soccplayer07 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 looks similar to his grass minnow although this one is on steroids!!! his baits are top notch. I saw this listed on TW's facebook page this afternoon. look forward to trying this one. Quote
airborne_angler Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 Prices are VERY Fisherman Friendly. Your not gonna break the bank by using one and losing it. These are also probably not as heavy as Hudd's and if these are anything like his Baby Bass Series Baits,these will smoke the fish. Quote
Super User webertime Posted January 19, 2011 Super User Posted January 19, 2011 The Catfish/Bullhead make me all tingly. Quote
MNGeorge Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I *** you guys who don't have the toothy critters to contend with. Maybe losing one wouldn't break the bank, but you could easily go through 4 or 5 of these in day of fishing on just about any body of water in MN. Even if you didn't get bit off, one Pike or Musky would no doubt shred the bait rendering it useless. They do look awesome though, especially that Channel Cat. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted January 19, 2011 Super User Posted January 19, 2011 They do look good. All the swim baits in the Matlures lineup have great detail. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 19, 2011 Super User Posted January 19, 2011 Very nice looking in person as well. I have the shad (I think it's shad) and the baby bass. They are about twice the length of the baby bass, with a little slimmer transition to the tail. Quote

Mattlures Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Speed I think sombodies been lying to you ;D ;D or you need to get a new measuring tape ;D My tournament series are right at 6in and my baby bass are 4 3/4in. Quote
Carrington Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 they look ok, some of the colors seem weird such as the catfish one. Havnt ever seen a bass eat a catfish. Quote

Mattlures Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Carrington, I am just covering most of the bases. I have talked to lake rangers and when they stock small channel cats the bass line up and eat them just like they do when they stock trout. I have also had bass spit up baby channels and bullheads in the livewell. They do eat them and they are something different ,as far as lures go, that the bass dont see. Plus I have a bunch of standard prey colors. They still eat trout colors too Quote
River Rat316 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 We have a couple lakes around here where that bullhead one would be killer on, I have watched bass eat large slow moving stupid bullhead on a couple lakes, also had a 5+ go to a 4+ when it puked up a 8" bullhead on my carpet. I am sure that if there are channels around bass would take those down to. Quote

I've used this stuff for jigs and even T-Rigs as well. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Single-Strand-Wire/710030.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dsteel%2Bleaders%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=steel+leaders&WTz_l=Header;Search-All Products Quote

Dam, really? LOL, well Matt would be the one to set the record straight. Thanks for the heads up and no, I havent forgotten about the video. They don't swim real well with my current water conditions... Quote
Primus Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 they look ok, some of the colors seem weird such as the catfish one. Havnt ever seen a bass eat a catfish. Bass will eat just about any critter that they can fit in their mouth, if they will hit a spinnerbait then I'm sure they will hit a bait that looks very close to a real fish. I just got an order from Matt's of some of his hardbaits along with a school of his tournament series baits. If you go to Matt's website you will see a couple of colors that TW doesn't have. I'm waiting for the ice to go away before I fish mine but I've heard good reports from those who have had a chance to throw them. I'm very excited about this bait and it's reasonably priced. Quote
