BassAssassins14 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I love their baits !!! What do u guys think about them Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 PTL is a good company. They sponsor my clubs open buddy tournament we host ever year. They are friends with my club president. The Texas Rig Jig is hands down why PTL is what it is today. And if im ordering any product by them thats what it usually is. However, I think their baits are a bit pricey. There's other companys out there who charge way less for almost the exact same thing, and examaple being the shakey head worms. This is why I buy different plastics from many different companies. I like to mix things up a lot and see what best fits my budget/needs at the given moment. Iv'e had a lot of success on the texas rig jigs though, and my favorite color is green pumpkin/blue swirl. I nail em on it. -Mike P.S. If you order or use some of the t-rig jigs get yourself a bottle of mend-it. And when they get beat up and out of shape, work your magic on them. You might get a few more fish out of each one this way. 1 Quote
Primus Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I've been pleased with everything I've tried. The JP Hammer Shad, Swinging Hammer & the Craw D'oeurve have done well. I have not fished the Texas Rig Jig, how do you guys usually rig it ? Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 $7.19 for 6 craws? you gotta be kiddin' me Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 After winning two tournaments at two different times of the year using their products, I was sold. I tried using some of my other standbys (GYCBs, Zoom, Berkley Powerbait, Big Bites, Gander Mtn., Strike King, etc.) but did not have near the amount of hits nor landed fish. It's all about what you have confidence with and what works in your area. Heck, I even use their products in the salt water as well and have landed several nice fish so far including last week's 21" striped bass. Even if you swear by another plastics brand or have a sponsorship deal in place, do yourself a favor and at least order a bottle of the Hog Tonic. That alone is worth the money. I own almost every offering they have minus the Bully Grass Devil and Conviction Craw. I don't fish any waters that require punching, so the BGD is not a necessity for me; however, my next order will have some of the Conviction Craws in it. Quote
CTGalloway21 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I wish the craw devoure was a little bit bigger. Also, the tickler worms work great on shaky head. the 4.8 inch swinging hammer is great on the back of a Dirty California swim jig Quote
Rusty Shackleford Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Texas Rig Jig and Hammer Shad are clutch for me, always get a bite. Quote
sarcazmo Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I too enjoy PTL lures but agree that they're a bit too pricey. I bought a ton on clearance a while back so I'm good for a long while though. Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I'd like to share some points of clarification for those that have concerns over the pricing of the PTL offerings. 1. PTL offers a deal of the day everyday of the week that is 15% off - http://www.powerteamlures.com/dealoftheday.asp 2. PTL offers the ability to create custom kits of the colors and plastics that you want and it includes the tackle tray, the terminal tackle and samples of the Hog Tonic (http://www.powerteamlures.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1906) 3. PTL offers a rewards points program that earns you discounts on future orders - http://www.powerteamlures.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1853 4. PTL offers standard shipping on small orders and free shipping on all orders over $100 - http://www.powerteamlures.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1852 5. PTL offers significant discounts on Pro Packs (20%) versus standard packs - http://www.powerteamlures.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1854 6. PTL offers a code for Facebook Fans (FBFAN) that provides free shipping on orders over $25. Now I realize several of you are loyal to your respective plastics and brands, but I think I have clearly provided the facts of how you the angler can save money. To make an arbitrary statement that their plastics are overpriced is not fair, nor is it accurate. Powerteam Lures is the only company that I have encountered that offers so many opportunities to save money on your purchase directly from the producer. You don't have to go through a reseller to get some form of discount. These are direct from PTL themselves. Next time you are interested in their products, go directly to their site and take advantage of these savings - http://www.powerteamlures.com Now you have the facts. Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Before you order next time, just drop me a line and ask. I can give you an exact cost on your total order and any special codes that you may be able to utilize to save some money. Quote
5fishlimit Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I just bought a pack of the craw d'oeuvre and am excited to try them. The hog tonic is some potent stuff! Quote
