Heron Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Based on TW prices. Im finding that the Zoom Super Chunk is about the same price (per unit), as the Sweet Beaver. Im not liking this. (Of course only because I favor the super chunk.) Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted January 9, 2015 Super User Posted January 9, 2015 If you like Sweet Beavers and Super Chunks, look into the Berkley Havoc Pit Boss, I used to use both the Sweet Beaver and Super Chunk, and have replaced them with the Pit Boss's. Here is a price per bait break down for you (based on TW prices) R.I. Sweet Beaver 4:20....$4.79 per 10....or .47each Zoom Super Chunk ....$2.39 per 6...... about .47 each also Berkley Havoc Pit Boss...$2.99 per 8.........about .37 each Berkley Havoc Pit Chunk...$2.99 per 8 .....about .37 each And believe me, I have no regrets switching. People might think .10 a bait is chump change, but when I go through 1000 baits a season, that extra $100 I saved while catching just as many, and as good of quality of fish helps. Fishing doesn't have to be needlessly expensive, it's expensive enough as it is. 1 Quote

ColdSVT Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Oooooorrrrr you could be silly like me and have Sweet beavers, Super Chunks, Pit boss, and Netbaits version of the beaver because the bait monkey executes without prejudice...i hate the monkey and love him at the same time lol think about it...you have jig trailers, T rigs and more lol Quote
Super User deep Posted January 10, 2015 Super User Posted January 10, 2015 Sweet beaver and which question was that the answer to ? Quote
Heron Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Im just being a whiner because I dont feel the two should be the same price. They are not comparable baits, they dont use comparable amounts of plastic, Im skeptical if they have comparable overhead cost to make them...yadda yadda yadda... On the bright side...I think its great that the beaver is so comparatively inexpensive. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted January 10, 2015 Super User Posted January 10, 2015 I think its great that the beaver is so comparatively inexpensive. Not that beavers I've used! Quote
Super User deep Posted January 10, 2015 Super User Posted January 10, 2015 Now do a price comparison between Yamamoto (DT grubs) and Rage Tail (Craws) trailers. You might be surprised. Quote

Super User deep Posted January 10, 2015 Super User Posted January 10, 2015 oooohh...yeah those are close. Sorry I missed the joke. Strike King Rage Tail Craw....$4.99 per 7 ...or 0.71 each Yamamoto Double Tail Grub....$6.99 per 20..... or 0.35 each Matt Allen turned me onto these for jig trailers. Give the DT grubs a try on the back of your jig, if you're serious about horizontal jigging. Quote

But yeah, I agree, for 20 that price is decent 1 Quote

Super User HoosierHawgs Posted January 10, 2015 Super User Posted January 10, 2015 I just buy stuff from Big Bite Baits.... It's really good stuff and a great value. I've donne head to head comparisons with your GYCB stuff... They look, feel, and have identical action. And I can buy the BBB stuff for very cheap. It helps when you go through a lot of plastic, and you don't make but a couple hundred bucks a month. 1 Quote

Super User HoosierHawgs Posted January 11, 2015 Super User Posted January 11, 2015 That's a bold statement saying they are the same Tight lines Andrew Yes it is my friend.. But I can confidently say that BBB Trick Sticks are extremely similar plastic to a GYCB Senko, and their Hula Grub shape is quite similar as well. It's more affordable, and I really like them. That's a "1 2 Punch" for me so to speak. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 11, 2015 Global Moderator Posted January 11, 2015 The Netbait B Bug is a great and reasonable priced beaver bait. Zman Palmetto bugs are another great one and they last WAY longer than any other, just don't mix them with other plastics. The Zman Batwingz is a great trailer that also outlast all the others. Quote
Heron Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 ...if you're serious about horizontal jigging. Wait, what?....serious about horizontal jigging? With DT grubs? Are you saying that you have a preference for DT grubs, over other more elaborate trailers for this technique? Is that based more so on overall effectiveness over other trailers? Or rather on lower replacement costs after several hangups? 1 Quote
