Super User Jrob78 Posted February 11, 2015 Super User Posted February 11, 2015 This bait looks awesome. It's got serious hunting action and will be released at the Classic. 1 Quote
TorqueConverter Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Neat. Dragging it along the bottom ruins the hunting action and it likes to ride on it's side so a lot of guys probably aren't going to like it. I'm guessing it's got a knocker/ballast weight mounted up high in the body that is producing the instability. Beats spending 20-30 dollars on Waddle Bats with their little blades. Quote
HookdUP Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Wow extremely nice .. If they aren't too too much I'll try a few .. Right now my most expensive cranks are jdm bling 55 Quote
DirtyDeuceGoose Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Retail will be 19.99 I believe. I think they look killer. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Super User Posted February 12, 2015 Retail will be 19.99 I believe. I think they look killer. $19.99 is what I saw too. I will definitely pick up a few of these. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 12, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 12, 2015 Looks good to me, hope they hold up better than a 110. Quote
Eccs Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Anybody pick some up?! If so have you fished them and whats the verdict? Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted February 25, 2015 Super User Posted February 25, 2015 Looks good to me, hope they hold up better than a 110. I've got a few 110s and havent broken any yet. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted February 25, 2015 Super User Posted February 25, 2015 They claim the 2000-2005 110 are the most durable. I've got a couple dozen of them but the "good" colors are hard to find and expensive. I've seen Pro Blues go for $220. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 25, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 25, 2015 I've got a few 110s and havent broken any yet. 100% of the Megabass 110s and the 1 110 magnum I owned broke for either no apparent reason, or from very minor contact with an object. I know they're a great bait and brand, but I can get myself to keep forking over $25+ for a bait that keeps falling apart on me. I'll just have to get by with the KO's and Luck E Strikes Quote
HookdUP Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Any news on what the depth will be on them? Quote
Dypsis Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Any news on what the depth will be on them? They have 2 sizes the 1.2 and the 1.5. The 1.2 runs 3-4' deep and the 1.5 runs 4-5' deep. I have a MB Sexy Shad 1.2 and a Secret Gill 1.5 on order - can't wait to try them out. Hope they hunt as good as the videos! Quote
HookdUP Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Wow and at those weights of bait they should be able tobe thrown a mile .. Where do you all purchase Quote
Eccs Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Wow and at those weights of bait they should be able tobe thrown a mile .. Where do you all purchase I think you misinterpreted. The 1.2 and 1.5 are related to their length, the 1.5 being 2.5 inches in length and the 1.2 being 2-1/3" in length. They are both 1/2 oz in weight. You can buy them at tackle warehouse but they are expensive at $20 a pop. They have 2 sizes the 1.2 and the 1.5. The 1.2 runs 3-4' deep and the 1.5 runs 4-5' deep. I have a MB Sexy Shad 1.2 and a Secret Gill 1.5 on order - can't wait to try them out. Hope they hunt as good as the videos! Be sure to post back with a little review! Quote
MikeA57 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 $20 for a crankbait???? You gotta be KIDDING ME!!!! This trend where baits keep getting more and more expensive is just pricing real people out of the market to fish. Yeah, it looks nice; REAL nice but all this flashy marketing, videos and pro's "adding" their names to products which jacks the price up so they can get "their cut" is just stupid. But then, in my mind paying $20 for a single bait is just stupid too. I think I'm just gonna quit bass fishing and go back to crickets and a bobber under a nice shade tree... Quote

It's just like anything else. You can buy the most expensive stuff on the market or not, it's totally up to you. There are plenty of great baits under $5 for people just like you, who don't want to spend a ton of money to enjoy fishing. 1 Quote

You don't have to buy it. Stay with cheaper lures. It's like saying I'm going to buy a car. You don't have to buy a Porch, a Geo Metro will do. But some want that name and are welling to pay X% more for something that does that exact same thing. 1 Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted March 26, 2015 Super User Posted March 26, 2015 He has to be trolling. There are plenty of great products at every price point. The average angler has never had more options and it is a fantastic time to be into fishing in any capacity. $20 baits are nice but far from a necessity. Well except for me- I needed this S Crank. Got one in Kinkuro headed my way now. Haters gonna hate. 1 Quote
ib_of_the_damned Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I'll be buying a few, I havent seen a crank with that kind of action.... Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted March 27, 2015 Super User Posted March 27, 2015 So I stopped by my local Field and Stream last night and wouldn't you know it, they had these in stock. So I bought one to try out. If it actually does what it's supposed to do, I'll be going back and buying a few more. At $20 a pop, its hard for me to buy multiple of something without ever fishing it. 1 Quote
JeziHogg Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I have no problem forking out $20+ for a lure, but when it comes to crankbaits I tend to go cheaper. I throw them in places most people wouldn't and they're definitely my number one lure when it comes to losing them. Quote
Primus Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 MikeA57 is probably going to hate me as I have 3 of them . He would really freak out if he saw some of my swimbaits Quote
