oprcsr Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 They look great. I'm pretty interested in the walking spook/sammy type version. http://www.facebook.com/pages/LIVETARGET-Lures/164445051102#!/photo.php?pid=5717081&id=164445051102 Quote
oprcsr Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 I'd guess between 11-15 bucks, like most of their other stuff. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted July 9, 2010 Super User Posted July 9, 2010 Superb finishes on all the Koppers for sure. However, does that make them more effective? If a bass will hit an all white soft jerkbait, or a black worm, why is the attention to detail the cornerstone to Kopper's lures? Maybe more to do with catching more fishermen than fish! As I've said in the past, if it moves and can fit in a bass's jaw, it's fair game and will be attacked if seen by that bass. The bass has no choice in this matter. It has to react to an opportunity - or it won't survive. I don't think it looks at the pattern on the BACK of a frog and determines that this is what it needs to eat! JMO. Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Seems silly to put that kind of detail on a bait that will only be seen from below. You could spraypaint the whole thing solid white and catch just as many fish. Quote
oprcsr Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 True on the detail. The hardbait version though does look a bit more like a frog with legs extended than just a tube like the others. Most lures catch me more than they catch fish:) Quote
tennsopher Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 I think they may be on to something.Ask Huddleston or Castaic how many bubblegum colored trout imitators they sell.It boils down to water clarity.Fish can see five times better than us in the water.Also I dont think all fish first notice a bait from directly below it.

Bass Junkie Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 I agree with Tennsopher. A lot of baits are viewed from the side by Bass, even walking baits. Also, if you have ever paused a walking bait, you'll notice the back end sinks in the water, sitting in a nose up position. This allows for Bass to study the bait a bit, especially if its a pause lasting more than a few seconds. As for their other baits, as has been stated, water clarity has a great deal to do with the necessity of realism in color patterns. And realism adds a great boost of confidence, which is a definitive good thing 8-) Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted July 9, 2010 Super User Posted July 9, 2010 Hmmm that looks pretty good. Quote
