Super User the reel ess Posted June 25, 2015 Super User Posted June 25, 2015 Do any of you have experience with these? https://wlure.com/index.php?cPath=22_27&osCsid=60261a7dae2bf647b6d93d1732092277 They look to be of good quality for the price and have a lot of styles and colors. I have an Amazon gift card to burn. Quote

gobig Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 The reality is they will eat 8in plus lure in every state. Bass eat pretty much anything that swims and fits in there mouth, even there own kind. I get it If you want to start with smaller baits, there are a bunch to choose from but they are not going to be $7.99. They start in the $15 range and go up. Here is a list of some good baits that should get you going in the right direction. BBZ1 6in BBZ1 4in BBZ1 baby shad Triple trout MS Slammer A/C plug Bull shad Black Dog shell cracker and shell cracker G2 Mattlures hardgill and soft Rago Glide gill Gancraft 148 S-waiver Savage gear glide Savage gear linethru Hudd 68 Hudd weedless shad Trashfish Osprey Rago BVD There are also rat baits 3 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 26, 2015 Global Moderator Posted June 26, 2015 No trout or monster bass in KS either but I catch plenty of bass on swimmers including big trout colored baits. 1 Quote
timcauliffe Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 These are the same ones as the $6-8 swimbaits from overseas on eBay. as gobig stated, you're better off putting the money into a proven bait. Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted June 26, 2015 Author Super User Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks guys. I also don't have a rod for casting larger than 1 oz, maybe 1.5 oz lures. That's why I'm kind of looking in the 4-6" minnow shape range. Quote
Nice_Bass Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I think all swimbaits especially the proven ones even need tuned a bit. Hardgills, slammers, most of the swimbaits I throw do need tuned. that being said if you need low weight hard swimbaits that don't cost a fortune stick with spro, mini slammer, and savage gear. I have less experience with savage gear but so far their products are pretty legit and a savage gear glide swimmer would only run you double than the baits you are looking at. 1 Quote
