FrogTastic Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knows about some super-realistic baits. I just did a huge TW order, and picked up some Mann's Hardnose Snakes. I'm interested to see if anyone knows of any super-realistic baits, as I'm looking to pick some new ones up. Thanks, Drew P.S. ~ If anyone is interested, I have a TON of old tackle for sale. PM me and you can have my phone number to text me Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 The most realistic lures are well tied flies. Google Fred G Hannie flies and you'll see what I mean. 1 Quote
Super User bigbill Posted April 12, 2015 Super User Posted April 12, 2015 Crankbaits with orange bottoms. Don't get rid of the older lures. I rotate my lures often. I bring back the older ones that I know still work and put the newer ones sidelined on the bench. Everyone still catches fish. Quote
Big C Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Huddleston makes the most realistic crawfish (in my opinion) called Huddbugs. And if you have stuff for sale put it in the flea market post pics and prices, or if you're willing to trade put what you would be willing to trade for. Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Some of the frogs they make today are pretty darn realistic. Lots of high end swimbaits, like the Mattlures mentioned above, are highly realistic in all aspects. Quote

I'll put it up on the flea market later this week. PM me and I'll tell you what I have and how much, if you want and I could probably trade Quote

Matthew2000 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 The top of the frog catch's the fisherman the bottom is the only thing the bass see! That's false, if you watch Dave mercers show they showed a fish eye view of what it looks like. You could see some of the top and all of the side. 1 Quote

You could see some of the top and all of the side. Did they ask a real fish what they see to get the "fish eye" view? Mattlures, Hinkle and Randall K make the most realistic lures I've had my hands on. 2 Quote
Nice_Bass Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 3:16 no bull frog for me as well. Most fun lure I have ever fished. Quote

Mattlures, Hinkle and Randall K make the most realistic lures I've had my hands on. Well they kinda stuck a camera where a fish would be and would be looking if there was a commotion. Do all of you're realistic swimbaits look like fish in the water ? Quote
Bill77 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Frogs, sankos and jerk baits are great. ,Bill Quote

Jmoose Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 There a whole gaggle of plastic baits out there and nearly all of them are really lifelike. A plastic lizard with a shaky head is a good example. Plastics catch bass just as good as anything else that is intensely lifelike... and without breaking the bank. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 15, 2015 Global Moderator Posted April 15, 2015 Savage gear makes some very realistic swimbaits and soft plastics at reasonable prices and they strive to make them durable! Quote
Felixone Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 The customs can get pretty ridiculous... What the!!!! That thing is crazy. Shoot on tough days I would be thrilled to catch even one that size, let alone use it as bait. Quote
