Slipknot6 Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I don't have the opportunity to see this color, or most color sweet beavers in person up in here in Wisconsin. On *** this bait looks black with brown swirl and green flake, which is exactly what i'm looking for, but on other sites its looks just black with green flake, and on others it looks like black with a watermelon swirl and green fleck. Can somebody please tell me what color delicious actually is? A pic would be great as well! Thanks for your help! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 4, 2011 Super User Posted February 4, 2011 Brown and black swirl with green and red flake. Never mention this color on the internet again. It doesn't work, LOL. Seriously though, TW does their own photography for that very reason - pics are not always accurate. You can usually trust their shots over anything else. Quote
philsoreel Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 This is more accurate in my opinion. Maybe a little more vibrant but close. Quote
Slipknot6 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Hahaha thanks francho!! I know there's no way this color will work, i just wanted to double check to make sure i never buy a pack Just like those breen chigger craws that don't EVER get a bite! Quote
philsoreel Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Since we are talking about these anyway....Has anyone ever gotten a bag of RI Sweet Beaver 4.20 that were way stiffer than normal and has an unusually high amount of salt in it? Like the bottom of a robo? Quote
Slipknot6 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 Not yet, only gone through about 6 bags though Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 5, 2011 Super User Posted February 5, 2011 Since we are talking about these anyway....Has anyone ever gotten a bag of RI Sweet Beaver 4.20 that were way stiffer than normal and has an unusually high amount of salt in it? Like the bottom of a robo? YES.............the last 4 bags of Green Pumpkin I got from Dicks were like this, but they still worked just fine. The Green Pumpkin was browner/darker than usual too. But like I said the caught fish just fine. The next batch I bought from TW.........back to "normal" . The dicks purchase was in Aug. or early Sept. The TW order was in october. I haven't bought any since. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 5, 2011 Super User Posted February 5, 2011 I got one in my hand, and the black is blacker than one philso posted - more contrast between black and brown. In the two years I've been using them, the only bad bag of beavers I bought didn't say Reaction Innovations on it. Every bag (probably in the dozens by now) has been good. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 5, 2011 Super User Posted February 5, 2011 I have found the Netbait ones to be a very capable substitute.............any thing else sucks IMHO. Quote

The ones I have are also as Francho describes here. Never fished this color before but bought some on a Black Friday sale...sorry to hear they aren't any good. :) Gone through countless bags of Beavers and never had a bad bag yet. Quote
philsoreel Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Wow, the extra salt or whatever changed the color big time. That particular bag wasn't anywhere near as dark as the ones on TW. Mine looked like Big Texan crossed with red-bug. They worked fine. Caught plenty of fish with them. I wouldn't even call it a bad bag. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted February 5, 2011 Global Moderator Posted February 5, 2011 IMHO, Best darn flipping and pitching bait there is. Mike Quote
