Mr_Scrogg Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 2, yes Count them 2, BBZ-1 Rats on their way to Kansas. Stoked... Grey Ghost and Ninja Quote
Dogmatic Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Mind if I ask where you ordered them from? I love fishing "rat" topwaters. Have several, my new favorite is CL8 baby possum. Thx. Quote
Kyle46N Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I have a brown spro rat on the way as of yesterday. Most online sites are sold out right now, but spro has them. They are 32 bucks as opposed to 29. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted February 13, 2015 Super User Posted February 13, 2015 I picked up a large bettencourt rodent recently, I can't wait to throw that thing! Quote
AllTerrainAngler Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 i use the koppers live target mice 8.99-11.99 2 Quote
HookdUP Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 The LT mouse is awesome but I will admit the bbz1 rat is in a different category more in th swimbait class Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 That's correct. The mouse is no different than a frog to me. You can throw it on just about any combo within reason. The spro rat is 2.5oz and should be thrown on a swimbait combo made for heavy baits. 1 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 That's correct. The mouse is no different than a frog to me. You can throw it on just about any combo within reason. The spro rat is 2.5oz and should be thrown on a swimbait combo made for heavy baits. that top rat does look like a frog bait and that bottom reminds me of like a MS slammer or something like that.... wild looking rat on the bottom, but i like that!

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 I might pick one up to try. The finish doesn't seem durable from the few outings I've seen reported. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted February 19, 2015 Super User Posted February 19, 2015 I might pick one up to try. The finish doesn't seem durable from the few outings I've seen reported. You can tell as soon as you take it out of the box. Feels like you could scrape it off with your fingernail. Maybe using a spray clear would help it out a bit. Quote

Lunker Chunker 88 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I'm one of the cool kids now! Lucky! I have to wait for TW to ship mine Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted February 22, 2015 Super User Posted February 22, 2015 I'm not understanding that whole deal. I ordered mine from TW last Mon and it arrived Wed. There are people who ordered before they got the first batch in and those guys still don't have one. Quote

There are people who ordered before they got the first batch in and those guys still don't have one. It may depend on the color, I ordered the Morning Dawn color during the Black Friday sale and it shipped on Thursday. Quote
Kyle46N Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Instead of waiting on TW to get them in stock, just pay 2 dollars more and get it from Spro. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted February 22, 2015 Super User Posted February 22, 2015 It may depend on the color, I ordered the Morning Dawn color during the Black Friday sale and it shipped on Thursday. You ordered it in Nov and it shipped Thurs. I ordered my morning dawn Mon and had it Wed. Doesn't exactly seem right to me. Instead of waiting on TW to get them in stock, just pay 2 dollars more and get it from Spro. That's an idea but most people don't just buy 1 thing when they're on TW. I know I cant. Quote
crankbank Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 You ordered it in Nov and it shipped Thurs. I ordered my morning dawn Mon and had it Wed. Doesn't exactly seem right to me. Ha! Well then, you make a great point. Quote
AQUA VELVA Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I'm not sure how well it would work on MI bass but I bet the pike & musky would like it. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted February 23, 2015 Super User Posted February 23, 2015 I seen a guy using the larger mouse. From shore he casted it into tree branches and worked it slowly like it was walking on the branches. Then he splashes it in the water. He was pulling out bass after bass. These baits work awesome.

Super User Jeff H Posted February 23, 2015 Super User Posted February 23, 2015 I have an old Shakespeare mouse , new in box . Nice! Wood? Quote
Super User scaleface Posted February 23, 2015 Super User Posted February 23, 2015 Nice! Wood? Yeah its wood. The paint has cracked some from age . Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 23, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 23, 2015 I got mine from our local tackle store. He got 6 of them in on Thursday and did like he normally does when he gets a new bait in, called and asked if I wanted him to hold any for me. Quote
