Got My Sebiles

[D4u2s0t]

I just recently got a Sebile magic swimmer, and today I got in the magic swimmer soft, these things look pretty sick.  Can't wait to try them out.  Scored big time on ebay, got the magic swimmer soft, a pack of senkos, a box of money minnows, and a box of fat money minnows for 15 dollars!

Great buy! Was this one shot deal? Or are they offering the same thing again?

[D4u2s0t]

It wasn't a buy it now, I just lucked out with the high bid.  Knowing that the sebile's alone go for 15-16 dollars, I figured there was no chance I would get it when I bid 20.  I forgot about it until I got the email that I won lol. 

When I shop on ebay, what I often do is sort by ending soonest, and then look through what hasn't been bid on.  You can end up getting tons of stuff for crazy cheap.  I got 50 mustad keel weighted hooks last year for like 13 dollars, and too much other stuff to list.

I'm looking forward to giving these a shot for some walleye... I got my first usa walleye over the weekend, foul hooked a 2 incher lol.  I've gone out maybe 3-4 times this year specifically targetting them, had 3 bite through the line, none landed.

The magic swimmer softs are amazing, action is crazy, I love how the bait changes what it does simply by moving or adding the weights... it's like having several baits in one, and you can quickly change what you want without using a different bait.  The bass still are not biting good in my lake, but it's starting to warm up, just starting to see them coming more shallow and getting active.

That's a steal!

first one was mangled after one fish.  i'm going to see if the other 2 are more durable.

The durability has me worried. I get a pack eventually but I dont know if the cost will be worth keeping them stocked in my arsenal. If they were big fish baits it would be one thing but magic swimmers catch all sizes of bass.  :-/

[D4u2s0t]

If you want i'll let you know how the others hold up.  I fished the first one for about 45 minutes or so, and like I said caught one fish.  The 2nd one I used for probably a half hour yesterday, and half hour today, no fish on it.  I'm going out all day tomorrow, so hopefully i'll have an update on that.

[D4u2s0t]

so here's my take on the magic swimmer softs, they're probably one of the best looking soft baits i've ever seen in the water.  The downside, is that the durability sucks.  the 2nd sebile was ripped to shreds when I had a hit, and didn't hook the fish.  The 3rd bait fell apart without a single hit.  The area around the nose where you insert the hook is so small, and there's barely anything there.  Also, I couldn't get a single weight to stay where I put it... after every cast, they always ended up in the belly.

For the price, I don't think i'll ever buy them again.  For $15 for 3 baits, I expect them to last more than 15 minutes of fishing, especially when they don't last for even 1 fish.

Thanks for the info. I was going to try them but I'm not interested in making Sebile rich at my expense.

I'm curious to see if anyone has had the same experience...

I've had the same experience too. I don't plan on buying them  again

wow.  such a shame with a bait that's this amazing to just fall apart so easily...  i'm sure they must have put some time and research into this, a quick look at the bait and it just stands out how there's maybe 4 millimeters of plastic holding your hook on. 

If this was a more durable bait, I would probably always have one tied on.  I just can't imagine buying baits that fall apart before you even hook a fish.
