I don 't see any extra edge over more conventional run of the mill baits like the Jitterbug, let 's face it, yeah they are strange, odd, rare but baits like the Jitterbug have a very long history of being productive, here 's another pretty jitterbugesque bait I 've got from Lucky Craft, got several and they are beautiful, don 't fish them either, what for ? got several older than dirt Jitterbugs that still catch fish: Lucky Craft Waterbug http://cgi.ebay.com/Lucky-Craft-Top-Water-Bait-Water-Bug-Tamamushi-/350327557682?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5191264e32 Quote
fishermantony Posted May 7, 2010 Author Posted May 7, 2010 Makes sense, thanks for the input and the pic. Quote
