OHIO Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Any experience with these? I picked one up with the left overs from my gift cards. It seems pretty well made, but I don't know much about swimbaits. Nice paint job too for a 15 dollar swimbait. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted January 10, 2011 Super User Posted January 10, 2011 the fins on that thing look like toothbrush bristles. maybe basspro is into the fishes oral care. Quote
OHIO Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 Haha I think they might be. I am starting to second guess myself about purchasing it. Each piece is held together by some sort of cloth and I don't know if that is going to hold up. I also picked up a Tru Tungsten Tru Life that I have heard good things about. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted January 10, 2011 Super User Posted January 10, 2011 the tru tungsten are great, as are the sebile magic swimmers. when it comes to swimbaits your probably better off spending a little more to get a better quality, although you can get the magic swimmers for under $10 on ebay.

I actually spent about the same on the two because the Tru Life was on sale. I probably wouldn't have bought it if it was full price. ;D Quote

MonarkMcfaster Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I have one and I can not get it to swim. I have tried several times with varying retrieves and had no luck.. Quote
ghost Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I'm w/ fishmasterjohn...I had one and it did not swim, it just moved thru the water w/ no motion. I returned it. Quote
Mattlures Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I am only guessing but.... maybe some clear coat got on the cloth joints? Maybe if you work the bait in your hands for a couple minutes you can break it in and then it will swim? I have never even held one but if the joints arent free and loose it wont swim. Quote
MonarkMcfaster Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Out of the water mine is very flexable. It will "wiggle" just by blowing a little air on it but it won't do anything in the water. Quote
Primus Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 My advice, save up or work a little extra OT and get a Matt Lures Hard Gill, excellent bait. Quote
